hell yeah
bet its happeneing to random ppl
>>739368908This can't be legal
>>739369009this
>>739368908deserved for installing riot's spyware
Isn't Vanguard notoriously shit?>Still playing Valorant in 2026The only fun agent was Yoru and Gecko, but I cannot stomach playing comp
>>739369136thispeople were warnedcattle didn't listenpeople enjoy other gamescattle gets brickedlollmao
>>739369009Of course. And if they try and complain they'd just get heckled by the corporate dick suckers
>>739368908I smell a class action lawsuit coming.
>>739369086Everything is legal if you have a president willing to look the other way because you're a large corporation providing jerbs and campaign contributions
>>739369345From chinamen?
I turned my pc on today and a tooth fell out of my mouth riot literally stole my smile
>>739369356Xi Jinping doing a great job, what are talking about.
>even playing valorant Deserved for having shit taste
>>739368908>bricked for playing valor*nt deserved
>>739368908holy BASEDtotal CHEATER DEATHthe only thing that could top this is Riot buying cryptocurrency to hire hitmen to assassinate cheat developers. once cheat devs start ending up with bullets in their heads FPS games will finally be fixed.
>>739369086You underestimate how much power corporations have.
No one that actually cares about anti-cheat malware plays any of these games. >But then all online multiplayer games will start doing thisThen stop playing those games and live a principled gamer life free from them.
My standpoint is that Riot, as a corporate entity, is even shittier than cheaters so I hope they get sued into the ground over it. On the other hand, Riot is Chinese-owned, and the cheaters are Chinese, so this smacks more of family drama than anything.
>niggas really think chinese cheaters are going to try to sue riotLOLlmao even
>>739368908Please let it happen in the EU. I want Riot to get fucked by them.
>>739368908This is what gets the big lawsuits, they just handed some people their entire yearly budget with those statements.
>>739368908>BrickingI thought bricking means that it would destroy the hardware, not that a simple OS reinstall fixes it.
>>739368908They deserve it for playing a riot game, but this is definitely lawsuit-worthy. Imagine you have an app on your phone and there's a button in the settings that just says "don't press this" and you press it and it wipes your phone. You're stupid as fuck for pressing it, but no amount of legalese in a EULA is going to save the company who put the button there.This might fly in the US or China, but not the EU. I think the most likely to sue will be a frenchman, because they're terrible at games, have awful taste in games and actually have enough money to sue, unlike slavs.
>>739370071Gotta bait people that don't understand they can just reset the firmware
>>739369582From anyone that had a PC failure and had this game installed, class actions do not prove the small user details
Putting malware on your customers machines is bad enough but then lying about it who it affects is flat out unforgivable,Then they mock them too.I don't like cheating in multiplayer competition but bricking random people's machines is way beyond what is acceptable.
>>739368908>have to reinstall osYou monster.
Damn the chinese posters are seething
hahahahahaha
>>739368908See you in EU Parliament in a couple years with Stop Killing Games Hardware
>>739368908you're a faggot if you installed any game that requires vanguard anyway, still would be funny if the bugs fucked with riots servers in return though
>>739370376Purpose build cheating devices aren’t games hardware.
>>739368908how do the 1000 or so people who still play valorant feel about this?
If PC owners don’t like cheating they should just play on consoles. The freedom of PC means there will always be an infestation of cheaters.Using a keyboard on console isn’t cheating btw
>>739368908If you play anything with kernel level anti cheat you deserved to get your asshole gaped.
>>739368908GoodMaybe this way people will stop playing rito gayms trash
>>739369009always does. every single anticheat ever made has struck at least one person with a false positive, or they are pretending bugfix mods and framerate fixes are equivalent to cheats
>>739369582you can download the game, break your PC, and blame it on RIOT and the courts would side with youit would be up to RIOT to prove their software if incapable of this, a boomer judge would side with the consumer whose computer brokeshit nigga it doesn't even have to break, you can even say "i think my computer is slower, it must be broken, i need reparation's" and hire some Jew lawyer
>>739370481>play on cucksoles, where you have dedicated cheating devices and legal aimbots (aka aim assist)lol. lmao
imagine for a single second that a cheater would publicly go on record to tell everyone they cheat in video gamestheyd be walking down the street and one day get a hammer to the back of the head
and the dma niggas will find a way to not get detected again anyway
>Valorant>exclusively targeting tranniesI'm fine with this
>>739370578All those devices do is give you the controller aim assist while using a keyboard. It’s nowhere near as powerful as cheats you can get on PC for free
>>739370553Get on it, then.
>>739368908who the fuck heats its PC in fucking SUMMER?
>>739370578the worst cheating i've ever seen has been on PS4. like flat out "you can see their cheat UI on the killcam" cheatsonly PC game i've regularly encountered hackers on is nu battlefront 2
>>739368908Back in the day they would just ban you from using the game. Now they go to these fucked up levels of revenge. They didn't even pirate shit. Lmao. Straight up cunts.
>>739370793Using mouse and keyboard against controllers is the cheat.
I don't know what's more infuriating, shitty anticheat or people misusing the phrase bricking. If reinstalling w*ndows fixes it, your entire personal computer isn't actually bricked now is it?
>>739368908I don't play multiplayer games.
>>739370835Play counter strike 2 and you’ll see how bad it can get
>>739370578Someone post that webm of a streamer landing sick headshots, getting told "You're only playing like that cause you have the gamepad aim assist", switching to aiming without the assist, watching his aiming reticle soar into the stratosphere from the recoil he can't control, then silently switching back to aim assist.
>>739369513you're a good shabbos goy
>>739370975console cucks never recovered from webm related
>>739368908Devs definitely should not have that kind of control because they're all retarded and break things constantly
>>739368908>brick>all you have to do is reinstall the osThen it isnt bricked.
>>739368908the chinese making the cheats are smarter than the chinese developing vanguard
>>739369086Not even slightly but in the US you can't really compete. In Europe they'll get decimated in small claims court.
>>739370071Yeah but we live in the era of ragebait and anons of today are far too retarded to do even the slightest research or critical thought about something before seething at whatever slop OP presents.
>>739368908>game has working AC>somehow /v/ niggers want to tell me this is badjust don't cheat?
>>739369086it's not, it's destruction of property.the problem is that filing a lawsuit is expensive; it's usually more expensive than just replacing the device. that's just per-dollar, too, that's not taking in the opportunity cost of wasting hours of your life on this shit. also, if you're outside of the country where riot is it's more complicated and therefore even more expensive.if the cost of the lawsuit is more than the cost of replacing the device, most people won't bother. this is why class actions exist, but even then a class action of like 30 people isn't going to be worth it.with that said, if you fuck over enough random people, eventually you're going to run up against someone with both the means and the spite to sue you over it and additionally seek punitive damages, and the court will probably grant it in a case like this because deterring blatant and intentional lawlessness is what punitive damages are intended to do.
>>739368908What a fucking retarded response. They won't be able to cover their ass at all when it inevitability hits some false positive
>>739369915back to Revenge of Shinobi on genesis.
>>739371205high rank valorant is full of stealth cheaters
I don't think this is exactly what's happening. The way I understand it, their "anticheat" messes with other drivers and with uefi settings, which may cause your system to stop booting.
>>739371225>false positiveHow many "false positive" cases are there? It's like saying blacks don't commit more crimes than whites and blacks get prosecuted for no reason
>>739368908>Vanguard is owned by Valorant>Valorant is owned by Riot>Riot is owned by Tencent>Tencent is owned by ChinaNo more cheating. Game honestly. Be honourable.
