Valorant Anti-Cheat breaks cpu temps drivers and more..

[mikekir97]

Hello.. I have a problem with Vanguard (Anti-Cheat of Valorant) it just "breaks" all cpu temp driver sensors on my laptop.. Core Temp reports that the driver required to get the cpu temp info is not working when Vanguard is enabled even if the game is not running (at boot).. Also.. Ever since I installed it Every time i booted my laptop it kept trying to fix my C system drive.. a new 1TB Samsung 970 Evo Nvme.. Any one experienced anything like this..? any thoughts..? The solution i found for now after Riot support send me a generic response is to uninstall only the vanguard and install it only when i want to play the game.. then remove it again.. It is a pain but i need to know my temps more than i need to play this game.. good game for sure not the point though.. Also forgot to tell you earlier, i thing it might messed/reset my XTU undervolt.. but I can't be sure..

I've heard nothing but deplorable things about Valorant. Best fix is to delete everything to do with it and not support Riot and their garbage.

I do like and enjoy the game with friends.. It still in closed beta so bugs and problems are not uncommon.. but messing with cpu temps and my windows drive is not an expected anti-cheating behavior..:p

Valorant messes with your PC and even with RITO own LoL client.

I'd advise exactly the same thing suggested by @Statik.

It's obvious their experiments in beta go way beyond what normally happens at such stage. You want your PC be their test lab rat - don't listen to our advice.

Make sure that you quote or tag people if you want a reply.

 

And if you enjoy it enough to sacrifice the security and well being of your system, then by all means play it. I just know if a company was doing as shady shit as Rocket is, they can literally kiss my ass, and they sure as shit won't be getting my business.

What would you expect for a program that installs drivers at RING 0 which has higher priviliges that a administrator and should NEVER be done by any piece of software period.

 

Did this lot even learn from starforce which was DRM that also conducted these shennigans and worse.
