@pukicho The backrooms are an enshittification of a surface level understanding of house of leaves. Also the ooh scary house is only half of the story and the horror of what is more a physcological horror than people seen to think.
oh why don't they just lose substantial amount of money LMAO valve is shooting themselve in the foot, they should just take an even greater loss! Lets not blame the AI Ram crisis, clearly valve is just trying to fail. LMAO
Well, that escalated quickly.
Thereโs been a wave of claims by cheaters about Vanguard โbrickingโ their PCs, so letโs clear that up: Vanguard does not damage hardware or disable your devices.
The photo we posted is a picture of cheat hardware devices that are sold explicitly for cheating in VALORANT (not normal PCs or PC components). Through our latest updates, Vanguard now makes those devices worthless for VAL, but does not in any way brick PCs or PC components or PC software.
Our latest update enforces standard platform security features, like the Input-Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU), on accounts identified as using Direct Memory Access (DMA) cheating devices. These protections are already part of modern systems and when enabled, they block DMA cheat devices (such as those shown in the photo) from accessing memory in downstream applications, like our games.
If a cheat setup continues attempting to cheat after those protections are enabled, the system may generate hardware faults or instability. This is expected behavior under IOMMU when attempts are made to read protected memory.
Disabling IOMMU allows the cheat device to function again, but IOMMU will still be required to play our games. This means the cheat device wonโt work with our games, but your PC isnโt โbricked.โ We would not, and cannot, impact your PCโs functionality in any other fashion.
This functionality only applies to systems attempting to use DMA cheat devices, and players who are not using DMA-based cheat setups are not affected.
Weโll keep investing in anti-cheat to protect competitive integrity, and weโll keep being as transparent as possible about how those systems work.
person who watched the matrix with their eyes closed:
literally why do people say this movie is about being trans no characters are even explicitly trans
Mixtape cannot be bad enough to warrant this kind of response. Mid noslgia-reliant media comes out all the time. it just seems like this one had the misfortune to get a good review, which means that gamersโข have declared it enemy number 1.
