[QUOTE="Admin, post: 63198, member: 1"] Less than a week after Riot rolled out League of Legends' polarizing new anti-cheat software, the developer has publicly responded to claims of PCs being bricked by the program. Three days ago Riot rolled out a new anti-cheat software called Vanguard as part of League of Legends Patch 14.9. The developer wrote in the patch notes that the software would ensure that League of Legends' "queues are free from scripters, botters, and cheaters!" Unfortunately, some League of Legends players have reported that after the patch was installed, some users have turned to social media, particularly [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1cim2zr/lol_with_vanguard_is_bricking_peoples_pcs/']Reddit[/URL], claiming that their PC has been bricked as a result of the new anti-cheat software added to League of Legends. In [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1civ4l7/update_from_riot_on_vanguard/']a statement posted[/URL] on the League of Legends subreddit, a Riot Games spokesperson posted a lengthy update on the rollout of Vanguard in the game. This includes addressing the claims that Vanguard was bricking hardware. However, Riot claimed that it could not "confirm" any reports of Vanguard bricking people's PC gaming rigs. "At this point in time, we have not confirmed any instances of Vanguard bricking anyone's hardware, but we want to encourage anyone who's having issues to [URL='https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us']contact Player Support[/URL] so we can look into it and help out," Riot wrote. "We've individually resolved a few of the major threads you may have seen so far of users claiming this with their machines and have confirmed that Vanguard wasn't the cause of the issues they were facing." Riot also provided a few troubleshooting examples as to why people may have encountered issues, such as stating that some users may need to troubleshoot their hardware to fix the issue — specifically noting that some users may need to enable Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) and TPM 2.0 to circumvent the issue. One user on X/Twitter [URL='https://twitter.com/LSXYZ9/status/1785483391422570773']pointed out[/URL] that it managed to get their PC running again after enabling UEFI and TPM 2.0 on one PC, but the other computer "is still bricked." Riot is not the only company having issues rolling out anti-cheat software. Other notable examples this year include [URL='https://www.ign.com/videos/activisions-anti-cheat-tech-will-shut-your-game-down-if-you-turn-on-aim-assist-ign-daily-fix']Activision's anti-cheat software[/URL] shutting down a match in Call of Duty: Warzone if you enable aim assistance.
