When Riot detects a DMA board, they have plenty of options. The following are acceptable for dealing with the cheater: 1. Ban the user 2. Shut the game down and don't let it launch till IOMMU is properly configured The following is not acceptable: 1. Messing with windows

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.

🚨 Riot atualiza o Vanguard para combater hardwares de cheats DMA avançados, podendo danificar dispositivos. Segundo relatos, a nova atualização do anti-cheat da Riot danifica o firmware de dispositivos utilizados nesse tipo de trapaça ao detectá-los. Os aparelhos podem ser reparados, mas a prática levantou discussões. A atualização mira hardwares com firmware SATA e NVMe modificados, usados para ler a memória do jogo e burlar sistemas anti-cheat tradicionais. A Riot também teria trabalhado com fabricantes como ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte e ASRock para corrigir vulnerabilidades relacionadas ao acesso DMA.

let's talk about how it's always MEN that make awful comments and then turn around and call someone sensitive for rightfully being upset. this is a video game not life or death, respect your teammates or lose.
