did you get van -81 before this one? van -79 should be the vanguard driver if i remeber correctly if you've set up your windows for selective startup/disabled some startup settings

do you know how to access your regedit on windows, once you find and enable it in there, should be good unless it's missing
Pikachu21
Pikachu21OP2mo ago
Yeah wayy before time but I reseted the pc and it was working fine but I encounter this 😭
Oz
Oz2mo ago
-81 should be caused by this and probably got fixed since it rebooted on startup which just leaves the driver

Bruv you need to stop spam pinging them☠️ They’ll reply when they can And no, you can’t play without vgc @Pikachu21 Also quick question for you, are you using 1 of those un official windows ?
junimo
junimo2mo ago
your vanguard driver isn't loaded properly do sc query vgk in cmd.exe and see what it says also is there a new vgk log for you?

Pikachu21OP2mo ago
