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.

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

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.

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."

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.

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

Well you've hit the nail on the head. Not having perfect security on what essentially a backdoor to potentially hundreds of millions of computers around the world is frankly a little terrifying given who's at the top of the Valorant totem poll.

Quoting what was said in another thread:

It depends how brazen they want to be. Small scale they could gather a whole heap of data. Like where do people look for their news and information would be really handy in prioritising propaganda efforts. Between Tik Tok monitoring phones and Riot monitoring PCs they can probably get a solid sample size for young westerners. On the other end of the spectrum, they could use it for distributed attacks (credential stuffing/DDOS) or to try and hide the origin on a more sophisticated attack (i.e. using compromised user credentials to exfiltrate data). They have administrator access to the machine, they can do with it whatever you could do with it.

Going really...

Because HWMonitor loads a driver that can be abused by third party applications to read and write physical memory, read and write MSRs, perform IO operations (privileged); all from usermode. It's unsafe to load anyways and they're blocking it because it can be potentially used by hackers to read and write memory for the game.

u/RiotArkem where do we report false positives in regards to vanguard? it just flagged my MSI mysic light (for GPU RGB)

How do you enable the system tray icon though?

Opened valorant to have it download the update but there's still no icon after reboot.

/u/RiotArkem I'm unable to reinstall the game anymore because it says I need to install the required dependencies, but it won't let me install it. I don't know where else to go with this since I submitted a ticket a week ago and still haven't received a response. Do you have ant clue as to how I can fix this? Thanks 😊

While installing and uninstalling is a benign thing, it seems like a repetitive time waste as well as repeated installs not being something i'm in the habit of doing. So that would be my justification.

The use case would be that it doesn't require the install/uninstall. That's (small, but still) a burden on a user to remember to uninstall or whether they did uninstall last time and if they need to restart. The interface could (hopefully) be as simple as a right click on the system tray icon, with a list item of the checked/unchecked variety, to see the status of "[✔️] Load Vanguard on next restart" or "[ ]Load Vanguard on next restart]." That saves time from checking add/remove programs or booting Valorant up.

This would also seem to be in line with what seems to be the intent of the change you've already described - to make Vanguard feel less intrusive and to give the user control. This would further respect a user's time and attention, as well as reduce the a...

Out of curiosity was it the pak encryption setting? UE4 dev here and would love to avoid the same issue from happening to my game.

Hey there, sorry to be bothering. I'm not sure if you're the right person to be asking this but a lot of people (me included) have encountered a bug that prevents them from selecting a resolution. Whatever option the user chooses, the resolution will always bug out and the only fix is to disable the monitor driver in windows device manager. Is this issue being looked at? Can we expect this simple bug to be fixed by launch? Thanks for your time.

Would it be possible to have a 'do not start on next reboot' option as a middle-ground choice?
