![]() ![]() Any cheat detection scans will be run by the non-driver component only when the game is running. The Vanguard driver does not collect or send any information about your computer back to us. We’re also following a least-privilege approach to the driver where the driver component does as little as possible preferring to let the non-driver component do the majority of work (also the non-driver component doesn’t run unless the game is running). We’ve had multiple external security research teams review it for flaws (we don’t want to accidentally decrease the security of the computer like other anti-cheat drivers have done in the past). ![]() We’ve tried to be very careful with the security of the driver. This is good for stopping cheaters because a common way to bypass anti-cheat systems is to load cheats before the anti-cheat system starts and either modify system components to contain the cheat or to have the cheat tamper with the anti-cheat system as it loads. Vanguard doesn’t consider the computer trusted unless the Vanguard driver is loaded at system startup (this part is less common for anti-cheat systems). “Vanguard contains a driver component called vgk.sys (similar to other anti-cheat systems), it’s the reason why a reboot is required after installing. “Yes we run a driver at system startup, it doesn’t scan anything (unless the game is running), it’s designed to take up as few system resources as possible and it doesn’t communicate to our servers,” says Chamberlain. Paul Chamberlain of Riot Games – known as RiotArkem on Reddit (via IGN) – admits that the anti-cheat software starts as soon as you turn on your PC, but categorically states that it does not collect or send any data from your computer. ![]()
