How to fix Van: Restriction [HVCI / TPM 2.0 / SECURE BOOT]

What is Van: Restriction, and why did you receive it?

- This means that Vanguard's anti-cheat system flagged your computer as potentially unsafe. This flag was likely triggered by third-party software associated with unfair gameplay. Vanguard is giving you a warning and a second chance to stop using these programs. To regain access to the game, you’ll need to enable specific security features, such as HVCI, TPM 2.0, and Secure Boot, to block the launch of unauthorized software. Without these enabled, you won't be able to access the game.

How to fix Van: Restriction?

- To resolve this issue, you need to make changes to your PC’s setup and identification to avoid detection by Vanguard. This should help remove the flags and allow gameplay without enabling HVCI, TPM 2.0, and Secure Boot.

This approach may not be simple and might not work for everyone, but it has a high probability of success.

Steps to fix Van: Restriction

  1. Flash the BIOS;
  2. Reinstall Windows;
  3. Use a Permanent Spoofer to mask unique hardware details;
  4. Reset internet data: IP address, ARP, MAC address, and other network parameters.

Details on resetting internet data:

The easiest and safest method to reset network data is to switch your internet provider (for example, get a new router from a new provider) or change your connection method. For instance, try sharing the internet from your phone to pc via cable or make "modem mode". This will completely alter internet parameters: external and internal IP addresses, DNS servers, provider connection settings, ARP tables in the local network and at the provider level, and more.

These methods should help remove all Vanguard flags and restore a "fresh computer" status. You can also try your own methods to change internet data, but I have outlined the simplest and safest option here.

Please Note: Repeated use of cheats risks your computer being flagged again. To avoid this, use high-quality, reliable cheats. Keep in mind, prolonged use of cheats and accumulating reports may prompt Vanguard to require you to enable TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot.