Good, ASSFAGGOTS players deserve worse even
>>739369345I don't think the thirdies who got fucked by this even know what a class action lawsuit is
>>739371254Based, Shinobi>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Valorant
>>739371536this. its perfectly approved to treat white meth heads with complete disdain.
>>739370970I don't play shit games
>>739371072It’s not cheating since everyone on a console gets it
This is what happens when you faggots just blindly accept kernel level software
>>739369009And that's why people are upset by this. Stopping cheaters is one thing, but the idea that a video game company remotely shitcan your computer if they believe you're up to no good is terrifying to think about, especially so in this economy and with these hyperinflated computer part prices. Not to mention the "anti-cheat" in question has kernel-level access to your PC and sends Riot information about what data you have stored on it. It's even more invasive than EA Origin was back in the day, or Epic Game Store is right now.
>>739371475Said no Chinese person ever.
>>739371475based Xitotal CHEATER deathwesterners crying and complaining about "malware" because they're all using aimbots and wallhacks and recoil control scripts in all their favorite games and they don't want to be punished.
>>739369086Sorry but you agreed to the EULA and the TOS chud
>>739369086The cheaters willingly installed vanguard on their pcs. If you empty a bucket of water on your pc you can't sue your city's water utility over it.
>>739371723contracts don't supercede law
>>739371721white fragility
>>739371723Doesn't hold up in courts
>Doesn't brick anything>Only affects the DMA card>Fixed by a reinstall too>Only does anything if you have a DMA card trying to access Valorant's data by telling your OS what it's doing and flagging it as malicious >99.99% of this board would have to google to find any use for a DMA card other than cheating though even that may not be enough considering the first couple pages are all about cheatingGaben's bit about cheat developers using fearmongering to weaken ACs, when people started crying about VAC spying on them based on misinformation directly from cheat devs, rings more and more true.
>>739371072>Aim assist so strong it basically removes the need to compensate for recoil entirelyThis shit is egregious. It would be like if in a fighting game consoles did the entire rest of the combo automatically if you landed the first hit.
>>739371732us courts would look at whether it's reasonable to expect that agreeing to a shrinkwrap agreement in order to play a game could result in destruction of your property. they'd find that's not a reasonable expectation and they'd rule against riot. assuming any of this is actually real and not just nonsense, at least.
>>739371789>rings more and more true.the only people who cry about kernel anti cheat are cheaters.
>>739371703>all of a sudden, Vanguard/Valorant/Riot/Tencent isn't China
>>739370891Demonstrably untrue, kbm players are always crying about getting raped by controller chads.>b-b-but you have aim assist!You do too, it's in the options menu. You got raped.
>>739371789imagine that>Cheat versus trust is an ongoing cat-and-mouse game. New cheats are created all the time, detected, banned, and tweaked. This specific VAC test for this specific round of cheats was effective for 13 days, which is fairly typical. It is now no longer active as the cheat providers have worked around it by manipulating the DNS cache of their customers' client machines.
PC cucks constantly complain about cheaters in any multiplayer game but it a developer puts in a good anticheat they throw a tantrum
>>739371721These Chinese videogames got you in an ideological chokehold LMFAO.
>riot explicitly tells people they'll fuck your ass>press I AGREE to install the assfucker>WHY ARE THEY FUCKING MY ASS?Why can't people just stop playing Riotslop?
>>739371723Neither of those allow them to damage your computer. They can block you from accessing their services and for consolse that can mean hardware level changes. Not for PCs. If they have intentionally done something to fuck with computers normal functions beyond preventing cheating Riot is fucked.
>>739370553>sir did you have a cheat device installed>no>case dismissed
>>739371927>ask police to step up presence because there are too many thefts in the community>they respond with summary executions of anyone accused of theftwanting cheaters out of a game doesn't mean they want riot to be able to play judge jury and executioner with their expensive pc
>>739371959even if their agreements did say that those clauses would likely be stricken as illegal; shrinkwrap agreements are already legally fuzzy because consent in a contract must be informed and there's no reasonable expectation that your average person clicking agree on a EULA would expect their pc to be destroyed as a result
>OS reinstallthen they aren't bricked
>>739371721>create system to automatically exterminate anyone with melanination above a certain %>suntanned white people die>"lol based cuz uhhh fuck niggers lmao just dont go outside"
>>739371475I kneelA true pillar of the gaming community
Riot is being cheeky. Nobody is having their hardware destroyed, Vanguard is just forcing an OS reinstall if it detects you using these cheat devices in their games because of the way it requires your drives to be set up. Nothing is broken permanently, it's just a hassle to set everything up again without the drive configuration/cheat device, or without Vanguard (meaning you can't play Valorant anymore, which is what Riot wants). Is this enough for a class action lawsuit? Is a company inconveniencing you against your consent enough for Jewish burger lawyers to have a case?
>>739372178Heavy handed measures are necessary for cheaters. If you don’t have kernel level anti cheat it’s trivial to bypass it
>>739369009>cheaters find a way through anti cheat anyway>non-cheaters get randomly flagged and banned / brickedEvery single time. Exactly the same with DRM, it's always the regular customers that get affected. Devs should realize this retarded cat and mouse game should stop
>>739368908Good, let these cocksuckers suffer
Cumskins feels threatened by Riot Vanguard killing cheaters because they're the biggest cheaters on this planet.
>"bricking">can still function by reinstalling windows
>>739368908Pretty sure destroying someone's PC because he cheated in your video game isn't legal. You have the right to deny them access sure, not to counterhack lol.
Forcing an OS reinstall is still going way too farYou fuck with my data, you've crossed the lineI give your software some memory and some CPU cycles and you can do what you need to within those limits but if you go beyond that you are literally malware
>THE TERMS HEREIN STATE (((RIOT))) POSSESSES THE RIGHT TO DEACTIVATE THE ACCOUNTS OF MALICIOUS ACTORS>seems reasonable, press accept>mossad bomb detonates in your pc and kills your entire family>"umm technically mass murder and domestic terrorism is covered by "account deactivation" and any court of law will agree"
>>739371789>>739372534>Gaben's bit about cheat developers using fearmongering to weaken ACs rings more and more true.>Devs should realize this retarded cat and mouse game should stopI'm noticing...
>>739372534>Every single time. Exactly the same with DRM, it's always the regular customers that get affectedWhen did this happen? Like never?
>>739372525to some degree, but i think it's reasonable that a lot of people would feel this goes too far. i don't think most people care about cheaters having their pc nuked, legality notwithstanding, i think the bigger issue is people are uncomfortable with riot having this power to begin with in light of the possibility of a false positive detection.
>>739371660>the idea that a video game company remotely shitcan your computer if they believe you're up to no good is terrifying to think aboutIt's actually a felony in every US state and most EU nations. Distributing software that intentionally causes damage is factually illegal and has resulted in the closure of companies multiple times throughout history along with some very funny lawsuits against individuals.And no, putting something in a TOS does not override existing law. You cannot make illegal things legal by letting people know you are going to do it.I genuinely hope it's 100% success rate for detecting and hitting cheaters, though, and I hope they get as many as they can before they die to a class action lawsuit.
Just legalize doxxing of cheaters and then wait for mob justice to lynch them irl, easy.
>Bricking a device for cheating instead of preventing Valorant from being able to work on it instead
>>739372689noooo you can't do that anon they are HUMANS
Reminder: These threads are made and populated by seething chinamen upset their 5800 USD cheating device has become a paperweight
>>739372689unironically based
>mfw I didnt buy a 6k cheat machine
I miss when people on this board actually researched things and called OP and games journalists retarded faggots instead of blindly believing whatever is put in front of them. People on here have gotten so much dumber on average and yet far more conceited and certain of their intelligence.
