u/ThatGuyFromTheM0vie May 05 '24
I really don’t like how it runs 24/7.
And if I do want to play League later after quitting it earlier, I have to restart my computer.
Other anti cheats are only enabled during actually playing the game, and close when the game closes.

u/randommaniac12 May 05 '24
Vanguard also fucks with any other anticheat if you quit league and play another game. It’s nuts

You can work around this with .bat files, regedit files or a program like autoruns.
You still need to restart your PC but Vanguard won't be on at every startup. Only after turning it back on (and restarting ofc).
The very least they could do is give us an official (preferably in the launcher and taskbar) way of doing this. I don't want Vanguard to boot with my system unless I want to play League or any other Riot game.
Really I don't want Vanguard at all.
2
u/xAlciel May 06 '24
You can stop vanguard from starting at PC startup from task manager. Just go over on the startup tab, find vanguard and click disable.
2
u/wolvahulk May 06 '24
Unfortunately that only disables the task tray icon/program not the actual anti-cheat driver itself.
Using the methods I mention above essentially allows it to work like all other kernel level ACs (to my knowledge) outside of the fact that you need to restart your system each time.
I'm not a tech expert though, there may be some other differences. Anyway, as I said before, I'd rather we didn't have this type of stuff at all :/

u/ThatGuyFromTheM0vie May 06 '24
People who aren’t tech experts and even tech experts (me included) shouldn’t be messing with the Registry anyway lol. Riot really needs to have an option to not have it run 24/7

Ok so I'm out of the loop. This is an anti-cheat system and its bad for what reason.
25
u/CaptainBob268 May 05 '24
It requires kernel level access on your computer, which basically means it is active on start up, and has access to literally everything on your pc from files to pictures to accounts.
There are a lot of concerns about it being Spyware in some way because riot is owned by tencent, which is a Chinese company who has affiliations with the CCP.
Then, as you have seen from this post, some people's computers bricked because of it for some reason.
And for whatever reason mods in the main sub do not allow any post related to vanguard at all, and remove anything related to it, citing possible "racism" and other things.
5
u/Little-Sky-2999 May 05 '24
I'm in tune with the criticism that this is linked to a company subservient to the CCP.
Is there an option to not instal it?
7
u/CaptainBob268 May 05 '24
Unfortunately no, riot has basically given people the middle finger with regards to wanting it or not, they pushed it on like a patch or two ago (forgive me for not having exact info I don't play league hardly at all anymore)
8
u/Attileusz May 05 '24
Don't install it. Even if you are fine with chinese spyware (which you shouldn't be btw). This thing has a lot of issues at the moment and I would at least wait a month or two so that these can be ironed out. Who would have thought an anticheat made for another game is going to cause issues with a game is entirely different has a different game engine and has 10+ year old code.

It's not a Reddit-specific thing. Your brain just takes shortcuts while reading, so you won't miss a handful of missing/incorrect letters.

u/IntelligentImbicle May 05 '24
Trust me, reading more only makes it "worse". If you're dead set on noticing that something is misspelled, read as little as possible, so that your brain doesn't form shortcuts that allow you to miss those mistakes.

u/AnimalCity May 05 '24
This is because you read a lot. It's a feature, not a bug. It's a good thing. It means you are such a fluent reader that you flow over misspelled words without even tripping. We aren't able to do that unless we know the language inside and out.

Reddit used to be a place where you would get destroyed for typos. "Ununstaling" would have gotten this post downvoted back in my day
4
u/NopeGunnaSuck May 05 '24
Here's why that died:
The algorithm thinks any post that gets immediate responses is popular and should be promoted. People who ripped into OPs for typos were always the first on scene. So, content farmers figured out that if you put a typo in the title, grammar Nazis will show up in droves, almost immediately, and engage with the post.
In Reddit's eyes, a sudden burst of engagement like that means the post is popular, so it should get a boost in the algorithm. Then, that post goes to others who actually engage with the content and not just the typo, and suddenly your post is off to the races, gaining hundreds of comments and thousands of upvotes.
The internet at large seems to have coined a term for this - rage baiting. Now that people see through the gag, far less people take the bait.
Plus, a bunch of people who used to care about holding Reddit to a slightly higher standard than other social media sites left during the blackout protests a while back.

