TPM AND IOMMU ISSUE
hello after getting this error with tpm and iommu is needed
i do the steps and enable everything that is required
including ptt and vt-d
and then i get error "- an iommu restriction has been applied, however a system restart is required to complete initialization"
and while restarting i insta get a bsod with a message "- driver verifier dma violation" and cant boot into windows anymore 🙂 (fresh windows install)
i tried many actions including reinstalling vanguard (after bsod and iommu off since thats the only way i can boot into windows) reseting verifier in cmd installing fresh windows again, with chipset drivers,usb,gpu and i have the same issue.... it was never required and now i cant do anything... i go by instructions riot provides and i confirm that these security requirements are running but bsod happens every time that "an iommu restriction has been applied, however a system restart is required to complete initalization" happens, to be able to boot back into windows i need to disable iommu... and after that if iommu is on its just a loop of bsods , Z790 hero newest version of bios. (going by the meaning of the bsod i should have a driver that causes it but it doesn't make sense cause only drivers i install is my usb card and nvidia with chipset -.-)

have the exact same issue as well, same error even with VT-D on
also tried on stock bios settings
same issue..
I have other people that has the same issue, for some reason vanguard flags account/pc and requires those security options but even if you do enable them, dma violation bsod happens .. Before having vanguard and valorant i would boot with iommu enabled so the issue is caused by the game and vanguard , this is needs to get fixed ASAP
So if you delete vanguard and valorant, you don’t get dma bsod ?
It happens after the error

And before launching vanguard and valorant
I was fine with iommu on
I managed to boot with iommu on after.. but since i was fixing it while having it off (only way to boot) i unistalled usb drivers vanguard everything not default and i managed boot into windows with iommu on, but after playing for 2mins i got the error again and had the same bsod again :catfacepalm:

Hey guys ! I have tpm and iommu error and i enabled them but i still bsod also and for some reason my acc is flaged i cant launch the game with my acc . Anyone knows what should i do?
What bsod stop code do you get?
Drop your riot id
I tried it on 2 accs
One of them is wilofi#ttv
@junimo bsod after enabling IOMMU :val_SusgeNoted:
Also drop your latest bsod dump file
it should be in c:\windows\memory dmp or C: \windows\minidump
Other one is TWITCH WILOFI#lof1
What ðŸ˜
Im working atm i cant acces my pc i will when im home okay?
Yeah sure
Im also curious why would i get flagged on my accs? Like all i have is gpu drivers my asmedia usb drivers (external usb card) and my mic i keep my windows clean my apps are all portable and all for testing stability , i use my accounts only on one pc, i will provide every driver and sys file that is running if needed, but first bsod dumb file when i will be home.
also wondering the same, my games been working fine for the longest time and then all of a sudden i get van restriction. tried it on my alts (none of these are shared) and they all ended up with the same thing
There must be a vanguard detection issue that causes to flag accounts that shouldn't be flagged , even if somehow my asmedia usb card drivers or something else causes it to flag i shouldn't bsod just because i go by instructions riot provides, and i know for a fact that my system is running fine with all those security requirements before i launch vanguard and valorant.
First
2mins ago
so i booted into windows after i unistalled nvidia drivers
with iommu on so i think its nvidia/iommu/vanguard not working together
so i found out what is causing the issues its VANGUARD let me explain why, 1. Error happens>restart into bsod> i turn off iommu off> boot into windows >unistall nvidia drivers>i turn on iommu on>boot into windows again- everything works>i try to install nvidia drivers>voalia ! works nvidia and iommu on>i install vanguard again>i launch valorant> error happens and HERE WE GO WITH THE SAME BSOD and same error like before even tho i have iommu ON with other requirements. i double checked the sequence , this needs to be fixed @Rachel i hope it reaches right people since i wasted so much time for this. thank you. there is multiple people that i know has the same issue with the same bsod and error ,its not limited to one system.
I can confirm that I am suffering from the same issue as well, without Nvidia drivers I don't BSOD and I am able to get into the game as well

