I've said it before and I'll say it again: it's a miracle any video game actually works. They're hard enough to make on consoles, but imagine the difficulty associated with getting them to work on PCs and laptops that all have completely different system architecture. Well, turns out the Battlefield 6 beta and Valorant can run into such a clash that EA's new shooter recommends you uninstall Riot's one.

Two Reddit posts have popped up that both supposedly show an error message when trying to boot up the Battlefield 6 beta. They read: "The application has failed to start due to a general software incompatibility. Please uninstall the conflicting software, or adjust it's settings. (118): Valorant."
