9+ Riot Vanguard on VMs: Setup & Performance

This system employs kernel-mode driver software within a hypervisor-protected environment to enhance the security of a popular online game. By isolating anticheat processes from the primary operating system, it aims to prevent unauthorized access and manipulation, thus promoting fair play. For instance, cheat software trying to interact with game memory finds it significantly harder to do so due to this protective layer.

This approach improves the detection and prevention of cheating methods, contributing to a more balanced and enjoyable player experience. It represents a significant evolution in anticheat technology, moving beyond traditional user-mode approaches for a more robust, tamper-resistant system. Historically, game developers struggled with user-mode anticheat solutions, often circumvented by increasingly sophisticated cheats. This new paradigm seeks to address these limitations directly.
