Vanguard takes screenshots of your PC every time you play a game. Every time you play a game a function is called to screenshot your PC's screen, in case Vanguard thinks you might have something suspicious, it screenshots your ENTIRE PC screen (all monitors).

Edit: Not trying to spread false info this was shared to me via a friend and there is other data to back up that this is real https://www.unknowncheats.me/forum/anti-cheat-bypass/634974-vanguard-taking-screenshot-pc.html

Valorant, as of right now. I don’t think any other games use it.

League of Legends I think just started using it as well, breaking it's linux support.

Tbf it's a compounding issue. It breaks Linux support because Vanguard demands access Linux will never give it which is kernel level.

Didn't it just roll out to league of legends?

[–] cyrus@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 months ago

League of Legends recently adopted it.