>let corpo malware/spyware into your kernel to play gay version of CS>how could this happen to me
>>739372753>literally $5.8000 burger bucks to cheat in a gamethat's insane, what's the point of playing these games?
>fixed by reinstalling osSo it's not bricking anything at all
>>739371789>when people started crying about VAC spying on them based on misinformation directly from cheat devsVAC WAS spying on you though lmao it was sending hashed DNS entries back to valve
>>739368908>Uhm aaaaatually it was meant for cheatersIs that the latest riot cope?
>>739372842chinks bet on games and chinks cheat to win at them, just normal things
>>739368908oh no! not riot customers!
>>739372838>I miss when people on this board actually researched things and called OP and games journalists retarded faggotshas always been like 1 in 100, most people (/v/ included) aren't going to go out of their way to look shit up and will take things at face value
>>739368908>bricking>OS reinstallWhich one is it?
cheat developers have better DRM than denuvo does lmao, they could learn something from them
>>739372647ever heard of denuvo?
>Congrats on your 6k paperweightMore like congrats on your impending 6 mio lawsuit, good luck explaining why your company is entitled to bricking devices with functions you do not like.
>>739372753One of the most annoying parts of AC discussions on here is that people are so stupid they use the fact that these exist as proof that kernel ACs do nothing.
>>739373125You won't do shit.
>>739368908>>739372753>bricking>fixed by reinstalling the OSzoomtards being tech illiterate as usual>>739372838zoomtards can't do research, at best they would ask an AI read the first two words,drool like retards and then parrot whatever the algorithm said
>>739368908> chinese malware that makes your pc crash and take longer to boot> now it can even brick your pc if it confuses Why is Riot still a thing outside of Asia? only chinks play league and valorant
>>739369009It can't. Unless you specifically have a DMA card plugged in thar specifically modifies the memory of Valorant.exe then it can't be triggered.It's not a Valorant security feature, it's a Windows feature Valorant enables when in a match.
>>739373153I sure won't, I got neither the trash card nor the trash game afterall. But you can bet that shit is going to rebound legally quite hard.
>kernel level program has kernel level capabilitiesoh I'm surprised
>>739368908Hell fricking yeah slaaaaay corporation
>>739371475They also make and sell the cheating devices. They're just banning the current wave of cheating devices so they can sell you the newer and "improved" ones. Think about it.
>>739372848So you're saying it's ok if an anti-cheat going off forces you to reinstall your OS.
>>739373175The irony holy shit
>>739368908Valorant has to be the most astroturf'd tranny game of all time
>>739368908>needs reinstall>>>>>>>>>>bricking
>>739373539if you spend 5000 USD to cheat you deserve worse
>playing league past 2010Let it go
>>739368908Based
>>739369009i remember getting banned for cheating by punkbuster when playing 2142ive never fucking 3rd partied a PvP game in my life
>>739368908Based rito, just rope already cheater scum
Valvetrannies are seething hard because no one plays their dead game infested by cheating pajeets and peruvians.
>>739373462>sell problem>sell fix to the problem>sell problem againIs that now they're selling $359B worth of exports every year, with the amount going up 15-20% every year?
>multiplayer-tards who pay 6k for a glorified hardware cheatengine existAt this point, why not just buy an antfarm and torture some randoms in there?
>>739373057>has always been like 1 in 100Nah, it used to be a lot better on average. Not to say people couldn't be retarded but there's a clear difference to today where people here take absolutely everything at face value and don't even bother reading the thread to get further information. OP would also immediately get called a faggot and somebody would post an archive.org link instead of a direct link. It was a different time.There was a thread when people were still going on about Highguard where OP screencapped a dude shitposting on the steam forums making joke posts pretending to be a developer and the entire thread was genuinely raging about it and saying that's why the game failed. Even retards on steam immediately knew it was shitposting but the retards on here are special.
>>739373687valve derangement syndrome
Riot is completely destroying the colons of some of the biggest subhumans in online gamingAND IT'S EVERYTHING!!!!!
>But but, muh corporate overlords always get away scot free!Before any retard tries that spiel again, see >>739372676. There ARE lines that when crossed lead to ruin.
>NOOOO YOU CAN'T BAN THE CHEATERSanybody crying about kernel anti cheat is tranny, feel free to prove me wrong subhuman tranny.
>>739373870I encourage you to try, cheater-kun.
>>739373758>Riot not afraid of banning even big streamers if they try to cheat the systemunironically based, take a hard and good look at this Activision, they put integrity over money which you greed bastards would never do, most Warzone streamers cheat and you ain't doing shit about it
>>739373593What if you don't and the notoriously buggy and unstable shitstain known as vanguard doles out a false positive
>>739373875This, anyone who plays valorant is a tranny therefore valorant cheaters are also trannies.
>>739368908>>739369009i remember when vanguard first came out and fucked a bunch of pcs on valorant and riot easily got hushed it outand when they implemented on league their reddit was freaking out, every content creator was talking about it and they still managed to censored it allactually crazy that managed to work
>>739374016i'll let you know when it happens, zheng!
>>739372753Then why don't we see chink scribbles all over this site? You're full of shit.
Kernel anti-cheat does not even work, I play counter-strike 2 and all the cheaters use software that doesn't work from their computer, they openly discuss switching it on through the chat in-game, it is undetectable and you cannot stop it.I miss local area network, being able to host my own server, bring back cd-keys and get rid of this always online bullshit, at least I would have fun again playing with friends.>Valorant is different than cs 2One has lootboxes and the other doesn't, that is the main difference.
>>739374057Wrong strawman retard-kun. Riot is a chinese company.
>>739372689Just legalize doxxing of Riot H1Bs and then wait for mob justice to lynch them irl, easy.

>>739369009>>739368908>>739369086Vanguard didnt break people's PCs.It broke a machine thingy that costs $6000, that cheaters put on their PCs to make it easier to cheat.Stop reading and sharing fake news, that's how Trump got elected in the first place.
>>739374125Riot is owned by Tencent which is a chinese company.Tencent owns a lot of companies, like Grinding Gear, the people that made Path of Exile and several others.
>>739374104>all the cheaters use software that doesn't work from their computer, they openly discuss switching it on through the chat in-game, it is undetectable and you cannot stop itThat is literally what Riot just shut down. The thing actually being 'bricked' is the external card they're using.
>>739368908I forgot my email password my email is bricked how can this be legal
>>739374191Trump got elected because you're this retarded.
>riot gamesThey deserve to have their pc bricked alright.
>>739373875>>NOOOO YOU CAN'T BAN THE CHEATERSThey are not banning the cheaters, they expect a kernel anti cheat to do it for them but it's flawed, stops only the most surface level stuff and you will have your ass gaped and raped before a ban wave even happensYou will never get an actual manual moderation team.
>>739368908deservedbut not because of cheating but because you installed valorant and its rootkit in the first place
>>739369086When will you fucking learn, fucktards, the rich can do whatever the fuck they want with you and YOU WON'T DO SHIT
I just woke up and there are 3 threads up misusing the term "bricked"is this a psyop?
>>739374191Yeah, it's not even hard. It damages the FIRMWARE of the Heino 2, and the device it's linked up to for the Direct Memory Bypass. Boo fucking hoo, you have to reinstall Winblows and can't cheat anymore. Don't get me wrong, it IS still dangerous, but they're not literally bricking computers lmao.
