@LadyAngeIique @unassociatedGr @fakerylertowe @furryschizo No cheaters love it because it doesn't work.
English
Riot would rather develop the most intrusive malware ever disguised as an anti cheat than moderate their games like every other company
English
@aeyriowo @NRosariea It's comp players. They are idiots when it comes to non game stuff.
English
@NRosariea yeah and i've seen so many people complain about the devs not listening to pro players and acting all entitled about it. like, the forums are there for that purpose. use the damn forums.

deadlock MIGHT just have THE most miserable competitive playerbase
Calculator@yungcalc
This deadlock patch is genuinely terrible and 90% of the good players have no line to the devs. the new Urn changes are horrible, game going in a terrible direction. The changes to Apollo riposte are also just obviously suggested by a literal initiate 5 player its so shit
English
@NekroMoth It's vanguard. That shit is dumb as bricks to the point it somtimes disables itself when your in the middle of a game.
English
Hey maybe address my other point that Vanguard should be smart enough to not lose it's shit over CE when it's not affecting the games it's meant for
Hoàng Tuấn Anh@HongTun66453995
@Viz_Senpai @NekroMoth @mrloic23 @wisplite @christian_coler @PastaLording @dreamwaterzoo I mean I use CE to f*ck around in older games like Total War Rome 2 all the time. But the fact is that i'm just smart enough to realize that I should close Vanguard first before even attempting to use a literal cheating software.
English
@SenouNatsuru52 @cs_arctic @Praexis He doesn't care. He's a bot or a shill and the other anti cheat only turn on when you open the game and close when your done
English
@cs_arctic @Praexis They are not the same. They run on game start, and end when the game does. Vanguard runs on fucking boot.
English
I have nothing but contempt for Riot, they’re the worst major dev by far.
They’re as bad as Blizzard in terms of workplace environment, have a game catalogue that is exclusively shitty knockoffs of actually good games, and have convinced people anti cheat this extreme is good.

Does Vanguard physically damage hardware? No. Does this impact hardware or software in any ways unrelated to Riot’s games? No. The IOMMU security protection does not impact hardware, and would only impact the ability of players using DMA cheat devices to play our games. Are normal players affected? Players not using DMA cheat hardware are unaffected. Why target DMA cheats? DMA-based cheats are among the most sophisticated forms of cheating because they attempt to bypass traditional software detection by accessing memory directly through external hardware. I’m affected by this. How do I fix it? To continue cheating in other titles with this device, you may simply disable IOMMU in BIOS in the same place that you enabled it. Of course, you still won’t be able to play our games with these cheat devices enabled. Why did Riot joke about “bricking” PCs? We didn’t. The “paperweight” comment was about VALORANT cheat devices that no longer work in VALORANT. No hardware is being damaged and no other functionalities are impacted.

@MizusPuddle "You agreed to the TOS, which clearly says we can murder you whenever we want! Should have read it closer before agreeing"
English
EULA and TOS are not legally binding in the way people think they are.
If it just prevents you from using it on the game, that is fine and likely legal.
If it is damaging the hardware or software in some way permanently, it is most definitely illegal.
Also it's been found that Vanguard is not turning off and remaining in effect while people try to do other things, preventing them from running other apps and games.
The idea of "it just effects the cheaters" is stupid and not an argument.
Jeremy@ManaByte
Let’s walk through how that courtroom drama plays out: Cheater: "Your Honor, Riot bricked my $6,000 PC!" Riot: "Actually, we just updated Vanguard to enforce standard Windows IOMMU security protocols. If they unplug the illegal hardware cheat device from their motherboard, the PC boots perfectly fine." Judge: "Wait, so your computer works, but your specialized cheating hardware doesn't?" Cheater: "Yes! It’s property damage!" Judge: [Bangs gavel so hard it breaks] "Case dismissed. Pay Riot's legal fees." You cannot sue a company because their security system successfully detected your exploit. Riot didn't destroy anything; they just rendered a cheating device useless for cheating. If you spent thousands of dollars on a DMA card just to click on heads in Valorant, your only legal recourse is to sue your parents for giving birth to someone so stupid.

