Riot head of anti-cheat Phillip Koskinas cleared up the misunderstanding in an X post earlier this week.
“Vanguard is compatible with Javelin, and you don’t need to uninstall one anti-cheat to use the other. However, BF6 does not currently allow the VALORANT client to be running simultaneously, because both drivers race to protect regions of game memory with the same technique.”
So, you can play play BF6 and VALORANT at the same time… not exactly a massive issues unless you’re running a mainframe, I guess?
Why did you link an article that you haven’t read?
From your article:
AnAveragePlayer tried to run both games simultaneously on his PC, which led to the problems.
This is generally not a particularly good idea, as both programs compete for the available hardware.
The problem can be easily solved by not trying to play two games at the same time. Which is actually impossible with two fast-paced first-person shooters.
The point of posting it was to provide further context to evidence my claim, that users are getting errors that tell them to uninstall Valorant.
Yep, its also true that this happens when you have both games or their launchers running simultaneously, and this can seemingly be solved by not doing that.
Still, a poorly worded error code often causes great confusion… as … evidenced by this entire situation.
Both the OP and the article are both about a Reddit post by one user who got a weird error when trying to run both games at the same time.
Then the lead developer at Riot responded on X explaining that the error was caused by running both clients at the same time.
That’s the entire story.
There’s nothing presented, in either article, that suggests that it is a widespread problem.
Just because the clickbait press is reporting the same story with different headlines doesn’t mean it is a widespread problem. They’re both writing about the same Reddit post and the same X reply.

The headline makes it sound worse than it is.

People running BF6 have been getting error messages that seem to tell them they need to entirely uninstall Valorant.

Stop believing everything I read on the internet. Okay I don’t believe this comment I read on the internet…
Try reading the articles, not the headline.
I don’t believe this comment since I read it on the internet.
Isn’t it past your bedtime?
