Riot updates Valorant’s anti-cheat to give players “more visibility and control over it”
There's been quite a bit of chatter about Valorant's anti-cheat system, Vanguard, since the upcoming FPS game's launch in closed beta. Developer Riot Games has previously posted information about why it runs at system boot, and now the studio's let the community know about another upcoming update which is designed to "give you, the player, more visibility and control over it".
Senior software engineer in game security, Nemanja '0xNemi' Mulasmajic, has posted about upcoming Vanguard changes on the multiplayer game's subreddit, announcing: "While we normally don't plan on documenting changes to Vanguard [...] this new update to Vanguard adds a new visual component that will give you, the player, more visibility and control over it." This update adds a new system tray icon which displays while Vanguard's running, starting from today (following a reboot).
You can take a look at what this'll look like at Imgur here. Using this icon, the dev explains, "you'll be able to turn off Vanguard at any time." However, switching the anti-cheat off puts your PC into "an untrusted mode", which means you won't be able to load up Valorant until you've rebooted.
