Does anyone what a "RiotCache.dat" file was doing in my EFI partition?


About a year ago, I was installing Arch Linux to try it out on my laptop but I was running into space issues on my EFI partition. When I went to take a look, I found a "RiotCache.dat" file.

I subsequently made this post [1], but I never got an answer as to what that file was doing there.

It’ll be the Riot Games Vanguard anti-cheat. It’s very invasive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riot_Vanguard

Riot Games client data? Aka anticheat root kit? Did your old laptop have a riot game on it?
