Addressing Concerns Amidst Growing Popularity
Riot Acknowledges Concerns, Explains Impact on Virtualization-Based Security
Riot Games has addressed growing concerns about its custom game security software, Vanguard, and its potential impact on third-party applications. In a recent announcement, the developer acknowledged the concerns and provided an explanation of how Vanguard interacts with Virtualization-based security (VBS) settings on Windows 10.
According to Riot, Vanguard is designed to uphold the highest levels of competitive integrity for its games, including Valorant, a popular 5v5 character-based tactical FPS. To achieve this, Vanguard utilizes a number of advanced security measures, including VBS. However, this technology can sometimes interfere with certain third-party applications.
