Interestingly - I don’t think vanguard’s anti-cheat really requires a TPM yet? At least not on windows 10. I wonder why cheaters aren’t just sticking to windows 10?

Although I think they are doing other means of identifying hardware as well- and they are rolling out hardware-bans much more broadly in general I think.

I don’t think my main computer has a TPM, and vanguard has been at least somewhat “functional”. “Functional” only meaning that it lets me play. It has caused intermittent blue screens, which windows directly blames on Vanguard’s vgk.sys, and also it seems to kill some other driver every time I boot my PC. I’m really considering quitting League of Legends, but most of my close friends are still playing. I never noticed issues with cheaters at my skill level, and this anti cheat is so invasive, always running at startup.

Riot can claim it “doesn’t do anything unless you are in-game” but that’s not true at all. On boot every time it pops up basically saying “we killed some other service you had running. Hope that wasn’t important!” I have to reinstall and reboot any time I want to play their game now, because I’ve been uninstalling the anticheat each time I’m not playing.
