Battlefield 6 open beta won't run if you have Valorant installed, thanks to Riot's anti-cheat
-
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?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.

Maybe you're virtualizing it for multiple users. Sure, that might sound like a weird thing to do, but that's mostly because shit like this makes it harder than it ought to be.

As far as I understand it, you'd need to reboot only if you 1. Had Valorant running 2. Stopped Valve's anticheat manually 3. Want to play Valorant again afterwards. It's still stupid, yeah. But workarounds are usually thatValorant is riot games... Not valve

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.

i routinely have 3 games running in the background, sometimes 4. Different strokes and all that.The anticheat runs all the time unless you specifically exit it and requires a reboot of the computer for the exit to take, the reverse is true to turn it back on as well.

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.