>>739374257>stops only the most surface level stuffThey just stopped people who spent 5.8k on external hardware for the sole purpose of cheating.
>>739374316yes, it's just cheat manufacturers trying to influence the narrative away from 'riot BTFO people who spent 6 grand to cheat'
>>739374349>this one time targeted attack stopped this many retards!Yeah no shit idiot, you only had to wait how much fucking long until they decided to do it. And all the time in between you have to still deal with cheaters, it's a flawed system.
>>739374373makes sense. Scare the normgrouds enough with the brick word and they can keep using their fucking faggot cheats easier
I don't toss>ESLaround unironically but this time's a doozy!https://www.reddit.com/user/SkooooSkoooo/
>>739374191Dilate. You guys lost because people got tired of your sodomite bullshit and the Demons' deranged dreams of a communist dictatorship.And before you say "muh economy", the damage was all Biden and his puppeteer wife's fault, as those retards pissed away money like it was nothing, unaware that infinitely printing bills devalues their worth infinitely.>>739371723EULAs are invalidated by real laws. Remember that Disney tried to get away with killing a man's wife with a peanut allergy, because he had a Disney+ subscription that had "forced arbitration"? That shit didn't fly at all.

>>739374323>you have to reinstall Winblows>they're not literally bricking computers
>>739368908Riot actually doing something based for once.
>>739374427If people are spending 5.8k to cheat and still risk getting fucked then that sounds to me like the AC is doing a good job. But you're clearly one of those retards who cry that cheats exist at all in any capacity so it must not be doing anything.
>>739374532saar do the needful and opening the dictionaryrape you tomorrow
>>739368908Why cheat on a fucking multiplayer game?Are you THAT dumb?Git gud faggot
>>739368908>>739369009It's not their regular computer, it's dedicated cheater hardware. You're falling for cheat maker FUD. >there is no way that a million dollar industry would spend effort to attack anti cheating measures Yeah, think about that one.
>>739374373I'm really starting to think cheating discussions in general are incredibly astroturfed by cheat devs.
>>739374532Just don't play the game.
why is this a problem? players with 6k to spend can get their small boost in ranking, meanwhile I can enjoy the game at a normal pace. everybody wins.
>>739374316It's almost definitely chinks and jeets that're using them to boost. Seems to be one of the most common use cases.>>739374490Speaking of! GOOD MORNING SAAARGod, for as much as I hate Vanguard's access to my machine, it's worth it just for this shit.
>>739374265tpbp, not even a joke. Riot are scum for FAR more than Vanguard's retardations.
>>739374558Actual retard.
And then, for no reason at all
>false positive from the game flagging a recording software or steam overlay or something>pc brickedyeah nah lmao
>>739374490>immediately the UHM MY PC BRICKED FOR NO REASON I'M A GOOD BOYlol
>>739374629They absolutely are, the money in modern cheating is insane because of how heavily it intertwines with spot betting through crypto
>>739374694lol
Why do people cheat?This isn't like a case where you're winning money or in-game items? All winning does it allow you to gloat but what's the point in gloating about something you didn't really achieve yourself?
>>739374490>hello I am the father and he was not cheatingenergy
if you play vanguard then you deserve to get bricked (literally)
>>739371219>the problem is that filing a lawsuit is expensiveIf this device costs thousands of dollars it's richfags that are using it...
>>739368908I'm trying to play TFT and this shit gives me blue screen half the time
>>739368908Hello, class action lawsuit.
so when are the jeets riot hired to defend their sabotage actually going to look up the definition of bricked instead of mindlessly screeching that everyone else is misusing the term
>>739370071>>739370293>>739370168For normalfags, reinstalling an OS is some form of advanced magic that can only be understood by those who achieved a high level of arcane wizardry provided by reaching 30 while being virgins.
>>739371883Why do people go out of their way to use kbm on console?
>>739374761Normals want to wank, professionals want money, anyone else falls under "insane".
>>739374761>All winning does it allow you to gloat but what's the point in gloating about something you didn't really achieve yourself?They don't have the brainpower to recognize that fact, nor the capacity to do anything but care about the perceived standing it gives them to be at X rank. Same as it ever was.
>>739374846stop being Chinese, it's evil. and if I turn off the TV and unplug it, it's not bricked
>>739371789They have no right to damage your stuff. If they can truly detect someone is cheating just ban them. Or at most force a full game uninstall that cannot be cancelled as a troll like IWBTG sending you to the barbie store website if you played on easy.
>>739374912>Cheaters already trying to bargain for more leniencyclassic
>>739374765Grown-ass Portugese man hands typed those posts
>>739374761Some people become so raped by their environments in their situations they have to resort to this to regain some control over their lives even though it's a mental thing and not factual. It also just could be mindless and unrationalized desire to stomp everyone and not have to put in effort and time to gain the skill, and many people especially value their time outside of shitty treadmill games so maybe it's sort of rationalized in their brain.
>>739374896>if I turn off the TV and unplug it, it's not brickednobody claimed it was my mentally stunted shitskin friend
>>739370123nobody gives a shit about the eu lol
>>739371815>It would be like if in a fighting game consoles did the entire rest of the combo automatically if you landed the first hitSome of them do offer that level of easy mode including Tekken 8
>>739374884If I snapped her neck, she'd respawn. All Yordles are the same.
It isn't bricked if the OS can be reinstalled.
>>739373669punkbuster banned you if it didnt like the way you clicked the join server button
>>739368908can anyone of you retards even read, it says you can fix it with an OS reinstall, which means they'll just download the new firmware and cheat again, it didn't stop anything.
>>739374981kek of course he's a pedo too. what a cool guy. any moment now he will convince the masses that the Anticheat is evil and he dindunuffin>>739375013neither is a computer if it can be fixed with an OS reinstall you dumbass fucking nigger cheater
>>739375071ever heard of a soft brick?
Remember when Riot heavily downplayed how the AC bricked the PCs to the point they also paid reddit janitors to delete and ban the user who mentioned it? Even in the threads where they discussed how to troubleshoot the issue?
>>739374981he's right though
>>739374751I remember when Marvel Rivals came out there was a dude that just started randomly going on about how he downloaded a cheat program, saying that everybody else is cheating, going on about all the features, before posting a screencap of it with the name shown. For as much as this board cries about shilling, that was one of the few times I ever felt so blatantly fucking advertised to on here.
>>739368908If the PC can be repaired by simply reinstalling the OS then it's not bricked.
>Multiple pro-cheater threads popping upthe AIM community has arrived
>>739374785not necessarily, it's not always but often the case that poverty and poor spending habits are linked. lots of people are poor because the moment they get money they spend it on something stupid or because they borrow in unsustainable ways.
>>739375184Your bot keeps malfunctioning and mixing up shit dude. Get your money back from whoever sold it to you.
>>739375129holy fucking retard. ever heard of a soft rape ranjesh? the device is bricked or it's not. it's not soft bricked or half bricked or semi bricked just shut the absolute fuck up you dumb ESL subhuman cheater
>>739375135If it's anything like the other threadshttps://www.reddit.com/r/riotgames/comments/1tjfos4/vanguard_bricked_my_windows/It's retards trying to run damage control
>>739375070>Download new firmware>"Hey, nice rogue read, idiot">Firmware gets damaged again>Have to reinstall windows againYou can get your devices running again extremely easily, but it'll be useless to use in Riot's shit at least, for what that's worth. It's effectively targeting the entire method that Heino 2s use to get around VGK in the first place, if I'm reading all of this right.
