Re: Security Requirements on BF6 on PCs!
So i get the whole secure boot deal, but what are you supposed to do if your pc does not support secure boot?

EA's approach demonstrates fundamental problems with modern anti-cheat implementation:
Invasive System Access: Kernel-level anti-cheat systems like Javelin require unprecedented access to your entire system, operating at the deepest level of Windows where they can monitor all processes, memory, and hardware interactions.
Hardware Discrimination: Rather than developing sophisticated software-based detection methods, EA has chosen to exclude entire hardware generations, effectively forcing hardware upgrades for artificial reasons.
Poor User Communication: The company allows users to download massive game files before revealing hardware incompatibility, wasting bandwidth and user time.
Alternative Solutions Ignored
Effective anti-cheat systems exist without requiring Secure Boot:
- Server-side validation and statistical analysis
- Behavioral pattern detection
- Hardware fingerprinting without kernel access
- Machine learning-based anomaly detection
EA's decision prioritizes convenience in anti-cheat development over user accessibility and privacy concerns. This approach effectively transforms anti-cheat software into system-level surveillance tools while excluding legitimate customers based solely on hardware age rather than actual gaming capability.
