Haha fuck that.
Glad I'm not part of that malware just to play some shitty game.
Fuck kernel AC and fuck companies trying to control what settings we use on our PCs to play games.
KLAC is the shittiest thing ever
Tech wise this is pretty interesting.
Other games roll with kernel mode anti-cheat, like Genshin Impact, Doom Eternal, and Call of Duty games, but in those cases the anti-cheat only runs when the game is running, and terminates when the game does. Now, finally, Riot will give League of Legends and Valorant players the same option—with some conditions.
Finally embracing a solved problem is pretty interesting?
Why are you bringing up examples of worse anti cheats that dont utilise anything remotely close to vanguards solution?
Sorry, didn't realize we we're here to fan girl our favorite rootkit, please enlighten me on how much better this one is.
The ones you listed are loaded later therefore they weren't able to establish a chain of trust and were easily bypassed even at a software level. This change is cool because its using a combination of advancements in hardware and kernel tech to give up that early load order. Windows has been trying to a long time to get a solid chain of trust and now its reliable enough that we're seeing vanguard skip the boot and feel confident enough in the windows chain of trust to verify that none of the drivers have been tampered. Its a better experience for the user, maybe we will see other anti cheats follow.
I've never installed vanguard and I never will. I dont run windows but I can appreciate tech without being a dogmatic spazmoid about it. If you read the article you'd know all this.