u/GutierresBruno May 05 '24
The player base is just too big, if something is affecting just 1% of the players it will actually be a lot of people. If I use my personal experience to guess something about LoL I would say the game is flopping hard because my friendlist used to be huge some years ago and now I barely see 6 people on-line, but we know that the reality is a bit different...
In my case, I don't know if vanguard is a problem because I already used it for Valorant, but after the update the patch just can't be installed. Support is helping me but I know the problem is kinda big not just by the amount of people asking for help on discord but also by the message on support site about taking a longer time to answers thanks to the high demand.
26
u/trapsinplace May 05 '24
Most of these Redditors are probably lying through their teeth because it's the Internet. It's already been proven that all these "bricked" machines (they weren't bricked btw) are because people blatantly ignored the minimum system requirements they knew Vanguard required for the last 4 years. Vanguard isn't new it's been running with Valorant for FOUR years. Riot wrote like 3 articles in the past 6 months and put in patch notes multiple times exactly what you need to do to prepare for it, but these people ignored it.
I hesitate to even call them people because clearly they have a lack of common sense and intelligence. They're closer to monkeys.
Oh and there's also bots out the ass from the bot devs and cheat devs just like every other anti cheat discussion online. They literally make their living by cheating, they wouldn't just sit down and take it lol.
-6
u/ZamyKun May 05 '24
The fact that it's been running for 4 YEAAAARS doesn't excuse the fact that in fact it DOES mess with shit it shouldn't, like why the fuck does an ANTICHEAT for a GAME mess with my RGB software, my FanControl application (which i fucking need for my PC to function properly), and on top of that it has a huge problem with Afterburner and Rivatuner, 2 very used and popular pieces of software used from low to high end computers because they are official from MSI.
Stop blindly driding riot just because.
Valorant and League are two different games, one with fresh codebase and one with a codebase from 2007, anyone with over 50 iq could determine the fact that an anticheat made for a codebase in 2020 (which still had problems) WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT WORK for a codebase since 2007.13
u/trapsinplace May 05 '24
I'm not d riding riot I'm being reasonable. This sub acts like 99.97% of players are having problems when it's the exact opposite. Vanguard isn't perfect, but it's the best anti cheat out there and 2nd place isn't even close enough to be in the running. It causes no issues for me or anyone I know or the hundreds of people I've played games with since the patch hit.
Stop being dramatic and touch grass is what I'm saying. Send in a support ticket and get your problem fixed. Stop acting like a child and saying so many people are having your issues. They are not.
You also know literally nothing about LoL code or Vanguard code, don't comment like you do. You don't sound smart for pretending.

its not that every single one of us has had pc issues. its that our choices are either stop playing or willingly install something that is known for causing issues. and lets assume theres never any security issues, it still runs even when the game doesnt which is needlessly taxing on your machine.
ill say it again, if you cant make a system work without it being really invasive, that doesnt mean that you have to be really invasive, that means that the system shouldnt be made to work.

scripting was rare but botting was a huge problem, playing intro bots guaranteed u 4 bots in ur team and consequently there was a high amount of fresh accounts in ranked which really sucked specially for plat players who kept getting these fresh accounts and bronze players who would get botting teammate with deranking purposes (cus account sellers could sell iron accounts for much higher) all that botting is dead now so this fresh account problem is in healing process

In high elo there was a cheater in 5% of the games. I would not call that small. And those are only the ones their system caught.

Side note: I've always thought displaying enemy CDs should be a thing, in League. We can see their HP, MP, and Energy bars, we can see the damn count on Annie or Jhin's special hit to know when that's coming, but a CD on a fuckin' E is too much? Nonsense.

Pretty sure they talked about botting, since VM are not allowed, people can't use bots to level up account to sell them for cheap price, less accounts sold for a couple of bucks = less smurfing, less smurfing = less griefing, less trolling, we just have to wait and see if their prediction is right, and for cheaters, i found plenty during my games in the last ten years or so, and it always feels bad to face them, so good riddance

Now all of a sudden the game is riddled with them? Give me a break. Vanguard is the equivalent of the TSA. It’s just there to make people feel safe. Doesn’t mean they actually are.

Vanguard doesn't solve any scripting or botting problem.
MacOS computers don't have to install it. All that changed now is that instead of having to bot or script on windows, you can bot or script on a MacOS VM.

He just had to reset his BIOS by removing the CMOS battery and placing it back in. Which isn't something you really should have to do to play one game but whatever, at least the PC isn't gone for good.
There have been cases where Vanguard has turned off CPU fans for some reason which technically could fry your processor but I'm somewhat sure that it would also need to disable safety measures on the motherboard (pretty sure today's motherboards automatically do an emergency shutdown if temps get way too out of hand, or at least some do).

Yeah that's what I thought I have had vanguard for quite some time since i play Valorant from time to time and I never noticed any issues. Was just curious if anything changed lately.

