Secure Boot

Question

I am glad EA has reminded me why I no longer support their company/ brand; the most recent endeavor was attempting to play one of their games. They seem to not care about their customers and have proved it by requiring software programming before playing a game with their new "secure" boot setting. I looked online and it appears to be a 50% chance to brick your PC by enabling this setting, so I just did not risk it.&nbsp;I was actually disappointed, which is crazy considering how little I have come to expect over the years from EA, because I now know I should not even waste my time with the newest battlefield. We all know it will release bugged and with terrible server performance... again, we have all come to expect this from EA, but the reason I won't waste my time is because I don't want a 50% chance of losing my PC.Do better EA, please just listen to us suckers who still pretend that there is a chance to enjoy a Battlefield game.

It's to prevent cheating, so chaeting software is harder to run. btw your headshot % is realy high

Agree - they do this for a reason. Let's face it - there are way to many cheaters in this game - perhaps not aimbot using - but definitely using the wallhack. Way too often you think what the heck - how did he know I was in that corner - no way sniper / sentry or anything could spot you. If Paik makes the scan - you are alerted by this - Rao hack - you also know. A map that shows all people in the game is very helpfull - you dont need aimbot to get high scores when you know where all are.Secure boot and windows memory protection (integrity) could be ways to limit the cheats - but I'm no expert in this. I do hope BF 6 will have good protection !

I have an old Win10 dual boot, it took me longer to read the post about enabling Secure boot than it took to turn it on. If it slows down cheaters I'm all for it.
