Riot Vanguard setup for mods
A setup guide by Bytonian Mods
Exiting Vanguard can resolve a conflict with another program. Games that require Vanguard may stop launching while it is off; turning it off does not make those games supported by Bytonian Mods.
You can use mods in single-player, when hosting, or in supported co-op. When joining someone else’s game, do not use mods for an unfair advantage against other players. Follow the game’s rules; disabling anti-cheat does not remove account-ban risk.
- Close Riot games and exit the Riot Client, including its system-tray icon.
- Right-click the Riot Vanguard icon in the Windows system tray and choose Exit Vanguard. Confirm the prompt.
- Open the supported game you wanted to play and follow its instructions below.
When you finish
Restart your computer before returning to a game that needs Vanguard.

If your game has no supported launch mode without anti-cheat, contact support before using mods.