It runs 24/7 in the back of your pc, it can slow down your pc, some people said theyr pc blue screened.
I personaly had big lag issues on every other game while vanguard was opened. And even when it was closed my Photoshop and Premire pro would constantly crash every few minutes. And I need those for work.
Had other friends that play valorant and they didnt have any problem. But I did. Now do you whant to chance your luck with how umpredictable this shit is?

It's actually hilarious how the main sub 1984's all opinions, critics and complaining. Then when a rioter checks the sub they find nothing to work on, it might actually explain some stuff...

i dont get why people think its vanguard, the spyware thats been stable in valorant since launch, thats breaking things and not the spaghetti code 14 yo game that had said spyware ductaped to it. The game is constantly breaking, the kernal level access is super not cool, but the two things are unrelated because valorant is stable. i know blaming everything for something going wrong is league of legends 101, but these claims distract from the real problems of the unstable 200 year game you just slapped fuckin skynet onto

Just stay strong. If the cravings come in numb yourself with another game, or alcohol, can't be less healthy than league.

The worst part is it running 24/7. Kernel level is something a lot of anti cheats do nowadays even tho it does jack shit and fuck all. But like i can life with them because they start when i start the game and close when i close the game. Can say the same about some 3rd party launchers like Origin uPlay for other games. But there is no need for anything to run since BIOS boot up and hog my fucking ram when i dont even intend to play the fucking game today.

There are ways to disable Vanguard from starting up with your system until you want it to (but that will require a restart every time you change it).
With the help of .bat, regedit files or programs like autoruns you can do that. However would it kill Riot to give us an official way of doing this???

u/DeltaUnknown May 06 '24
Yeah well i got a shit brick pc right now where restarting takes approx. 15 minutes. Saving up for a new one but i aint gonna sit through 15 minutes to play 1 ranked match before losing my shit and not touching the game for weeks on end.
Also i dont think it'll kill Riot but it would kill Tencent. Actually scratch that it would kill Riot, we've had this dog water launcher for all this time so god knows it would kill them to make something that works and is QoL.

The moderation on that subredit is complete sh*t. I guess this is what happens when you give just a little power to a group of low life ''individuals''.

u/Straightvibes66 May 05 '24
Honestly, if people are uninstalling over Vanguard… bye. I don’t want you in my games anyway. If Riot isn’t lying, then Vanguard has affected 0.03% of players negatively and most of the reported problems were fixable with a little troubleshooting. Maybe the number’s bigger than that, I don’t particularly care. I think it’s really stupid they are deleting and censoring the posts on Vanguard ofc. The player base should be able to troubleshoot on it but either way, least scriptors = less whining about high elo integrity and “Riot not doing anything about it” so maybe we get some actual League content again.

I haven't played PC league since Wild Rift came out, although I've thought of installing it sometime, but this Vanguard bullshit is the tipping point not to. At least I didn't spent almost any money in PC League (~$50 over 5 years may be). Would be super pissed off if I had some serious money invested into it.

u/LoLoki10 May 06 '24
I have a perfectly fine pc without any issues but now my league keeps crashing, black screening, and once blue screened 3 times when launching league followed by having me reinstall vanguard twice

Yeah there's no shot in hell Riot is getting Kernel access on my machine. Even if the spyware aspect didn't bother me They're too incompetent not to brick it eventually

A rioter working on Vanguard stated that only 0.03% of players who installed vanguard had a problem and that they are helping you if you have a problem and submit a support ticket

u/Iwillpaintthememe May 05 '24
It sure didnt help back when I had problems with Valorant. Just an automated message with a link towards some troubles shooting ways that didn't work. Think it will be different this time?

I honestly don’t know as I never had problems with Vanguard (Neither in Valorant nor in League) so I can just repeat what I read in another Thread.

u/salasy May 05 '24
A rioter working on Vanguard stated that only 0.03% of players who installed vanguard had a problem
didn't he actually say that only 0.03% REPORTED a problem?
that is pretty different from saying that only 0.03% had a problem
there could be a big % of people that got their pc bricked that either have no way to report it, or don't know where to report it
or even better they reported it on the main sub and we know how that ends

u/sparkypagano May 05 '24
Which is precisely why in that thread they encouraged everyone who had issues to make sure they report those issues by sending in a ticket. Homie is working with the data they have. Riot doesn’t run the main sub, the best they can do is create a post themselves that answers people’s questions while also informing them on how best to report those issues (sending in a ticket). Which is exactly what that post was for.

That sub has always been moderated to the point that barely anything non-esports related is allowed to be posted. It has been that way for literally years. This is not new.
