After the BATTLEFIELD 2042 UPDATE #8.8.0, I cannot start the game due to the error "SecureBoot is not enabled" ... (111). This is not acceptable.I cannot activate SecureBoot because it's not supported. The last time I tried it messed up everything and I had to format and reinstall everything. EA cannot force its users to change their machine settings to play one game.Roll back or refund. The game is broken and not playable.

The decline is due to the recent update #8.8.0 causing error "SecureBoot is not enabled". Which basically requires the users to activate Secure Boot in their BIOS. Not everyone has the know-how to do this kind of actions. Also not all machines support the SecureBoot feature. This is why the number of players dropped drastically. EA needs to rollback or refund this broken product.

I'd rather play against cheaters than mess around with secureboot. I guess this is the end of 2042 for me

My computer cant enable secure boot. You have stolen my game.

As a lot of people, BF2042 will not launch. I get the "Secure boot is not enabled. Learn how to use ...." My secure boot is enabled at bios. So, what is the fix?

i've watched multiple videos and still cannot make this work

SecureBoot is not enabled. This is how Battlefield 2042 became unplayable.

Well said. If EA are doing this and making the game unplayable then we all should be refunded our money.
