Why did you link an article that you haven’t read?

From your article:

AnAveragePlayer tried to run both games simultaneously on his PC, which led to the problems. This is generally not a particularly good idea, as both programs compete for the available hardware.

The problem can be easily solved by not trying to play two games at the same time. Which is actually impossible with two fast-paced first-person shooters.

I did read it.

The point of posting it was to provide further context to evidence my claim, that users are getting errors that tell them to uninstall Valorant.

Yep, its also true that this happens when you have both games or their launchers running simultaneously, and this can seemingly be solved by not doing that.

Still, a poorly worded error code often causes great confusion... as ... evidenced by this entire situation.

Both the OP and the article are both about a Reddit post by one user who got a weird error when trying to run both games at the same time.

Then the lead developer at Riot responded on X explaining that the error was caused by running both clients at the same time.

That’s the entire story.

There’s nothing presented, in either article, that suggests that it is a widespread problem.

Just because the clickbait press is reporting the same story with different headlines doesn’t mean it is a widespread problem. They’re both writing about the same Reddit post and the same X reply.

It’s a non story
