Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):The Riot Vanguard anti-cheat system used in Valorant is “trolling” hackers. It recently received an update that blocks many hardware cheating devices. These devices connect through SATA and NVMe drives to bypass anti-cheat detection. The update can completely lock some of these devices, and many users say the only way to fix the problem is by reinstalling Windows. Cheaters are also seeing a red ban screen that moves across the display and sometimes causes visual glitches. I don't like cheaters, but if they are bricking PCs, it is illegal.