>>739370123>Imagine you have an app on your phone and there's a button in the settings that just says "don't press this" and you press it and it wipes your phone. what i read about this implies that the way you get your PC hard wiped is if you go out of your way to install a very specific form of spoofing software that was specifically designed to combat vanguard's anticheatfor what its worth, whenever a company does a hefty banwave like this, online discussion boards are filled with asiatic screams and disinformation about how the bans were inaccurate, unfair or uncalled for. same happens in dota and CS all the time. the people who buy a separate PC so they can cheat in vidya are bound to be a very loud and mentally ill lot so don't expect them to act normal about it
Nintendo won. PCKeks lost.
>>739375264you're genuinely retarded nigger.
>>739368908What if it's also happening on non-cheaters too? Hmm?
>>739375357he's a lying cheater faggot. reinstalling your OS takes less than 10 minutes and doesn't risk data loss. And of course, you would only have to do so if your cheat card got detected by gay ass valorant of all games
>>739369086It's not, any good lawyer would gladly take this case as it's a slam dunk win for them.
>>739375402What if 4chan.org was called ClamDuBrettaNimNo.org?
>>739375393>dood I can't bootdamn that must be unfixable for zoomers and dumb cheaters. god forbid you have to spend 10 minutes fixing your system after deliberately installing cheat hardware
>>739375423SAAAR
>>739368908Pretty sure that's extremely illegal, specially if done at large scale.
>>739370835>only PC game i've regularly encountered hackers on is nu battlefront 2PC hackers tend to do "subtle" cheating where they pretend they are playing legit but have wallhack and maybe some subtle aim assist on. about 99% of them are still dogshit and actually end up losing 1v1s because they are so afraid of revealing their own cheat usage. like if you are a skilled player and you are 1v1ing around a corner, you're going to aim at where the enemy likely is and prefire a lot, but a hacker is going to deliberately avoid prefiring or aiming directly at the enemy through walls, so they lose
>>739375496calm down man I'm sorry your insane scare tactics are falling through. what's next, Vanguard sends a dick out of your computer to fuck your asshole and make you gay?
>>739375472learn to read and you won't have to humiliate yourself all the time by tripling down on your mental retardation
Anons please help please, I used to play lol and uninstalled it. Would a factory reset clean my PC of that vanguard bullshit? Please I will appreciate any info I am anxious about that shit spying on me and bricking my PC for no reason, I only have 1 PC and too poor to get another.Please don't joke and lie, I just want to know if a factory reset will save my pc
>>739368908>play retarded slop games>get computer brickedI don't really see a downside here
>>739369009>>739369009100%
>>739375402didn't happen to me so you're all guilty
>>739371475When I play Nightreign with randos and one of my teammates has cheated relics I check their steam profile after the run and nine times out of ten they're chinese
>>739375548you are so bad at arguing I hope you get hit by a bus on one of those excrement filled streets. I even stooped to the level of addressing your "soft brick" faggotry. fucking kill yourself NOW
>>739374761>what's the point in gloating about something you didn't really achieve yourself?I think they're just mentally underdeveloped. Like when I was a kid, I cheated in every game I played. SP ones, of course, but it was just a given for me. And then eventually when I was like 9 or 10 it started feeling like I was cheapening the experience and I realized it was making games less fun for me. I think the average cheater just never developed enough to have that feeling on top of never being taught sportsmanship and having lower empathy so they're able to do it in MP games as well.
This is malware in its purest form, regardless of intention.
>>739369009Whatever you say cheater ;)
>>739375553well do you have a $6k DMA card installed and are you trying to run valorant?
>>739375629look at a dictionary instead of sperging out and making up your own definitions. riot won't fuck you.
>>739373669Punkbuster was fucking horrendous, zoomies would 100% defend it today
>>739375553It should, I don't think it goes that low level. But who knows when "destroying OS" is on the table.
>>739375712I did. stop insisting you were right without expanding on your point. fucking subhuman cannot into discourse. just keep repeating it you double nigger
>>739375553No...it's terminal...
>>739372647PunkbusterSecuromJust to name a couple you underage nigger
>>739375751look up the definition of a brick.
>>739371475>dark skinned westerners in the thread suddenly start crying and pissing themselves over chinese destroying their computersLike clockwork
>>739372689People dox each other all the time on twitter and nobody ever gets punished for it so apparently on twitter you're just allowed to dox people.
>>739369136Unironically this, don't play Riot slop
>>739375806>im too short sighted to see the long term consequences of allowing thisIronic you’re calling others brown
>>739375402What if I pounded your ass? Hmm?
>>739374761"I'm winning and the people I'm beating are losing"Or they think it's funnyThey have knowledge or power that others don't, and regardless of how that was acquired, it allows them to feel superior by using it. Children are like that, and many never grow out of that stage.Get too many people like that in charge and you get big problems.
>>739370123It's highly illegal in the US too
>>739375019Okay? You can't just ignore a lawsuit.
>>739374761Because it's fun. This thread is so full of underaged faggots trying to be armchair psychologists holy shit.
>>739368908I don't even play riot garbage, but I'm sure this will be a reliable system with no false positives whatsoever, right? Right?
>>739376025the psychology of why someone would find it fun is exactly the part that is interesting. and everyone who has replied so far is right. it comes from emotional immaturity and a desire to feel empowered they cannot get in their real lives
>>739374527Why can't right wingers just be normal instead of talking like apocalyptic evangelists who desperately want to witness fire and brimstone?
>>739376076well it's detecting a specific card that costs thousands of dollars and would not be in a gaming PC for any other purpose. >but what if it's for something else!then it would be in a company enterprise machine and installing games at all would get you fired in a millisecond
>>739376169I want to witness fire and brimstone. The world is not right and I yearn for the destruction of the filth you faggot sodomites have piled up and made your god.
>>739368908>play game>get a false positive>computer is dead
>>739374191kek I'm out of the fucking loop, I guess, this shit exists?
>>739376105Lmao? How do you manage to type that out without feeling embarrassed?
I guess the cheating problem was rampant enough to warrant this. It's a very bad precedent to set, cuz it makes the game fucking dormant malware, but I personally don't play that shit, so let's see how well it goes lol.
>>739374761in the western world its primarily some cocktail of mental illness, laziness and sociopathy. they want to win and that's it. i think these people are more likely to ragehack or otherwise do it for attention or to troll everyone elsein other cultures it is a more cultural thing, like they don't always view the idea of just playing the game, being sporting about it and having fun as important. they're more likely to only obsess about the "you win" screen or whatever rank you might attain by winning lots. i theorize that they view installing cheats as almost the same as upgrading your PC or buying a better mouse, only it's arbitrarily against the rules. they play the game 100% seriously otherwise, might even be good team players and be serious tryhards, only they also cheat to get an extra edge. they don't feel bad about it either. many of them will play for hundreds or even thousands of hours with cheats enabled and never get caught because they know how to hide their cheats. it's kind of like compartmentalized sociopathyboth groups kinda do both things though
*me with a foot long Riot Games(tm) dildo up my ass so I can boot Valoshart*>what are you guys crying about LMAO the explosive charge in it only goes off if they detect you cheating!
>>739376274idk how can you say "cheating is fun" and not be embarrassed? I guess it's just 2 sides of the same coin
>>739376312We did it /v/, we finally reached a future that is even more humiliating than chugging Mountain Dew verification cans to keep playing
>>739376229That's nice. I want lower taxes and more affordable housing.
