Updated my bios…. pc blue screened, after multiple tries I was able to get it to start in safe mode and I see this. Now I keep getting error messages all protaining to some files in my system 32 being missing or corrupted. New bio is installed but can't reinstall windows. Gonna take out my ssd and wipe it using another pc and do a fresh install of Windows like its a new pc build. (I tried everything under the sun for about 7 hours yesterday to try and save it) Wish me luck

Never really liked how intrusive Vanguard was.
Good luck to you
Not a very impressive game
After learning vanguard was rolling out today, I promptly uninstalled league of legends client. As should everyone else.
That’s on you for installing that trash with a kernel-level anti-cheat.
Riot can suck a fat one, really. CCP-spyware installing, system files meddling clowns with jokes for games.
And no, I’m not a “hater”, I merely state facts. A Chinese-owned company that ships a product which asks for direct access to your OS and its files just to play it is so comically silly I bet nobody had it on their bingo cards before 2020.
And what’s making me reminisce about Idiocracy is the fact that people really are playing this game, signing up for an account, installing it on their main systems and granting access to their OS. Just to play a mediocre inbred offspring of CS:GO/2 and R6S.
It’s so stupid. Remember folks: there is no FREE in this terrible world of hours. Especially if it comes from the land of Winnie-the-Xi-Pooh. If the product is free – you are the product.
Try to uninstall whatever program gave you this spyware.
Kernel-level anticheat, also known as literal malware
Vanguard is terrible you touch one setting in your system and you get banned
Yup, this is what Ring 0 Anticheat (AKA a rootkit that you just let them install) does. There’s a reason why I don’t touch any games that use this kind of shit.
Are you using windows 11? Vanguard is not compatible with systems not using TPM 2.0 or legacy OS’s
You dont need to do a fresh install. If you can get into safe mode then you can uninstall vanguard from there and do a image restore to fix your windows. Once you boot into windows, reset windows. Or you can put your ssd into another pc and manually delete all riot garbage. Then do an image restore
Thank fuck riot added Vanguard to LoL now i can finally quit that POS addicting game. Holy shit that game is more addicting then gambling and you’re not even having real money at stake,just virtual points. I wasted way too many hours in that game and i can finally quit.
I sent riot 3 support tickets for this back in 2021 and 2022 and I quit Valorant because they can’t figure out a good EAC now it’s on league and damn well it’s gonna happen again. Insane play by riot
I mean wirh easy anticheat also being kernel I just gave up. Everyone else is collecting my data, and since tencent also investing in epic and reddit, let be honest they already spy on most of your life.
Cod would just ban you for cheating. At least riot gives you a chance
I’m always torn on this topic. Like I wish that cs2 was playable in matchmaking but also don’t want to install stuff like vanguard….I guess there’s no middle ground when it comes to anti-cheats…could be wrong tho.
Even with such intrusive methods people are still managing to cheat on a daily basis with DMA hardwares.
thank god I don’t have this riot malware
Having Vanguard installed and still being able to use your computer, even if only in safe mode, is more than can be expected. It’s the worst “anti cheat” I’ve ever stumbled upon. Not even good at doing what it’s supposed to, but it’s quite good at messing up your system.
Typically, Vanguard will block “vulnerable” drivers from being loaded that can be used by cheat makers to attempt to hide their cheats from the anti-cheat. It’s an endless cat and mouse game where players who just want to play the game end up in the crossfire.
Blame the cheat makers and people who make playing the game miserable by cheating for the need for this sort of stuff.
More problem for regula user than cheaters, get out of here!
You installed literal malware and surprised it corrupts your PC? lmao
I’m just glad i uninstalled this shit game before all of this happens, now i can grab popcorn and see the world burn
the best part is that vanguard has already been defeated.
Imagine needing to install literal malware just to play a mediocre shooter.
I uninstalled league as soon as I read that they implemented vanguard.
Its funny how people who play Valorant are just okay with it. They don’t care about their PC getting absolutely fucked or getting their data stolen to some databroker as long as they don’t get cheaters in their sweaty lobby. But then again, cheaters are also sucking that fat dong by installing root level premium cheats so as to feel better by cheating in an online game.
I’m reading a lot of stuff about Vanguard right now and it kind of makes me want to uninstall it from my PC.
Is there any way to completely remove it from my system? Is the built in installer enough to get rid of it, or should I do more?
Just don’t play the game. If enough people do that, it’ll force them to make changes to their intrusive malware.
Today it prompted me to update league. I held off, and boy am I glad I did. Lol now sits, albeit very temporarily, in my recycle bin, where it should have been since a long ago, before I clean it out.
