Battlefield 2042

Hey, guys. I have downloaded the Battleield 2042 again after version 8, when the EA decided to require all players to use God **bleep** Secure Boot. 

Now my secure boot is on, but I still face issues during playing. For example, today game may just crashed and closed automatically without any error. 

My PC is not a potato so it should handle this game:

  • CPU: i9-14900HX
  • GPU: RTX 4070
  • RAM: 16GB

I am so done with troubleshooting all this staff. I have this game installed for already 1 month and I am troublesooting it EVERY day. For now I would just recommend EA to remove the stupid Secure Boot.  At the same time I will ask this community to help to indetify/fix misconfiguratoin that may result these issues. Letme know if you need more details of my PC or OS that will help you to determine the issue.

For now I will just delet this game, and will wait untill I will get an answer here to donwload it and retest it.

p.s. EA requires Secure Boot reasoning that it will not allow cheaters to use cheats. Guess what, that will not block them. Majority of cheaters already know how cheats work and most of them work by injecting data into the memory space of the game. But this stupid secure boot that may just totally break your OS. Besides it may not stop cheaters from cheating. SECURE BOOT IS NOT AGAINST INJECTABLE CHEATS. Secure Boot will make the usual player go and enable it  from BIOS (which is not recommended at all unless you know what you are doing, if that was a good thing Windows will be installed with it pre-enabled).

I have also heard that they are testing Secure Boot on BF2042, just to make it prerequisite for BF6.  Guess how many players will play that game?

EA stop destroying your own games!!!

Thanks everyone for you help.