>cheating>playing a riot game>playing FUCKING Valorant in current year of 2026Well deserved.
>>739376317How is something being fun on the same level as doing mental gymnastics and desperately trying to paint people as having childhood trauma for doing something you don't like?
>>739376364Fascist ICE worshipping swine.
>>739376275It's basically just asking to be abused at some point. It's hilarious that it only affects Riotfags and the chinks that cheat, but it's still an awful precedent to set.
>>739376364Agreed.
>>739369086>>739369345>Your Honor, Riot games bricked my cheating card i used to inject third party code into their copyright protected game code and i wish to sue them!Go on, Zhiang, make us laugh.
>>739368908Why are zoomers so butthurt all the time?https://youtu.be/WdNUHQQnQ_Y
>>739368908>paperweight>just need to reinstall OSwhat a bunch of megalomaniac retards lmao. so desparate to prove to themselves forcing a kernel level anticheat wasn't a full retard move. I know I and a few frends dropped the game forever after they did it and I know we're not an exception; the data must be grim
>>739376415if 90+% of people disagree with you, it's not them doing the mental gymnastics. you're just a selfish cunt and that's fine, but be honest.
>>739374532If it was actually bricked you wouldn't even be able to reinstall anything.
>>739376572>the data must be grimThis just proved that people are spending nearly six grand to cheat in their game with external hardware and still getting banned. In what world is that grim for an AC?
>>739370835Twas GTA online on ps5 for meIt was literally some brazillian doing it as an ad for his paid hacks website, he was spamming the orbital cannon every 5 seconds while spamming text chat with the link
>>739376584Based rapechad. The entirety of India and Africa salute you.
So the only people crying about this are cheaters? How much a psychopath do you have to be to cheat get banned and then cry about getting banned?
>>739376757chinks see these things as a right. they spent money on the hacks, it's their right to use them. they are not mentally capable of thinking beyond that
>>739371072This is why i stopped playing Fortnite.
>>739376757Only my experience matters, you all are npcs in my world and should act accordingly.
>>739376857this is how much of a psychopath you need to be. asked and answered.
i can't believe there's so many cheating pedophiles here trying to hide their crimes.
>>739374307Bricking cheater's systems would be very based of the rich.
>>739371883Do any competitive shooter E-sport teams use controllers instead of keyboard + mouse?
>>739376947Most of them
>>739376947Fairly certain the rules in most pro tourneys everyone has to use the same hardware
>>739376947I think it depends on the game. Cod and Apex pros definitely lean towards controller.
>>739376947I know they do in Apex. Pro M/KB players have switched over in that game.
>>739369009absolutely
>>739368908>brick their pcs>can reinstall their OSFrom a site named pcgames that's not a very smart sentence.
>>739376795You either win or you lose, there is nothing beyond that, using every tool available to win is just common sense, as it is in the war.
>>739373265NO it wont because the first thing Riot will ask for is the cheat card receipt and then proceed to ass fuck the actual dev team.
>>739377082which ai model are you using.
>>739376572>just need to reinstall OSMost PC users now a days don't even know how to use a torrent so this could be very hard for them.

>>739377275>>739377294ok my bad then honestly based probably easier to install cheats on linux
>>739377327>nogreat argument damn. maybe it sounds even better in chinese
the fact that they are gloating about this and are posting about "making something a paperweight" is NOT GOOD FOR PR.especially when they aren't explaining what they did, please will just see it and think to themselves "probably best to avoid riot games"
>>739377382What a shame. I guess their current 2 billion people playerbase will have to do (now cheat free).
>>739377382it's not literally a paperweight. the firmware can be flashed and the device will work againthey mean paperweight in the sense that all these stupid nigs who bought it specifically to cheat in their game cannot do that now. so for their uses, it is a paperweight.
>>739377180It won't happen if you're not a cheater.
>>739377451>hahaha we bricked your shit! enjoy your $6000 trash heap bitch!(*)>(*) actually they didn't mean that (this community note is not yet displayed on the post)
>>739377369Whos gonna complain about your war crimes if their all dead and conquered?
>>739377504I mean if you were literate enough to get past the sensational headline you would have figured it out yourself
>>739377451Not much of a paperweight if it can be reinstalled then retard. At least try to make your allegiance to riot less obvious.
>>739377382lol fuck off you cheating scum
>>739368908Pretty sure this breaks all sorts of laws in multipul countries.
>>739377537>sensational headlinethat's what they tweeted out retard>n-no you need to read it with more nuancedon't care, that's what it says on first glance
>>739377541yeah that what I said. I have never played a riot game in my life. fuck cheaters.
>>739369009To be fair, anyone who installs and plays that Riot FPS (I forgot the name) agrees to the terms of service, which essentially give Riot free rein to do whatever they want with your PC.Bunch of clowns, players and Riot
>>739376947>>739377035its funny how apex was just completely taken over by the controller player cabal. they astroturfed the fuck out of every single discussion channel with the same talking points better than an intelligence agency
>>739377547hey bro can you upload your drive to the internet for me i just need to check something real quick. you're not a pedophile with something to hide right?
>>739371205>anti cheat>didn't stop cheaters until recently
>>739370793>All those devices do is give you the controller aim assist while using a keyboardWhy do you spout lies retard
>>739377443>now cheat free>nowlmao nope, it's just one kind of cheat they're gloating about. didn't they force the rootkit on everyone 2 years ago now anyway?
>>739377579>yeah I only read 6 words maximum what are you gonna do about it?laugh I guess
>>739372676>And no, putting something in a TOS does not override existing law. You cannot make illegal things legal by letting people know you are going to do it.But in American they can be transforming your computer into a brick and running away because America is dumb fat.
>>739377647It still doesn't stop cheaters. Only people who bought this specific brand of cheating tech.
>>739377678not my problem they only tweeted out 6 words, is it?
>>739377703no but you seem pretty worked up about the whole thing for only having read that much. if I was as impassioned as you I would want to read into it more
>>739377631most programs have full disk access you retardI hope you don't keep anything confidential on your computer without an encryption
>>739377369Do tell me how many warcrimes of winning side got paraded around after ww1 or 2, you can also mention how many commanding officers were executed on winning side for them too.
>>739374867Well yea where would I even start, would I need a USB?
>>739376138spotted the cheater scumbag
>>739377647It didn't stop cheaters that were paying literally thousands of dollars purely to make it harder to get caught and then it still got them. How is that not working if the cheaters are spending more than a top of the line system exclusively to cheat and still can't be confident they won't get banned?
>>739377857nah it's bricked you need to buy a new prebuilt
They bought hardware that is specifically designed to run cheats. They should know what a folder is.
why are gamers so easy to mislead
>>739371646Many modern titles throw console players and PC players into the same lobbies now, and mouse players don't get the auto-aim.But then a mouse usually gives you faster snaps so I don't sweat it too much.
>>739377802Making a program read any file anywhere is fine. It stops being fine the instant it starts messing with it, especially for nefarious purposes. "Destroy Operating System" counts as nefarious, even if the intention is good.
How is that even legal. So their game functions like malware?
>>739377940lowest literacy rates in recent historyand a pride that comes with it somehow. anti intellectualism is a crisis
>>739377702you can never fully stop cheating you fucking mongoloid just like your government can't stop illegal drug trafficking via mail post
>>739377802holy tech illiterate zoom zoom
>>739376260Yes it does.
>>739377987Yeah that's the point moron. All these increasingly intrusive anticheats don't do shit in the long run, it just makes everything worse for the people trying to play normally.
