I’m considering Valorant, but I’m concerned about the anti-cheat system. It operates at the kernel level, which makes me hesitant. While it’s possible to turn it off while the game isn’t active, I’m not sure if that’s safe or comfortable. I’d like more details about how it works and what it does.
A Chinese company operating directly on your PC at the kernel level could pose risks. While it might not affect major companies like Riot or Tencent, gaining access to run at such a low level raises concerns for high-profile figures. For regular users, the main issue could be false positives. Vanguard often blocked my games in Afterburner because it suspected cheating, which is why I faced problems.
Yeah, I understand I might be overreacting, but running extra processes that aren't needed can feel a bit odd. Are Riot Games using Vanguard in all their titles? Also, is there still an issue with Afterburner since I rely on it for monitoring temperatures in games?
Sounds like the game is enjoyable, though I'm not sure about downloading it. Appreciate the details!
