[INFO] BF2042 Patch 8.8 (May 27) – Secure Boot Requirement for Supported Systems

Hello,

I purchased Battlefield 2042 when Secure Boot was not required. After changing my PC, I can no longer launch the game due to this new condition.

The way EA chooses to fight cheaters should never become the user’s burden, especially when it requires modifying critical system settings on personal computers.

Secure Boot is designed to protect users from rootkits — not to enforce anti-cheat systems. Whether it’s easy or safe to enable is irrelevant; forcing players to activate it abuses a personal security feature for corporate purposes.

Some users have encountered issues even when following EA’s own instructions. EA takes no responsibility for any potential damage and provides no guarantees or support if something goes wrong. This is unacceptable. Players should not be forced to risk system stability just to meet EA’s needs.

Our system settings are not EA’s business.

Therefore:

1. I ask for a way to play Battlefield 2042 without Secure Boot.
2. I ask EA to offer alternative options in future titles like Battlefield 6.
