Valorant fighting with Endpoint VPN

Nisqhog

I'm probably not the only person here who is working from home full or part-time, but I haven't heard many complain about this issue.

I recently wanted to get back into the game, but after downloading and installing, once the game starts up I get an error message that there is a software incompatibility issue with Vanguard. The culprit is file called "vnaap.sys", which after some quick digging I've found out is a part of Checkpoint Endpoint VPN, the software I use to connect to my company's network when working from home.

Disabling the app in the background, and reainstalling both Vanguard and Checkpoint didn't seem to solve the problem. I have read that some people had this issue years ago, but now it has propped up it's ugly head again, it seems. Is there any way for Vanguard to not recognize my VPN's files , or just generally avoid this issue? Any chance for an official patch, seeing how they've already fixed this once in the past?

Did you find any solution?

It is a conflict of vanguard and checkpoint service. I created two .vbs files to solve it:

First file to disable valorant/vanguard services with restarting PC. It contains:
Call CreateObject("Shell.Application").ShellExecute("cmd.exe", "/c ""sc config vgc start= disabled & sc config vgk start= disabled & net stop vgc & net stop vgk & taskkill /IM vgtray.exe /F & taskkill /IM riotclientservices.exe /F & shutdown /r /f /t 00""", "", "runas")
After run it checkpoint will work correctly but valorant / vanguard is not
Second file to enable valorant / vanguard services with restarting PC. It contains:
Call CreateObject("Shell.Application").ShellExecute("cmd.exe", "/c ""sc config vgc start= demand & sc config vgk start= system & shutdown /r /f /t 00""", "", "runas")