>>739377907But what if a normalfag gets a false positive?
>>739378086indeed we should remove all laws too because sometimes people are falsely arrested
>>739374191I don't care. That still sounds like it broke someones computer. I'll never play their game for all time now, or anything this company ever makes. Today it's just these guys. Tomorrow it's you for hurting someones feelings.No thanks.
>>739378143>today stealing cars is illegal tomorrow having a penis will be illegal!huh I finally understand the slippery slope fallacy.
>>739375423i don't think companies should have the ability to kill my os and force me to reinstall it.
>>739378140At least try to make your gotchas fit the context retard.
>>739368908Did you just not respond when told trans rights are human rights? Silence violence Your computer will asplode now and SWAT will be sent to your door and your entire hard drive has been emailed to the Fbi. Sorry not sorry. -Riot
>>739378086>Spend $5800 just to not get caught cheating in a video game>Anticheat still catches you>Go online and start crying that anticheats don't even accomplish anything and devs should just stop
>>739368908based, behead cheaters irl
>>739377025>apex prosPost the webm of the aim assist.
>>739377451most people will only see that vague tweet
>>739377615I think it should be genuinely illegal to have people read an entire TOS just to spot simple changes. Every single TOS is the fucking same until they're not, it's dishonest to expect someone who just wanted to play a videogame to have no recourse if they get fucked just because they prioritized using the product for its intended purpose instead of sitting down for an hour trying to dig up clues
>>739378209spend less time on reddit copying buzzwords you don't understand
>>739378269I don't think cheaters should have the ability to spoof hwid and ban evade in mere seconds. now you have to spend a couple minutes at least
>>739378365just hire an attorney to do it for you
>>739378280That's not what's happening here jeet-kun.
>>739378434yeah, it's "cheaters" now. much like how id verification to use vpns is to protect "children"
>>739378365>Every single TOS is the fucking sameNo they aren't
>>739378509well the difference is there is a very specific demographic purchasing expensive DMA cards and installing them into hobby gaming PCs. take a guess who they are
>>739368908SBBM was a mistake, back in the day you could just play an FPS, join and leave any match whenever you wanted to. Good luck cheating when literally no one plays against you.
>>739378503Nigga, there are screenshots of the cheat developers talking about it, shut up.
Pretty sure this makes the game malware but I didn't sign my pc away to those chink fags so I'm just observing.
>>739369086>This can't be legalIs not in Europe, you can´t brick anyones property no matter what you do, thats why Nintendo can´t do it here. At best they will block you from acessing the online shit. Same happens since 360 era, when at first was console bans, but then went to blocking access to the online..
>>739378365And they know that. Even so, I read most of the terms of service. Most of it is literally just boring copy-paste. But the more you read, the more you spot the key points and the less you end up using what they offer for free online.
>>739370376This should already be illegal in the EU.
>>739372676>die to a class action lawsuitthis has literally never happened to a single big corporation whatsoever
>>739371219>t's not, it's destruction of property.In some countries, we have someone that speaks on behalf of the consumer, they can fill it for you and cost you nothing.
>>739378726You've never read a TOS in your life, Chang.
>>739378660W-Woah h-how c-c people be *gasp* t-talking about something
>>739369009Yeah, if the headline was accurate and only hackers were getting bricked, Id say it was basedBut Riot is retarded so I can only assume the system is entirely flawed
>>739378810yeah maybe if you act gay while defending cheat devs people will suddenly trust that you are a totally innocent gamer and this is a bad thing
>>739378810lol, retard
>>739377087video games aren't war you absolute fucking retardvideo games are supposed to be funnow go be a contrarian somewhere else
>>739368908I don't play that shit but in this day and age of shit devs no telling how many false positives they fucked over
>dude it doesn't brick your pc you just have reinstall your osAnd how many people have their windows install media? If you bought a prebuilt you probably don't.
>>739378801Why project the image you have of yourself onto others? Ever since I opened my first bank account, I sat for an hour at the agency reading the contract. I said I read most of the TOS but not all of them, but I just don’t waste my time playing useless F2P games when I could be buying good games instead. Most game EULAs are the same across companies, which makes things easier.
>>739377491>Everything in life works 100% how they supposed toKek what a retard
>>739378876I'm not defending cheat devs you autistic sissy. I'm attacking you.
>>739379148yeah I'm sure people are installing dmas to their mobo but don't know how to install an OS
Intentionally shipping destructive software is a crimecheating at videogames isn't a crimethis isn't up for debate
The big picture is that people are condoning Riot's ability to fuck up computers at their discretion. Maybe one can rest easy if it was some reputable company, but this is Riot Games. Do you really want to put your faith in Riot?
>>739368908surely nothing bad will happen if you gave a program the ability to modify hardware designed to bypass conventional memory modifications
>>739379338And joe normie who gets falsely flagged and has no idea wtf a dma, mobo, or OS is?
>>739378993>bing bing wahoo man
>>739368908I can't imagine anyone who isn't a cheater is still playing Valorant, so now the game can finally die.
I mean, fuck cheaters but this is literally malware and I hope Riot gets their shit slapped in court.
Why would anyone play this over CS?
I like that anons bringing up how this shit is literally just malware don't get replied to. Fucking pussyass shills man.
>>739379378do something then lol
>>739380165just the sorry state of the world, they will cheer as they're grinded to feed the system
>>739380165>Why arent people taking the stale old bait anymore?Try some new material
>>739368908What the fuck, can they do that?
>>739380165if you stopped being anti-semetic for five minutes, we wouldn't have to dispatch shills to slide all the threads off the board
>>739380648>if you stopped being anti-semetic for five minutesI would literally die
>>739379378>cheating at videogames isn't a crimeShould be
>>739379802because this actually punishes cheaters
>>739379802I always wondered this too. Like it straight up is a lesser game. Want to throw a smoke grenade this round? Well tough shit, you are flashbang guy, so beg your retard teammates and hope one of them smokes what you need. At least I can just buy the fucking smoke in CS. And it has ragdolls.
>>739369136Me and my friend group stopped playing TFT completely because we didn't want this shit on our computers.
>>739378143>That still sounds like it broke someones computer.noooo it broke their cheating device and only slightly damaged their computer so it's okay that bigcorp broke their stuff
>>739379453Not even at their own discretion. Vanguard is rooted so deeply in your system's functions that any file corruption from a bad update can mess with or brick your OS. People have regularly brought up issues giving them BSODs or making other programs not work.
>>739381316>any file corruption from a bad update can mess with or brick your OS.yeah that's true with or without vanguard, tardo
>>739381370Not that's true especially WITH vanguard.
anyone complaining about this is a cheater, mkayy??thread closed
>>739381370Updating videogames generally doesn't brick your computer because most don't fuck with or cause your a dependency on its registry entry like in the pic
>>739381510well it's certainly interesting that EVERYONE is claiming to be false positives only, right? surely the people on unknowncheats are just innocent hobbyists wrongly banned
>>739381550yeah updating a game wouldn't do that with vanguard either, that makes no sense at all. it's looking for a DMA card, so if your OS update is fucked enough to trigger this somehow, you need to do a reinstall either way
>>739381673Vanguard messes with the registry so a bad install can do that.
>>739381510>make a vague tweet about turning $6000 into paperweight>people misinterpret it>"WOAH I DIDNT MEAN THAAAAT, FAKE INFO SURE DOES SPREAD FAST HUH!"