@Ruschz1 @rocketslothluke I read several Destiny 2 players who explained that it's not really that they don't have it, it's that they updated the game's engine and by not saving the old version of the engine, it could only be played if the content is rewritten
English
Now that the game is done can I have my base-game and DLC content back that I paid for?
Destiny 2@DestinyTheGame
Read the full blog at bung.ie/d2_may_21_2026 For almost twelve years, we have had the joy and honor to explore the Destiny universe with you all. Through all the ups and downs, surprises and triumphs, building Destiny alongside our players has been a monumental privilege. While our love for Destiny 2 has not changed, it has become clear that after The Final Shape, we have reached the time for our shared worlds, and Destiny, to live beyond Destiny 2. As our focus turns towards a new beginning for Bungie, we will begin work incubating our next games. To that end, on June 9, 2026, we will release the final live-service content update for Destiny 2 to begin that new journey as a studio. Though active development may be concluding, we will ensure that Destiny 2 remains playable, just as the original Destiny is today. Many changes in this final update will aim to ensure that Destiny 2 is a welcoming place for players to return to. We’re proud of Destiny 2, the places it took us, and the legacy it has created. Because of you all, our universe is vast, built on years of shared stories, adventures, and victories. From the Cosmodrome to the Pale Heart to the Lawless Frontier, we have forged life-long memories and friendships with you all. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who made that journey with us. From the deepest part of our hearts, thank you, and we'll see you in the stars.

@MiiaTzu They're not going to risk making art for someone who is known to use ai because they don't want to risk it being used in the ai. You need to build trust.
English
I have used AI in thumbnails, yes. But I am trying to move toward using real commissioned art. That should be seen as supporting artists, not as a reason to blacklist me from commissioning them.

this can't be legal, right?
Cheating is obviously abhorrent, but destruction of property as an anti cheat is uhhh
yeah no I don't like this

@serg18t7 @GorgonsGrimoire @FTC If the ToS does something illegal (ie. Disabling your property that they dont own) make the contract null and void. They own the game not the firmware or OS.
English
@GorgonsGrimoire @FTC Wen u break ToS by cheating u got no legal leg to stand on. The cheater failed to comply not the company. This is just another cheater cryin
English
Hey @FTC I have a company here that thinks it's okay to run a modern day Sony/BMG rootkit to disable people's hardware they paid for.

@ProficFicus I don’t even think this was intentional, I think computers just decided to kill themselves when they were forced to run Valorant

You're proud of... Fucking making malware and advertising it as an anticheat??
I mean, it tracks with how shitty riot games is.

@paysinblood @pyaapyon It's probably going to happen because its vanguard.
English
@theDebt_ @GrimisS @eron_wolf @riotgames The only way to recover your pc is to completely reinstalling your operating system that is technically damaging your pc. Even if it is a temporary thing (it can do permanent damage) it's still deliberate damage to property they don't own.

Well, that escalated quickly.
There’s been a wave of claims by cheaters about Vanguard “bricking” their PCs, so let’s clear that up: Vanguard does not damage hardware or disable your devices.
The photo we posted is a picture of cheat hardware devices that are sold explicitly for cheating in VALORANT (not normal PCs or PC components). Through our latest updates, Vanguard now makes those devices worthless for VAL, but does not in any way brick PCs or PC components or PC software.
Our latest update enforces standard platform security features, like the Input-Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU), on accounts identified as using Direct Memory Access (DMA) cheating devices. These protections are already part of modern systems and when enabled, they block DMA cheat devices (such as those shown in the photo) from accessing memory in downstream applications, like our games.
If a cheat setup continues attempting to cheat after those protections are enabled, the system may generate hardware faults or instability. This is expected behavior under IOMMU when attempts are made to read protected memory.
Disabling IOMMU allows the cheat device to function again, but IOMMU will still be required to play our games. This means the cheat device won’t work with our games, but your PC isn’t “bricked.” We would not, and cannot, impact your PC’s functionality in any other fashion.
This functionality only applies to systems attempting to use DMA cheat devices, and players who are not using DMA-based cheat setups are not affected.
We’ll keep investing in anti-cheat to protect competitive integrity, and we’ll keep being as transparent as possible about how those systems work.
