The Vanguard anti-cheat has proved controversial at best, with the gaming community at large unhappy with its intrusive nature<\/a>, and reports of it inadvertently disabling drivers for peripherals<\/a> and even CPU fans.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Now there seems to be a wide-ranging issue that is causing players to be kicked out the game repeatedly and for no apparent reason.<\/p>\n

Players affected are reporting seeing a message that reads:<\/p>\n

“VANGUARD ANTI-CHEAT ERROR<\/p>\n

Vanguard Anti-Cheat has encountered an error. Please relaunch the client to restore anti-cheat function.”<\/p>\n

\nThis issue is just one in a number of problems that have plagued Riot’s new anti-cheat software (Picture: Riot Games)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The problem seems to be widespread with players reporting it across all regions. While the error is not followed by a ban and players can rejoin their current match some are finding they are kicked out time and time again.<\/p>\n

A thread in the Valorant subreddit<\/a> had over 250 comments in just an hour suggesting that the problem is affecting a substantial number of users.<\/p>\n