>>739369086some places dont have any human or consumer rights, like america and china for starters
>>739381316>play 2XKO>computer gets bricked1000% deserved lmao
>>739381726what the fuck are you doing in your registry that you think this is going to happen innocently
>>739381835Cheating.
>>739381835The guy in the pick uninstalled and removed vanguard aids from his registry in a routine cleanup and it bricked his OS. Pay attention. If vanguard updates and the update is borked for whatever reason it's going to be causing issues with all the dependencies it's creating
>went to regedit shit two days ago because I wanted SMB disabled>nigger on /v/ thinks registry editing is literally cheatingFascinating. You deserve whatever happens to you and your country, you are literally too stupid to live.
>>739368908Holy based. Fuck PC retards
>>739382031>"Pay attention and listen. A random redditor is talking."
>>739382031I uninstalled vanguard using REVO and removed all the registry entries with no issue whatsoever. I literally cannot fathom how someone fucks this up so badly that their OS is "bricked" (requires reinstall)((something I had to reinstall last year due to a Windows update fucking up))
It starts with cheating, then the UK Government gets ahold of this and bricks the device of anyone who does anything they dont like
>>739369356lol what jobs
At this point, so many PC FPS games are unplayable and i can't think of a single one where i don't expect at least one cheater per lobby.I no longer have the capacity to give a shit if anyone gets ruined by a false positive.
>>739376550wait he became a school shooter?
>>739382206Jobs directly to his sons through contracts they’re unqualified for of course
>>739377970I do because faster snaps don't mean shit.Dodging shots from a mouse user and a controller user is completely different and you never know what they're using. ADADAD against mkb and you're incredibly difficult to hit. Do it against a controller player and you're a free kill.The experience is so fundamentally different that combat becomes complete nonsense.
>>739373875It's like watching a middle schooler who just learned a new curse word. Trans derangement syndrome is a terrifying thing...
>>739369086It really can't. Cheating is not a crime in most jurisdictions, it's a EULA violation. Bricking PCs meanwhile is destruction of property, which IS a crime.
>>739373258>false postivies have never happened in the history of computing
>>739382564>defending corporations>sucking off tranniesyou don't belong on the internet, or irl for that matter
>>739382595>real positives never happened in the history of computing
>>739380773So you play shittiet game?
>>739382304yea u cant take shooters seriously at all anymore. even games that are more difficult to cheat in are fucked by certain nationalities smurfing or boosting each other like crazy, like the matchmaking systems just can't put together a decent match because no one is actually the rank they should befor me personally, i have just been doing sports and hobbies more. airsoft is kinda like playing a shooting game and i like tinkering with my guns
>>739382595What is the false positive going to do? What do you think is happening?
>>739371072zoomers genuinely can't tell streamers are hamming it up for their toddler brsins
There has to be a happy medium between destroying hardware and banning cheaters
>>739373258>DRM is securityleast disingenuous kikeps: any "memory integrity" features are fancy names for DRM. as the admin, you have a god-given right to modify any memory addresses and meddle with any processes. anyone who tells you otherwise is a jewish kike worshipper
>>739368908Awesome.Fuck all cheaters, eat shit and die retards.I hope Denuvo makes the most intrusive kernel level access anti-cheat software possible and FromSoftware adds it to their future games.FromSoftware should add Vanguard to their future games.EAT SHIT CHEATERS, EAT SHIT CHINESE/RUSSIANS.
>>739382687Yes, its called stop playing shit games.
>>739371072use a 'roller if it's so much better then
>>739382687well the hardware is fine so I think they did it
>>739382627>defending corporationsI have hated Riot Games for longer than you've lived and the only penis I suck is my own. Stop eating lead paint, it's rotting your brain.
>>739382727Seriously, PC faggots are always crying about something. Just use a controller or turn off crossplay and stop being a whiny bitch, have fun playing against cheating Brazilians and Russians
>>739382705I agree, you're 100% right. And if you abuse your right to do that in order to cheat and ruin the experience for other players, you should, I don't know, get your feet dipped in acid or something.
>>739368908Riot has always been primarily a malware distributor
if you play shitty games like this you kinda deserve it anyway; don't care + dilate
>>739382727Why would I want to use a less fun and worse feeling controller that gives me less actual input just because it plays the game for me? I'd have to be some soulless mutt that only cares about seeing a victory screen rather than fun and earning my wins. I'd rather just not play the game at all.
>>739368908Well if it is only cheaters they deserve it. I doubt it's only them tho.
>>739382727unironically some players use tools like rewasd to pass kbm as a controller and gain access to aim assist, gaining the best of both worlds. pc players always win, peasant
>>739368908bricking means making the hardware unusable to the point of its only use would be a fancy paperweight.if you can do ANYTHING to restore it its not bricked.we need to start hanging normalfags.
>>739382959get ready because the chinks are going to keep spamming this narrative for a whole weekthey forgot their email password and now their emails are bricked
>>739381510notice that both this faggot and riot account say anyone complaining about it is a cheater
>>739382849>playing matchmaking slop>playing games with centralized serversyou deserve it
I've never heard of a false ban in any game and the chinks make is sound like 9/10 people who are banned are false positives. really gets my noggin joggin. surely they have no motive to lie.
>>739383048valorant seems gay as shit but i get a lot of joy from them making people's $6k cheating devices completely useless lol
>>739382959>bricking means making the hardware unusable to the point of its only use would be a fancy paperweight.RIOT SAID THIS. RIOT SAID ITS PAPERWEIGHT.
>>739383298saar it is paperweight for cheating in valoyou can flash the firmware and use it to cheat in other shit games
>>739383332I don't fault normalfags for not knowing, because they just tweeted>ENJOY YOUR $6000 PAPERWEIGHT!with no context
>>739383059It doesn't have to be matchmaking for cheating to be possible.Really just don't be a nigger.
>>739383458yeah I know. everyone is an illiterate normalfag with ADHD.
Unless you're cheating to win actual money spending thousands of extra dollars to have an aimbot or wallhacks or whatever seems like something only the world's biggest douchbags would even considerThe level of mental illness in those types must really be something else. Pathetic shit.
>>739369009100%.>>739369086It's not.
>>739383048every complaining about it IS a cheater
>>739368908brownoids saying they'll sue riot is the funniest part of this LMAO
>>739383571>The level of mental illness in those types must really be something elseKeep that in mind too when you see people talking about cheating and remember how much a single schizo can fuck up discussions on here.
>>739377679So true, saar.
If you paid like 6000 dolllars just to be good at a game, you deserve your pc to be bricked ngl
>>739370793>it's only minor cheats>not big cheatsits still cheats my dude
>>739378830I take back what I said. This game deserves to be destroyed by cheaters if it looks like that.
>>739382670>haha ya dude, it was just a jokeshut up grandpa
>>739382764shill
AIEEEEE SAVE ME MICROSOFT
nobody herre even fucking understands what bricking means, only thing that is bricked cis my fat white horse cock when i see high-school girl, preferably ~14.5 and this jeeted fucking internet fuck this nigger life www is more dead than ever before fuck nigger retard shitskin www to death
>>739372647StarForce you fucking retarded nigger
>>739371149>Pay large fine to government>Government spends it to import third worlders
How would I prevent Vaguard from installing on my PC? I want blacklist it in my antivirus or revoke driver certificate in Windows or something so that I don't accidentally install it. I don't give a shit if it breaks games, I don't need games that install malware
>>739376671Anon stated that it affected the external component only.
>>739385702Are you retarded or something? How are you gonna accidentally install it? Jesus Christ, we need to go back to when people like you couldn't even access the internet.
>>739378830classic
