BF6 Blastpoint Patch Is Live, and Its Anti-Cheat Blocks You From Running Valorant Simultaneously

Battlefield 6's Blastpoint mid-season update went live June 9, adding Cairo Bazaar (returning from Battlefield 3), Obliteration mode (returning from Battlefield 4), the PP-19 SMG, 50% faster weapon attachment progression, and a reworked soldier visibility system. The update also confirmed a conflict: BF6's kernel-level Javelin anti-cheat cannot coexist with Valorant's Vanguard in the same session. Both systems attempt to control overlapping memory regions. The workaround is to close the Riot client completely before launching BF6.
