@thelastg0y@Ozzny_CS2 If you’re able, download and watch the demo without xray, it’s hard to fully appreciate how fast the players react because we subconsciously are expecting the peeks being able to see X-ray
I’ve been saying it since last year Liquid rebuild your cs roster hooooooly shit you are a legacy cs institution and got absolutely pounded by flyquest, it’s time to pull a cloud9
every summer game fest announcement is geoff keighly saying "guys, this is a long awaited game from a highly acclaimed studio" and then it's just the worst game you would never play
stop acting like every game you're announcing is a new half life game or elder scrolls 6
So, with souvenir packages from majors gone, how are these skins acquired now?
I think Valve has been holding off the Armory update because they might intend on adding map collections to the armory. We’ll see.
@slimeballx9@I_am_jerm Because on April 22nd (over a month ago now) they added “Last chance to claim this offer” on two of the collections in the armory, and in the past when they’ve done that, it’s usually a 2-3 week period before they’re gone. But as I said, it’s now been over a month.
@Grimdoomer People with 0 hardware knowledge saw a picture of things that vaguely resembled graphics cards and somehow jumped to the conclusion that Riot are bricking entire PCs if they detect cheats, when they aren't even bricking the DMA cards lmfao
Well, that escalated quickly.
There’s been a wave of claims by cheaters about Vanguard “bricking” their PCs, so let’s 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 won’t work with our games, but your PC isn’t “bricked.” We would not, and cannot, impact your PC’s 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.
We’ll keep investing in anti-cheat to protect competitive integrity, and we’ll keep being as transparent as possible about how those systems work.
