This is League Of Legends running with wine on fedora. I thought Vanguard will only run on windows?

    Even if it did work, why would you do it? You’d still be playing League of Legends.

      I played the game for years over decade ago. It was fun with friends, but ultimately turned to absolute cesspool over years. Don’t get me wrong, toxicity was always there (as with every other online game), but it ranked up every year. Year after year. Until I finally gave up and never really looed back, because of how toxic and miserable I felt in game. Can’t even imagine it nowadays.

    1. A bug
    2. You’ll get banned
    3. They just announced it and didn’t implement it for you specifically . AB testing or something

    One of those probably

      1. They check the Windows version or whatever and the one reported by wine is compatible. It won’t actually work since it’s not actually running that version of Windows.

    It does only run on Windows. This compatibility checker isn’t working correctly and is most likely detecting Wine as Windows 10 for some reason.

      Isn’t Vanguard requiring secure-boot and TPM enabled?

      That check is actually worthless and wouldn’t succeed otherwise, or are they not require it on Windows 10

        wait really? if so many league players on windows would get the boot too, most people i know who play it do so because their potato computers are old.

        that would be hilarious

    Same for me, but don’t get your hopes up. Riot just fucked up the code doing the check, but let’s just trust them that their permanently running kernel driver has no security flaws.

    What’s wild, is they released a lengthy post on their anti-cheat this month. At one point they mention that current vanguard has been bypassed/defeated…a bunch of lazy clowns.

    It also shows LoL’s old anti-cheat, you’d get cheaters/scripters/bots anywhere from 1 in 15 games, to 1 in 5, depending on your region. The higher your rank, the more you’d run into cheaters, too, by a lot. Riot games is just a cesspool of free 2 play trash that breeds the most toxic of people.

    In a YouTube video I watched last year, a group came up with an extremely good A.I. powered anti-cheat. The kicker is this, they couldn’t sell it to a single major studio, because said studios implied that their player count would suffer way too much.

    None of these studio’s give a single fuck about competitive integrity. Just stfu, keep playing 100s of matches in an obviously broken rank/match making system to slightly rank up, and give us $.

    The compatibility checker has verified that your system is in fact, a system. You have successfully failed at being unbanned, congratulations!
