While having a kernel-level mechanism is definitely a plus, anti-cheat analyst GamerDoc says it\u2019s the \"bleeding edge\" that makes Vanguard the absolute best. Quoting a tweet from content creator Myth that hailed VALORANT\u2019s anti-cheat as \u201cone of the biggest success stories in gaming when it comes to combating cheaters,\u201d GamerDoc detailed why Vanguard operating at kernel level doesn\u2019t make it as much of a success as the team of very dedicated engineers who \u201care pushing the envelope in this space by building technology that puts us at the bleeding edge\u201d does. \u201cAny company can develop a kernel driver. EAC, Battleye, and Ricochet all have kernel drivers,\u201d GamerDoc said, indicating that none of these anti-cheat tools are as good as Vanguard.\u00a0 \u201cJust because you operate at the kernel level does not mean that you automatically win the fight. That's where the fight starts,\" GamerDoc said, talking about where the actual responsibility of a successful anti-cheat program begins. \"It's a level playing field against cheat developers.\u201d They also addressed players who \u201care scared to install a kernel driver\u201d because of its intrusive nature, explaining the fear is apparently for nothing.\u00a0 In fact, \u201cthe data they fear of being taken and sold\u201d can be accessed at the user level as well, without the need for admin access, according to GamerDoc. So you might as well trust a reliable video game developer like Riot and have a kernel-level driver installed to avoid VALORANT cheats. GamerDoc also highlighted it\u2019s not just Riot\u2019s engineers, but the \u201coperations teams, data team, and many others on the team\u201d are also dedicated to developing new ways to combat cheaters in VALORANT. \u201cNo anti-cheat is going to be 100% effective in getting rid of everything, but it should be enough to ensure that players\u2019 matches do not get ruined,\u201d they wrote.\u00a0\u00a0 There is a lot of uncertainty regarding Riot Vanguard\u2019s reliability when it comes to our data safety, and such doubts have driven players to uninstall VALORANT for good as well. But as GamerDoc reiterated, there\u2019s usually no harm in confiding in a reliable kernel-level service to keep the integrity of your experience intact.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/valorantcrew.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1080375"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1080375"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1080375\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1080386,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1080375\/revisions\/1080386"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/944467"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1080375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1080375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1080375"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1080375"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1080375"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1080375"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1080375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
