Battlefield 6’s Anti-Cheat Asks Players to Uninstall Valorant

Battlefield 6’s anti-cheat system conflicts with Valorant’s Vanguard, causing uninstall prompts.

Battlefield 6 has taken a firm stance on anti-cheat measures, requiring PC players to launch the game with Secure Boot enabled. Alongside this, some players have encountered a surprising message asking them to uninstall Valorant.

EA has been serious about cutting down cheating in Battlefield 6. During its Open Beta, which became the largest in the series’ history, the game blocked over 300,000 cheating attempts. A big part of this success comes from its anti-cheat software called Javelin, combined with strict PC security requirements.

But here’s the catch: Javelin seems to have trouble coexisting with Riot Games’ anti-cheat system, Vanguard, which Valorant uses. Players trying to run Battlefield 6 while having Valorant installed have seen an error message saying, “The application has failed to start due to a general software incompatibility. Please uninstall the conflicting software, or adjust its settings: Valorant.”

Battlefield 6 just told me to uninstall Valorant. Literally.

On Reddit, fans have joked that Battlefield doesn’t want to share disk space with Valorant or that it’s a sign to say “good riddance” to Riot’s shooter. The real issue is that the two anti-cheat programs clash and can’t run simultaneously, causing Battlefield 6 to refuse to launch if Vanguard is present.

Luckily, this problem only arises if you try to run both games at the same time. If you’re not playing Valorant alongside Battlefield 6, there’s no need to uninstall anything. Still, it’s a bit of a hassle for those who enjoy both games and want to switch between them quickly.
