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. Permanently hardware-ban every component attached to that motherboard
3. Force-close the game and refuse to launch it until the user turns on basic Windows security features (IOMMU) to block their cheat cards
The following is not acceptable:
1. Letting pathetic losers inject hardware-level exploits into a competitive game because they are terrified of basic BIOS settings

@KovaJRA2K @Necrit94 6k is the hardware used for cheating which if the software is banned means it's useless for Valorant therefore a paperweight. You could still use it for other games and tasks but when it comes to Vanguard you wouldn't.

The "Bricking PCs" was literally made up and major media are reporting on it.
Riot's PR has to be ripping their hair out.

Love how info surrounding a Vanguard update went from "It stops DMA Hardware from communicating" to misinformation of "ItS bRIcKIng PEoPlEs cOmputErs"

@urlcami @mistercIeaner @BoogieJar1 @lulordeu @Kougeru @Peach_Fightr Hmm I understand that but isn't this still tampering with hardware through software? And what if it gets a false positive?

Riot casually gloating that they put a malware that can brick your PC if they feel like it
Riot Games@riotgames

@Rexamidalion @mistercIeaner @BoogieJar1 @lulordeu @Kougeru @Peach_Fightr lemme explain cause its quite simple DMA Card / firmware emulates ssd that reads more memory than what a real ssd should be reading and vgk is now looking for that you're real ssd is fine cause its not reading at a deeper level like the dma firmware

@mistercIeaner @BoogieJar1 @urlcami @lulordeu @Kougeru @Peach_Fightr Ok but what if I didn't cheat and I still get all my data deleted? You seriously think I'm trusting a fucking company to have my best interests at heart?
