⚡️🎮 WTF - GAMING: A Reddit user says a second-hand Ryzen 7 5800X3D locked him out of Valorant because a previous owner had cheated with it.
He bought the CPU and was immediately kicked by Vanguard when launching the game.
After contacting Riot, he was told that the CPU’s ID/serial number had already been blacklisted on August 12 because its previous owner had cheated in Valorant.
He also claims the hardware ban then affected other parts of his PC, including the motherboard and storage drives.
Riot told him there was nothing they could do to remove the hardware ban.
