Are you using an even thickness dot with odd thickness hairs? That will make it look off center.

I believe there’s a setting for that.

Yup!

"On My Mark" and "On My Way" aren't the same, but you should definitely be able to customize your pings.

The Dream!

The "On My Mark" smart ping (on the left for Valorant) imo belongs on the right side to match League's "On My Way". It could be implemented as a toggle-able option or full smart ping customization menu. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

When pinging the big map "On My Way" is in that right-hand position. It's not a great ping for the first person wheel because you can only place it in your field of view, which is usually not very far. So we swapped in "Watching Here" so you can mark angles you're guarding.

"On My Mark" places a countdown to coordinate executes; it's a different kind of ping altogether.

Give it a try on the big map and let me know!

The bullets are slightly off center for the odd thickness crosshairs, it seems.

The hitscan is such that it makes no practical difference. Precision and accuracy are the same.

CSGO's crosshairs are drawn in a similar fashion.

I was not aware of this and am not OK with it. I have installed Valorant (not impressed BTW, but whatever). Will uninstalling the game remove the driver and the anticheat software? How can I confirm this driver, and the rest of whatever you have decided to place on my PC outside of the allocated software install, is completely removed? Please provide instructions or a support link. Thx.

P.S. Anti-cheat shouldn't work like malware. FFS you already have cheaters just days into your beta, so whatever you did didn't even work. Get yo shit together.

You can uninstall Riot Vanguard at any time by going to Add/Remove programs.

This may or may not be related, but is there any issue of the anti-cheat being triggered in a virtual machine with PCIe card passthorugh'd? My main machine is a server/workstation hybrid.

Sorry, currently we don't support playing the game inside a virtual machine.

For now we think a run-at-boot time driver is the right choice.

So... Your anti-cheat is a choice? So cheaters can just uninstall it?

It seems like you're saying two different things throughout your post.

You can uninstall Riot Vanguard any time you like but you won't be able to play the game while it's uninstalled.

So I am commenting on this as a Cheat developer.... a long time well known developer. I have basically bypassed every single anticheat ever created. This is what I do for a living and sometimes it works out well.
I was alerted to this thread about Valorant as many people in the recent days have been asking me to take a look at this game and its anticheat. While I still haven't decided if this game is worth my time (no offense to anyone developing the game but games are dime a dozen these days and most shooters die in a few months) or not. I don't even have an account for this game and while I do have a league account... I never made cheats for LoL either and actually don't cheat while playing games myself.

After reading through this thread extensively.... the presence of a boot-time driver is a useless and invasive technique. Many people give it pause because of what can be added to that driver in the future and because of the corruption that has happened in the ant...

You should add a toggle option. We could turn if off, and when we turn back it on it would need a PC restart. I don't like the fact it is running everytime.

You can effectively toggle it off by going to Add/Remove programs an uninstalling Riot Vanguard. The game launcher will reinstall (and ask you to reboot) next time you want to play.

Any update on the cheater situation? And the fog or war system already been contested if I’m right in saying so or is the fog of war system still not implemented?

The Fog of War system is working, I think there's just some confusion (especially among cheat developers) on what it does. Check out my article coming Tuesday that will go into details on how we built it.

This has nothing to do with "earning trust," and in fact rolling this out as secretively as it was is a huge violation of trust. Even looking it up now, I can only find a single article on it an this single reddit post. This news should be the only thing we hear about this game at this point. This is an extreme violation of privacy, especially when you consider that Riot is owned by Tencent. Not sure how this decision made it to an actual release. I was excited to get a beta key but if this isn't removed there is no way I can play this game.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

Here's an article from 2 months ago where we talk about the kernel component: https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/dev/dev-null-anti-cheat-kernel-driver/

This sadly doesn't seem to work on every pc, for me I have to go through the console command route and reboot computer. Really quite a hastle if this is the only way to disable Vanguard after playing valorant.

I'll look into it, if the uninstall is working cleanly for you we'll need to fix it.

Ok, so, question: if we can simply uninstall the driver at any point the game's not running, and it not being active all the time is what allows for some additional cheats to get through, then what's stopping people from taking advantage of that potential vulnerability anyways by just uninstalling it, pre-loading their cheats, and then reinstalling the driver again? From what you've described, it sounds like this is going to affect the average user who can't be assed to do this every time, more than cheaters who are already exploiting every vulnerability they can.

And additionally, if it only does cheat detection when the game is running, then how does it always being active help prevent cheaters?

In the situation that you describe the game will show an error screen asking you to reboot your computer.

Okay sorry for misleading info. I gathered this info from multiple cheat forums where people said that fog of war is not a thing yet, I havent checked myself. I guess they were wrong then :)

No worries, check out my article on Tuesday that'll have a lot more info on how Fog of War works :)

I love how open you are about it. I come from csgo where the cheating is out of control so I love hearing how you fight that. Your talk about how the anti-cheat works is one of the main reasons I am so excited about this game. Keep up the fight!

I appreciate it, thanks!

I'm not sure if this is because of that driver, but I tabbed out of game and closed it from the windows screen, PC essentially took a shit, couldnt shutdown via start menu, had to turn it off via power button and got stuck in a boot loop, couldn't even get to automatic repair, it'd just black screen, never happened before, only thing I could think of was the Valorant anti-cheat, after about 30 restarts it just sorted itself out. But still, thought I'd mention it.

My guess is this is a graphics problem, we've got some window manager improvements coming in one of our updates that I hope will fix issues like this.
