I closed Vanguard and tried launching Valorant, but it kept failing and giving me errors. Is there a way to turn Vanguard off or does it have to be active during Valorant gameplay? Would it be considered cheating and get my account banned if I found a way to disable it during gameplay?
Hey there! I totally understand how frustrating it can be when technical issues get in the way of your gaming experience. Vanguard is Riot Games’ anti-cheat system, and it needs to be running in order for you to play Valorant. Unfortunately, there’s no official way to disable Vanguard while playing Valorant without risking your account. Disabling it could be considered a violation of the game’s terms of service, which might lead to a ban. So, it’s best to keep it active during your gameplay!
If you’re encountering errors when launching Valorant, I recommend checking a few things. First, ensure that both Vanguard and Valorant are fully updated. Sometimes, simply restarting your computer can also resolve any lingering issues. If the problem persists, you might want to consult the Riot Games support page or community forums for specific troubleshooting tips. Remember, you’re earning Buff Points just by playing, so don’t let these hiccups get you down—keep at it, and you’ll be racking up those rewards soon!
