Vanguard is blocking System32 .sys drivers on system start up. xtuacpidriver.sys to be exact. Which is Intel tuning software.
Make sure you have the latest update from the vendor: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24075/Intel-Extreme-Tuning-Utility-Intel-XTU
Extremely old versions of this have been known to cause issues.
damn that's an awesome find! that is definitely a bug and we'll get it fixed the patch after .49! thank you!
Thanks for the report. We're on it.
Hi /u/0xNemi and /u/RiotArkem !
Is there a way to check what was blocked beyond the notification? On boot, the notification disappeared before I could click it, and when I then went to notification center and clicked on it, it went away without presenting any popup or additional information on what was blocked.
Reading this thread, I'm 99% sure it was HWMonitor, but the fact that I have to rely on an ephemeral popup rather than an actual application or even just a log file is pretty frustrating.
Run this command in command prompt:
devtrackers.gg
reg query HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\vgk /v BlockedImage
The tray icon reads from that location.
Hello, is there any possibility of adding a toggle walk option please?
It's on our list of to-dos - not sure of timing just yet.
Solid patch for a lot of UI issues I've been having both in-game and in the menus. Having to press play at the top right was a bizarre choice, so I'm glad they're addressing that. Ammo and damage direction indicators are a game changer.
The changes to health and ammo UI are incremental. Hopefully they make things a little better without becoming detrimental in other ways. Let us know how they land.
Can i know the fix too?
The player edited their comment with the fix (NOINTEGRITYCHECKS was on), I just didn't want to publicly post it out of privacy respects.
Your issue may be different - Player Support has pretty good steps for finding known configurations that can cause issues.
Any info on the BSOD many people are having due to Vanguard? I'm struggling so hard with the AC I had to uninstall the game otherwise I keep having blue screens...
If it's still happening after yesterday's update can you file a support ticket and provide them the BSOD crash dump? (It'll be C:\Windows\Memory.dmp)
Reading this makes me feel like someone from gaming community answering and not like someone from Dev side. You guys have won my heart. No matter what happens to the game, don't let this side ever wear off. Games will come and go over the years but humbleness and respect for the community will always be the things you will be remembered for.
P.S. I had a question too, forgot to ask 😂. My auto guns keep stop firing randomly while holding down LMB. I have checked outside the game and the LMB works fine. Is it because my laptop is on the lower end side of the spectrum? I have a laptop with i5-7200u with GeForce 940MX and 8GB of RAM.
We've seen a few reports of issues like this and we're investigating. Hopefully we can track it down but I suspect a game bug rather than something unique to your computer. Your computer sounds like it should run the game fine!
What would you recommend I do about this. I am more concerned over temperatures than fan wear so I always have my fans at 100% voltage using MSI command center. If I uninstall command center they immediately go to operating very slowly until my CPU gets hotter than I would like. Has this exploitable driver issue been fixed in recent updates to MSI command center, or am I going to be forced into choosing if I want excessively hot CPU/mobo or not playing valorant?
I haven't tested it but the change log from MSI Afterburner 4.6.2 says
Which sounds promising!
/u/RiotArkem Hello there. Sorry for botherin you but i have a quick quiestion. League of legends has something called League Displays which let's you pick wallpapers from charmpions and skins etc. Have you thought about adding Valorant wallpapers?
I'd love for something like this to exist, not sure if/when it'll happen though!
Yeah I get the same behavior from NZXT Cam, with Vanguard blocking driver cpuz_149x64.sys.
It prevents CPU temp monitoring and fan speed control. I've opened a ticket with NZXT, I guess we'll see if they're responsive towards this or not.
Feel like we'll get stuck in a he said/she said between Riot and the other companies that make these programs.
"Removed character portrait from player’s minimap icon to better distinguish player icon; icon will receive additional color and polish in the future"
Does anyone know what this means? Are they removing our own portraits from the mini map to help find yourself on the minimap, or all portraits? I liked the portraits more than just colors like CSGO, or just blue colors like it was in valorant befoe the change
Just your portrait. Your teammates still have their portraits.
I didn't see anything about the ping spamming issue that drops FPS for the whole team. Hopefully this is something they fix, extremely easy to troll with it.
We mostly fixed it in 0.47+ but there was still a way to do it. 0.49+ closes that last loophole.
Removed character portrait from player’s minimap icon to better distinguish player icon; icon will receive additional color and polish in the future
Does this mean I won't be able to quickly look at the mini map and see where each agent is? Because right now it's very helpful to quickly glance up and be able to say, for example, "Saje, rotate."
We removed the portrait for your icon. Your teammates still have their character icons.
This was fixed in the patch but wasn't recorded in the notes, thats our bad. Cypher players can once again cage enemies without interaction issues. We'll update the notes.
Moo.
For all shotguns, moved the crosshair’s center dot by 1px to center it on the screen. The devs expect shotgun lethality to increase by 4,000% as a result
bucky + shorty confirmed best loadout
Confirmed.
We're aware. There's some networking issues that we're sorting out on our backend. They're unrelated to the most recent changes.
Things should be back to normal in the next few minutes. Sorry for the inconvenience!
