Vanguard Firmware Block Wave
Game: Valorant AC: Vanguard (VGK) Today’s Vanguard anti-cheat update blocked the majority of DMA firmwares using SATA/NVMe. VGK suddenly triggered an IOMMU restart warning in-game, after which the DMA firmware becomes completely unusable, even without the game running or after uninstalling Vanguard. Only fix is a full OS reinstall. It’s using IOMMU to create read blocks, which permanently breaks the majority of almost all SATA/NVMe firmwares once triggered. Even the advanced H2-board got affected. Confirmed Firmware Block wave by @ItsGamerDoc
A screenshot of a post reporting that Valorant’s Vanguard anti-cheat update has disabled many DMA firmwares and may require a full operating-system reinstall. The joke is exaggerated outrage at anti-cheat software effectively destroying users’ systems, shared as ironic tech drama or gaming-community commentary.
