TFT Patch Notes - TFT Stats, Leaderboards, League of Legends Teamfight Tactics

VANGUARD

With 14.9, Vanguard, Riot’s proprietary Anti-Cheat system will be deployed and active on the PC client. This means that active enforcement of Vanguard will be in effect and working hard to make sure your queues are free from scripters, botters, and cheaters! While that statement is more applicable to League of Legends, we expect TFT to also benefit long-term as Vanguard acts as a blocker for potential cheaters further down the road. We recently released a blog detailing the “why” behind bringing Vanguard to League that you can check out here. It’s a bit of a long read but it does have some pictures.

If you’re wondering what all you need to do to keep playing League of Legends (and TFT on PC), all you need to do is install Vanguard. If you do not have Vanguard installed when you launch the Riot Client or League it will prompt you to install Vanguard and then restart your system to ensure Vanguard is active. You will be unable to queue or play until Vanguard is installed and active.

If you run into any issues, please check out our support articles for any troubleshooting needs involving Vanguard.

DIRECTX 9 DEPRECATION

With 14.9 we will be ending DirectX 9 support for League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics. To maintain the stability and performance of our games we need to deprecate support for older hardware or software that isn't widely used by players anymore. If you're currently opted into using DirectX 9, the game will automatically disable this option when we remove the support. If you were running in DirectX 9 due to hardware incompatibility issues, we recommend upgrading your devices as soon as possible, so you may continue to play.

For more information on keeping your DirectX version up to date and troubleshooting any issues related to it, check out our support article. (The link should take you directly to the DirectX section; if not, you can find it there.)
