Key Takeaways
Created with AI - we're still experimenting, so apologies if it misses the mark
- Some PC games, such as Battlefield 6 and Valorant, require kernel-level access and Secure Boot, which can cause compatibility issues if both are run simultaneously due to their incompatible anticheat systems.
- Currently, players must choose to run one game at a time until the companies involved (DICE and EA for Battlefield 6) address this issue and modify their software to allow coexistence of both games.
- No similar conflicts have been reported with Genshin Impacts anticheat system, suggesting it may not face the same compatibility issues as Battlefield 6 and Valorant.
- Players are advised to be aware of this issue when planning to play these games on their PC to avoid any potential inconvenience or difficulty in running both titles concurrently.
Battlefield 6 and Valorant’s Incompatible Anticheat Systems Force PC Gamers to Choose One Game at a Time
PC gamers participating in the Battlefield 6 beta face a compatibility issue: their anticheat software conflicts with Valorant’s. This arises because both games’ security systems require kernel-level access and Secure Boot, rendering them incompatible. Consequently, players must choose to run one game at a time. Reports indicate this issue specifically affects Valorant, as no similar conflicts have been reported with Genshin Impact’s anticheat system. Neither DICE nor EA has commented on a potential resolution. However, a resolution is expected to involve one of the companies modifying their software to allow both games to coexist.
