        Im still waiting on them deploying it. I have a windows installation that does not boot using uefi, and therefor can not run vanguard. So when they deploy it its finally bye bye league after 14 years haha

          Holly shit, after looking things up it’s even worse than I thought…

          Playing Valorant will need to enable TPM 2.0 and secure boot under windows 11 OS, you have to check that your motherboard is support TPM 2.0 system. (NOTE: If your system unable to support TPM2. 0, the only way that you can play Valorant is change your windows to older version as windows 10.)

          Damn, Riot effectively turning PC into console…

        I will never understand why so many people were just okay accepting all this invasive bullshit like Vanguard. There’s so many games I just can’t even consider because I refuse to implicitly tell game companies their unchecked behavior like this is acceptable.

        These are fucking video games; there is no goddamn reason a glorified toy should have root or kernel-level access. It’s wild to me the amount people who will accept anything, no questions asked.

        I’m sure Hell Divers is fun, but it ain’t worth it to me to find out.

            Cheating sucks but a- people are still cheating in these games, b- there are just as effective anti-cheat strategies that don’t require invasive access, c- cheating in a literal GAME is not enough of a real world issue to sacrifice real world privacy

      Yes, there are versions of WINE and Proton that are specific to running LoL, but it’s still somewhat of a headache to get running.

      Used to be able to before vanguard. When I used SolusOS as my main OS it used to run better than on windows… Apart from the client but that didn’t matter too much
