Battlefield 6 open beta won't run if you have Valorant installed, thanks to Riot's anti-cheat
-
Hm - arguably, that actually puts Riot more at fault here. It’s a scummy environment either way, but at least if Battlefield is shutting down anticheat when you close the game, that’s a small step above.Oh I think they're both at fault. Fuck EA/Battlefield for the SecureBoot requirement too. In fact, fuck all games with kernel level anti-cheats.

Honestly that's not much better. I shouldn't be expected to reboot my computer to play a game.

How else would I get my hourly dose of homophobic insults on voice from teenagers with barely broken voices?! Not to mention being frequently informed that my 70 year old mom is a prostitute. If I try and simulate the multiplayer experience on a single player game by insulting myself, it's just not the same.

Doesn't matter I found bots and cheaters. Kernel level anticheat is nothing more than a security theaterYep. There’s money to be made coding cheats. There’s absolutely no shortage of people willing to cheat and shit on other players. “giT gUd KiD, LeRn HoW tOo Aim!1!1!” I’ve got over 3k hours in BF2042 and easily the top 3-5 players give or take on either team are using some form of cheat, whether it be a Cronus or an actual software cheat, they’re obvious as hell. Like most fps games, they only keep the cheats to just enough of a minimum that they can delete cheat discussions from the forums and the community to lick the boot, “stfu hackusations!”

I'm confused. I thought the last mainline BF title was Battlefield 4? (And then after that came BF1, and then that failure BF2042.) Did they skip a number, or was Battlefield 5 just so fucking bad that I blanked it from my memory? I honestly can't tell. I haven't enjoyed a Battlefield game since Bad Company 2.

I will always prefer multiplayer games for the simple reason that single-player AI is stupid and predictable. Why does every enemy behave like every single other enemy in literally every game? Is it really *that* much more difficult to program enemies to behave in various, unpredictable ways? Until that day comes, I will always prefer my enemies to be human.
-
The installations aren't the problem. Trying to run them at the same time is the problem, but why would anyone be loading more than one game at a time?
-
This is wrong. You can't run both at the same time but there's nothing stopping you from having valorant installed

However, I do remember the first Half-Life touting that as a major feature and it being cool to experience back when that game first came out. I remember some enemies would throw your grenades back at you or fall back and regroup, some would just run straight at you, and others would attempt to sneak around and flank you.

Not sure if you're being serious, but at least Riot Games' anti-cheat Vanguard always wants to be running in the background, whether the game is running or not. Sure, you can stop it, but if you then want to play something that requires it, you have to reboot. There's no manual way to start it. One of the reasons I decided to drop Valorant.

If you fought one combine soldier, you fought them all.
