VALORANT is a 5v5 strategic FPS title developed by Riot Games. Being an esports-ready game with a full-fledged ranked mode, VALORANT incorporates one of the best anti-cheats in the gaming industry.

Vanguard anti-cheat is Riot’s kernel-level countermeasure to stop cheats. Vanguard faces issues as a complex anti-cheat system when the game gets an update. However, the problems during patching are easily fixable.

Let’s look at the possible fixes for Vanguard’s patching issue.

How to Fix Vanguard Patching Issue

After an update alongside the game, Vanguard also receives various changes. These new changes sometimes cause the anti-cheat not to patch correctly, causing problems for many players. However, these patching issues are easily fixable, let’s take a look at the probable methods:

Method – 1: Restart your Computer

As a kernel-level anti-cheat, Vanguard consumes a hefty amount of RAM. So, your operating system might close the anti-cheat if there is a shortage of RAM. However, restarting the computer fixes this problem most of the time. Here’s how to restart your computer:

  • Open the Start menu.
  • Click on the Power prompt.
  • Press Restart, and your computer will restart itself.

Method – 2: Close and Restart all Riot Processes

Restarting all Riot Processes will sometimes fix the Vanguard patching issue. First, open your taskbar and follow these steps:

  • Click on the Riot Client process and End the task.
  • Click on the Vanguard tray notification and End the task.
  • Restart your Riot Client after closing the processes.

Method – 3: Reinstall the Riot Client

Reinstalling the Riot Client initiates Vanguard again. Riot Client isn’t downloadable, however, it can be reinstalled if you follow these steps:

  • Search Riot Client in the Search Bar.
  • Now Right Click on the Riot Client.
  • Click on Uninstall
  • After the uninstall is complete, boot up VALORANT again.
  • The Riot Client will start installing again.

If you follow these steps carefully, your problem regarding Vanguard should be resolved. However, if your issue isn’t resolved after these steps, you can create a ticket from the VALORANT Support page.
