The claims⁠, which were mainly shared on X (formerly Twitter) but also popped up across Reddit and Facebook, range from Vanguard preventing startup programs from firing correctly to other programs crashing when the anti-cheat software loads, and some have even suggested Riot's kernel program has been “tampering with unrelated files.” Others simply dubbed it “malware” and declared they would be quitting League until the program stopped breaking PCs.

One high-profile example came from famed League creator LS, who reported both his computers breaking after Vanguard was installed on May 1. He said he fixed one by taking out the CMOS battery and forcing BIOS access, but suggested his other computer is “still bricked.”

Several user posts on the purported Vanguard issues have also been shared to the main League subreddit but they have since been deleted.

While Riot has yet to address any of the early backlash directly, tech staff have been active in the “Patch 14.9 Bug Megathread” on /r/LeagueOfLegends. One Riot reply suggested some of today's alleged issues “wouldn't be related to Vanguard” and offered up a simpler solution⁠—restart impacted devices and run PC troubleshooting.

The same Riot staffer also suggested any aggrieved players could upload Riot Vanguard logs to the League support page to help “isolate what the issue is.” All the Reddit comments from that Rioter have since been removed.

Just 20 years to late

So I have a regular jailbroken ps4 and a ps4 pro on latest firmware and guess what somy downgraded the console I cant even enter psn store it gives me a timeout error and when I somehow manage to enter the psn store the loadings are forever and every where signs to upgrade to ps5

So people thought in the past update of consoles will ad new features but reality is butt s*x and most updates just kill some features and late updates make the console slower to force you buy the newest one. Its kegig brutal how my ps4 on 9.0 version is faster than ps4 pro on 11.1

I am thrilled to finally announce that I have made 15 new #pixelpaintings for @Minecraft This has been in the works for quite a while. Thank you Mojang and @JasperBoerstra for a fun collaboration!#pixelart #minecraft pic.twitter.com/fZ1b3oQ4C8

3 minutes of Lo Wang staring at the green-haired potty girl in Master Leep's Temple. I crouched to ensure Lo Wang doesn't use chopsticks, and I didn't speak to her or hit her so she doesn't shoot back at me.

I also had my weapon holstered and my status bar and crosshairs removed so all I can see is the girl. I didn't even move.

Out of all the girls in Shadow Warrior, the green-haired potty girl was my favorite to stare at.

Some zoomer praising the game. It is a very interesting piece of media, I wouldn't really consider it a "game" due to it being point and click more of an actual art project tbh. !besties
