playing games with ring0 anticheat is ultimate bottom behavior

Valorant/Riot Vanguard can now take screenshots of your PC screen without you knowing

This is a big deal because Riot is launching Vanguard (the anti-cheat that does this) with League of Legends.

and somehow some of the details in this damage control post from Riot reads even more egregious to me:

like, the sheer audacity of requiring players to install TPM chips and manually change their BIOS settings to further support your malware is something else.
but hey, in their infinite grace, Riot is not requiring UEFI SecureBoot! ...unlike the Vanguard used in Valorant. welp.

@saden Doesn't seem like that big a deal to me considering people are already reporting their Windows installations are getting bricked so I wouldn't worry too much about the screenshots; just reinstall Windows and don't play LoL again.