so we cant fix this shit error code
is that what u guys sayin
hmm this seems new, let me ask around
Hey, just wanted to say I am also experiencing the IOMMU restriction, however my PC won't allow me to enable IOMMU in my BIOS or else I get a BSOD upon boot up. Only way to boot up my computer normally is with it disabled, in which Valorant will give me a pop up mid game saying I need IOMMU enabled. Glad to know I'm not the only one experiencing this. I recently sent a ticket to Riot Support and they said that my restriction would expire in a month from now, but I'm uncertain if this means I will be able to play without IOMMU permanently. Just wanted to shed some light on the matter.
@Gamenwatch412 could you provide your riot id? and if possible go to c:\windows\memory.dmp or C: \windows\minidump and find the corresponding bsod dump and upload it for me?
Does the restriction really expire ?

For sure, I have two accounts:
Gamenwatch412#SHORK
Qilinwatch#7581
And I've attached my dump file as well. I've already tried interpreting it, and it's not so helpful in finding the root cause.
The Riot Support person who responded to me said so, I've attached what they told me.

Why is the restriction for i dont get it
Like in my main im chilling but in my alt im getting the error code after 2 min in a deathmatch
i don't get it
ok looked at the dump, in your case it's related to rtwlane601.sys, try disabling realtek wifi and see if it can help you boot with iommu
HVCI restriction is not new, that just requires enabling memory integrity
@junimo

after getting this error code i updated my bios
and now i just black screen and crash
why it does that ?
Oh my god, that did it. Just rebooted with IOMMU on. Thank you so much! I was going crazy over what was affecting my boot up for days. I really appreciate your help 🙂
@wilofi yo
do u have a custom OS?
whats ur winver
Can u help me i have the same case
Hey ItsGamerDoc, could you assist me as well when you have the time I also have the same issue as wilofi
I'm on Winver Win11 23H2 22631.5335
riotid
Hey gamerdoc can u assist me too?
can u just tag me in the tickets and not here.
both of you
Hello sorry for late response im in eu time, i have default iso that comes from Microsoft and its server 2022
Windows Server 2022 | Microsoft Evaluation Center
Windows Server 2022 introduces advanced multi-layer security, hybrid capabilities with Azure, and a flexible application platform.
can u use default ISO not server ones
unless you need it for your work then you can not play val on it as it is not supported
Is it gonna solve the issue? My friend was w11 with the same issue also
Thats why i didn't bother to change versions
Would you able to tell me what caused me getting flagged and asked for these requirements ?
I was gaming year or two on same system nothing really changed
for you no
your OS is just incompatible with our protection mechanisms
whats ur riotID again
I have 3 accs im really dedicated to the game🤣
I had error on those
wilofi#ttv
just one
sec lemme check
u could fix this easily
but lets talk in DMs
Okay
Guys do your error logs point to the Graphics? I thought my graphics card broke and changed one for that but the logs should just be caused by vanguard or something right?
You changed your gpu because of this bsod/error? Can we have a compensation for this man
Lol it’s okay for me but I think they should compensate whoever gets influenced, maybe with one-day discount in shop offers :val_Hampter:
Or just make sure to post a notice on the client next time when similar glitches occurs
They are not easy to spot and since there is many systems with different configurations it takes time.. but riot gun buddy would be great if you find something major that effects player base 😉😉
the fix is released did u guys still face the problem or all good here?
everything is fine , atleast for me.
There is still this problem, but like once every 2 hours
At least we can play normally for most of the time
When I dont do anything with the game opened for like 2-3 minutes the bsod and shut down still happens... but its much better in game
mine is still same issue
cant boot to windows
Seems like the issue for peoole who are flagged persist then.
Disable iommu and contact @ItsGamerDoc or create a ticket with explanation.
