False vanguard ban
🛡️Vanguard Issue
so basically i got permanently banned on valorant recently and i'm trying to figure out what could have triggered vanguard because i genuinely never used cheats or anything related to the game.
i’m currently studying in a computer engineering school, so i do a lot of programming on my pc, especially low-level stuff. because of that i usually have a lot of development tools, debuggers, and compiled programs on my system from different projects i'm working on.
while going through my files trying to understand if something could look suspicious to an anti-cheat, i realized that one of the projects i worked on recently is an ocr program written mostly in assembly. i was experimenting with image processing and character recognition at a very low level.
since it's assembly and interacts pretty close to the system, i'm wondering if something like that could potentially look suspicious to vanguard. the problem though is that i'm almost certain i never actually had it running while playing valorant, which is why i'm still really confused about what could have caused the ban.
i contacted riot support to ask if they could tell me what program or file triggered the detection, but they just replied saying that cheating was confirmed and that the penalty would remain, without giving any technical details, and they closed the ticket.
honestly what feels really unfair to me is getting permanently banned without being given absolutely any details about what supposedly triggered it. i record most of my gameplay as well, so if there’s anything in those recordings that could help prove that i wasn’t cheating, i’d really like to know if that could actually help in getting the ban reviewed or lifted.
so right now i'm just trying to understand what might have happened. this ocr project is basically the only thing i found on my pc that i could imagine looking weird to an anti-cheat, but i honestly still have no idea if that's actually related or not.
