Take a look at your player base. They are constantly running into issues being FORCED to run "Safe Boot" for a video game just so your sub-par Anti-Cheat minimalizes cheaters in BF2042.
Your "Global Anti-Cheat" for BF1 is a joke, people still cheat. Your Anti-Cheat for SWBF2 still has cheaters. Battlefield V is the WORST of the game in the entire franchise for notorious cheating. You REALLY think by "forcing" you player base to run "Safe Boot" is going to be the perma solution for players to play BF0242? Wrong. They're leaving to play other games that don't require to reconfigure their BiOS to run Safe Mode to play a single game.
People are frustrated you threw out this "update" to push players into running "Safe Mode" because your shareholders are realizing "Hey, why isn't anyone playing BF2042?"....Cheaters right? Is that the reason? If so, you've just made it WORSE for your shareholders keeping the money flowing into their pockets because of this unsurprisingly Public Relations (PR) disaster explaining to the masses that you're finally cracking down on the cheating aspect in the Battlefield franchise. Sorry, but If Battlefield 6 is requiring players to use "Safe Mode" to play Bf6, you're going to end upsetting your shareholders once again because players are not comfortable configuring BiOS or mess with settings in BiOS with W10/W11 that can "potentially" cause more harm to their PC to include incompatibility with "work arounds" to band aid the solution.
There needs to be a better solution for the majority of the player base for those who have legacy PC software/hardware to be able to play BF2042. You can't just say "Oh well, not our fault you don't have an up to date PC", well, that's BS, bc ppl can still play BF4, SWBF2 and BF1 WITHOUT the need to put their PC into "Safe Mode". This is just a LAZY attempt at EA/DICE to keep applying band aid solutions on a gushing wound.
Here, food for thought, even though this is on a Thursday mid-morning on the US East, take a look at your Steam Charts for BF1 vs BF2042. Amazing right? Wonder why there's MORE players playing BF1 over BF2042. Could it be the latest patch to include forcing player to run BF2042 in Safe Mode just to play? Geee, I don't know. Just taking a guess here.

You're creating more PROBLEMS than SOLUTIONS with this Safe Mode work around. This is NOT the way forward. You're LOSING players to this. DO BETTER!
