[INFO] BF2042 Patch 8.8 (May 27) – Secure Boot Requirement for Supported Systems
With Update 8.8.0 on Battlefield 2042, we will require that Secure Boot be enabled for PC hardware that can support it. This will provide you with a higher standard of trust and safety while you play select EA titles. As cheat developers keep evolving their tactics, we're stepping up our game, too. To keep Battlefield 2042 fair and fun for everyone, we're strengthening our defences, especially against cheats that try to sneak in during the Windows boot process. This move supports our Positive Play commitment and helps ensure a level playing field for all players.If you attempt to load the game following Update 8.8.0 without Secure Boot enabled, but are on a piece of hardware that supports it, you will be prompted with a message stating that Secure Boot is required. Secure Boot is a feature available for Windows 11 and Windows 10 devices, and you can learn more about how to enable this functionality via our EA Help article here. (‼️At Your Own Risk‼️) How to Reset Secure Boot if Battlefield 2042 Does Not Recognise It Before you proceed, consult your motherboard manual for precise steps. BIOS/UEFI menus vary by manufacturer. EA is not responsible for any damage or loss of data. ‼️This is at your own risk.‼️ Incorrect changes to BIOS/UEFI can render your system unbootable. Verify that Secure Boot, not just UEFI boot, is required. Ensure your system boots properly with CSM (Compatibility Support Module) disabled. ‼️Consult your motherboard manual‼️ for precise steps. BIOS/UEFI menus vary by manufacturer. EA is not responsible for any damage or loss of data. Steps to Reset Secure Boot Enter BIOS/UEFI Settings Restart your PC and press the designated key (usually DEL, F2, ESC) to enter BIOS/UEFI. Locate Secure Boot Settings Navigate to the Security or Boot tab. Assess the Current Secure Boot State If the Mode is User, you can usually enable Secure Boot directly. If the Mode is Setup, follow these steps: Disable Secure Boot (if it says Enabled). If it shows Standard, switch to Custom. Then switch back from Custom to Standard, and accept factory defaults. Enable Secure Boot. Optional: Reset Secure Boot Keys In some BIOS/UEFI versions, you can select Reset/Delete Secure Boot Keys under the Secure Boot settings. Save and Exit BIOS/UEFI Save your changes and restart your computer. Verify Secure Boot Status in Windows Press Windows + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter. In System Information, check the Secure Boot State field. If it says On, Secure Boot is enabled and recognised by Windows. If it says Off, revisit the BIOS to adjust settings. If it says Unsupported, your hardware may not support Secure Boot. Restart and Launch Battlefield 2042 Launch the game to check if Secure Boot is now recognised. Please also see: Final Warnings: Follow your motherboard’s manual. BIOS/UEFI instructions can vary greatly. Making incorrect BIOS/UEFI changes may prevent your system from booting.

Unable to connect:/
Hey everyone, since a couple of days I have a problem with staying connected to EA servers. I get this message: Unable to connect to the EA servers. Please check your Internet connection, make sure the Platform Client is online and try again. Please see ea.com/unable-to-connect for more information. Error code: 1:4688822970:-4685921B What I did to try to fix it: Changing DNS servers, Turning off all firewalls and anti-virus, Adding EA and the game itself to firewall and anti-virus exceptions and reinstalling the EA app?! What else can I do? PS the Internet connection is fine. I have been playing battlefield since BF Vietnam. If you have an idea, please shoot. 😉✌🏽thx

Dozer & Boris Achievements Not Unlocking in Solo, Co-Op, or Portal Modes
I read that it might be a bug that achievements no longer unlock in Solo/Co-op or Portal modes. I’ve been trying to get the Dozer “7 kills in one life with the shield” and Boris “2500 turret damage in one round” achievements. I’ve put a lot of time into both in All-Out Warfare, and it’s honestly starting to take the fun out of the game. If these achievements are supposed to work offline, it’s incredibly frustrating — especially when I get 4–5 kills with the shield, get dropped, and nobody revives me. To whoever handles QA and tracking: I’ve tested this enough online to say that trying to get the Dozer achievement has been one of the worst experiences I’ve had in Battlefield. Players will suicide with incendiary grenades just to deny the kill, kills get stolen constantly, and it’s common to get T-bagged after dying while using the shield — which says a lot about how players view this Specialist. MY MAIN QUESTION: is this a known bug, or is it intended that these achievements now only work in public All-Out Warfare matches? I also noticed that server population seems different — I used to get matches with some bots, but now it’s full human lobbies almost every time, which makes this even harder. Whether that’s a tweak to matchmaking or a change in active player counts, I’m not sure. This is a request from a dedicated player to enable achievement tracking in Solo and Portal modes, or at least confirm the current expected behavior.The latest version of EA anticheat is required to play
I was playing Battlefield (BF2042) 2042 just fine the other night when I got this error. Security Breach (Upper left corner of pop up window). The body read: The latest version of EA anticheat is required to play. Please see: https://help.ea.com/help/pc/ea-anticheat/ on how to update to latest version. (136) I tried the above link and that did not work in any way shape or form. I did this several times without luck. I did the whole empty cache and app recovery. No luck. I uninstalled the EA app and battlefield 2042. One would think a fresh installation would install the required updated version of EA's anticheat. That was a HARD NO. Windows updates: everything is and was up to date and drivers are up to date. I can play any other game from any other platform with no issues whatsoever. Question: Why the hell am I the one having to manually do an update for ES's anticheat software? This seems to be something that is your job. I paid for a service and have to manually fix your garbage. Nah, makes absolutely zero cents. I know I'm coming across as abrasive but this isn't just about not being able to play a game. Just like EA, it's about money. The most important thing on this planet. This is a waste of money.
