Riot Arkem, a lot of people have been saying that this driver on startup should be toggleable for when the game is not running. How do you feel about this? Is it possible we could get this?

For those concerned having basically a rootkit running on kernel level of my laptop all the time like me, can we have a "bandage" solution like a toggle option on the launcher of valorant?

By that I mean having the vanguard anticheat turned off by default on windows startup, and when, only when I decide that it is time to play valorant I fire up my valorant launcher that tells me "hey look the vanguard anticheat system is off you need a system restart to turn it on JUST FOR THIS NEXT STARTUP". So I restart my computer knowing that this time the vanguard anticheat WILL actually start on boot and I play my couple of games and I'm all good (not really but still). Afterwards when I'm finished I close off valorant, and I reboot my pc knowing that during the following startup the anticheat will not be starting again.

I know I will still have a backdoor open on my computer during all the time I'm playing valorant and when the pc remains on after playing but at least I'm in...

Hello! Really enjoying the game. I have a question I was considering making a thread about, but here you are!

Does the extra 20% apply to purchased valorant points only, or does it take into account the purchased valorant points AND the bonus points?

For example, if I spend $99 in the beta, I get 9500+ 1500 bonus valorant points, for a total of 11,000.

If it includes the bonus points, I expect to receive 13,200 valorant points when the game launches. However, if it only applies to the 'purchased' points, we're looking at 11,400. This is a difference of 1800 valorant points. This is significant, as that's 1-2 high tier skins.

My bad math skills tell me the valorant point bonus is ~15% at $99, ~13% at $49, ~10% at $34, ~8% at $19, ~6% at $9, and 0% at $5. If the policy only applies to purchased points, by spending more in the beta, you're in a way rewarded less(5% extra vs a full 20%).

Just trying to understand how this works so I can make...

Please provide an official writeup on how to totally remove both the game and the anti-cheat for players who wish to do so. Nobody should have to use an outside resource to figure out how to get rid of software that comes with the game and runs behind the scenes without knowing.

Please also include this information SOMEWHERE in the installation or on the official website, because it’s RIDICULOUS that I only found out about this several days after originally playing.

This all seems incredibly shady, and the fact that there is no official response other than a comment strikes me as odd, especially for an established company like Riot.

Correct me if I'm wrong here but I think that the opposite of this (late kill shot packet is seen as valid by the server) that you get kill trading which people consider frustrating in other games, right?

Any chance you could give some insight into your thought process for the monetization of the game? What were your priorities, challenges you faced, etc. Would love to learn from a veteran!

Yea, I would be very surprised if they don't tap into the whales. I used to play a "mostly" single player mobile star wars game that let you join guilds but they we're really that big of a thing. The top 10 guilds were almost exclusively Arab run or own or entirely comprised of, the amount of money dumped into a freak single player mobile mmo blew my f**king mind. I also hope they have Arab server on launch because it's taken 4 years for overwatch to get theirs (it's rumored to drop tomorrow, and is currently used on the ptr).

Do you interpolate between ticks when latency compensating? Or is tick resolution enough with 128?

Will Riot Direct be used to imrpove connections to gane servers in other Riot titles, such as League of Legends?

• Description: Crash to desktop at seemingly random times. Maybe I'm seeing a pattern where there is none, but it seems to happen earlier in the rounds. This does not occur in the menu. It doesn't happen every game, sometimes multiple times a game. I would guess an average of once every other game. None of my friends are crashing at all.

• Type of Bug: 6-Players in Game

• Description: We had a 3-man queue where we played properly. A friend of ours logged into my friend's account, but it didn't kick him out and let him play. So our team had 6 players. He was able to move and play and we could also hear him talking in-game.

• Reproduction rate: We haven't tried it again due to fear of abusing it and getting banned, but when we did this before it should just log the person out of the game which for some reason it didn't do in this scenario. When it happened our friend just said his game "freaked" out and didn't kick him out.

Do you have to talk to residential ISPs to make sure they hand off Riot Game related packets directly to your POP or does your system handle that automatically?

The fog of War is a very good feature but it can still be improved. Right now a wallhack can still give an advantage because the server don't hold the information as long as it should when an enemy is going around a corner and it don't hold the info at all if the enemy is behind a small wall.

Also the time between the moment a cheat is detected and the cheater is banned has to be reduce.
