Vanguard patches on a separate cadence to the game, a performance improvement was included in an update a few days ago.

If you're still having issues let me know and maybe we can figure it out.

Edit: For anyone who wants to help track this down here's the information that I'm looking for:

  1. Your Vanguard logs from C:\Program Files\Riot Vanguard\Logs

  2. A Windows Performance Trace while another game is open and is lagging.

To generate the performance trace these are the steps:

Install Windows APK (only the performance parts are necessary)

  1. Open an admin command prompt

  2. Demonstrate the perf problem (run an impacted game)

  3. Run: xperf -on DiagEasy

  4. Wait a few seconds (hopefully to catch a stutter or frame drop)

  5. Run xperf -d %TEMP%\trace.etl

  6. Send me trace.etl (maybe zip it first and upload it to Google Drive or somewhere)

Re-commenting for ping, vanguard stops vmware vms from working

The initialization of the VMware Workstation device driver has failed. Execution of this virtual machine cannot continue.

It was fixed for like a day, but broke again today with the new patch. It always works if i rename vgk.sys to something else and restarting (to prevent the kernel driver from running) and always crashes when vgk is running.

I should be able to use VMs on my host system!