Tdm and domination merge
Title: Please Separate TDM and Domination Again – Stop Forcing the Merge Post: > Dear DICE/EA, Many of us were excited when you temporarily brought back standalone Team Deathmatch and Domination in Battlefield Portal. It gave us the freedom to choose the experience we wanted — whether fast-paced team fights or objective-based combat. But now, they're merged again, and it feels like we're being forced into modes we didn’t ask for. Not every player wants to play objectives. Some of us just want to jump into classic infantry-only deathmatch without worrying about flags or zones. Merging both modes under one playlist disrupts the experience and removes player choice. The temporary split worked — matchmaking was smooth, and people were happy. Please consider bringing them back as separate playlists again. Even if they rotate weekly or are limited-time, at least give us that option regularly. Listen to the community — we just want options, not forced combos. Thanks. ---
Wheeled warrior not popping
Hello! I would love to be able to get the platinum of this game and wheeled warrior is my last trophy missing and even although I have completed the requirements and obtained T1 with LATV4 and Pondhawk didn’t get no trophy yet. I will keep playing this amazing get and eventually get more vehicles to T1 but is there anything that can be done about it? I have tried several ways to try to unlock it like launching random games, getting them to level 41 or waiting some days and nothing seems to work. Any advice or fixed on this matter would help a lot. I know other people have the same issue.
Security Violation - qcamain10x64.sys
Hello, Over the past couple of weeks, I have been completely unable to launch Battlefield 2042 due to this Security Violation error closing the game after 2-3 minutes of playing. \ The driver in question that it is throwing an error about is my ethernet and wireless lan driver. I cannot disable these as it would make playing the game impossible. I have tried: Reinstalling the drivers Updating the drivers Disabling the lan and wireless lan separately (which wont do much good if I can't connect to the servers...) Updating EA's anticheat Removing EA's anticheat and completely reinstalling it Replacing the drivers entirely with different ones. Still errors out, and made it impossible to launch. Updating graphics card drivers (just incase) Ensuring Secure Boot is enabled (I recently noticed it was now a requirement. I have always had it enabled.) Completely redownloading, and reinstalling the game. Nothing worked. Moving the game to an entirely different drive As far as I can tell, i've done everything within my power to troubleshoot this issue. I believe EA's anticheat has just become far more sensitive after the secure boot update as I'm noticing far more people having a similar issues, but with random drivers.
Parts of the codex are missing in the Russian localization.
Parts of the codex are missing in the Russian localization |Статьи кодекса обрываются в русской локализации The main issue with the Russian translation of the code's articles is that the text simply ends where it continues in English, sometimes in the middle of a sentence or even a word. As a result, it becomes impossible to understand the full meaning of an article without switching to the original English version. This problem is found in most articles of the Russian translation of the codex. RU: Суть проблемы - статьи кодекса имеют оборванный перевод. Статья обрывается посреди предложения, а то и слова (там где в английской версии статья все еще продолжается). Таким образом невозможно понять весь смысл статьи без свапа на англ. версию.Input lag
There is an incredibly high level of input lag. My mouse and keyboard commands are delayed by 15 seconds. It's impossible to play the game. I haven't experienced this kind of problem with any other game. The system has 32 GB of DDR5 4800 MHz RAM, an Intel i5 12400f, and an Nvidia 4060 RTX. What is the solution? Urgent Help PleaseXbox Battlefield 2042 supports keyboard and mouse
Hello！It's almost 2026, and Battlefield 2042 has been released for such a long time. It's another cross platform game, so it should also support native direct connection between keyboard and mouse, right! Don't always talk about fairness, isn't cross platform support for keyboard and mouse in COD still playing? No wonder the sales are worse than COD every year, ignoring player suggestions. I hope the gaming team can attach importance to the addition of keyboard and mouse on console platforms. Thank you
