Re: Security Requirements on BF6 on PCs!

It’s saying I need to enable secure boot.. the problem is I already have it enabled on my desktop pc. I’m also booting via Uefi so I have no idea what to do. Also sucks because I can’t play on steam deck even with windows installed.

    Do you have a TPM 2.0 motherboard as well?  That might the catch…?

    I have mine enabled to "I think" and I dont really give a crap to try and trouble shoot a game when that is the developers job. I am here to pay for a working product not become slave labour for EA's anti cheat team

    I understand that sentiment, but you would rather EA not try to improve anti-cheat measures?  Also, where do they draw the line on Windows 10 support, when Microsoft stops support in October?  Windows 11 has these security features enabled automatically.

    If you are willing to try to troubleshoot, I can tell you that you are in the right place for support.  We all want as many to play as possible…

    Hope that helps and let me know if I can be of more help!

    I’ve enabled ptt which is firmware integrated tpm 2.0. If that’s the issue I’m not playing the game…

    I’m on windows 11 I had to enable ptt to install windows 11 because it’s a tpm 2.0 equivalent

    While not technically TPM 2.0, it’s the same functionality… and meets Win11 requirements. Man, I hope that’s not the issue because that would be a bad look for EA DICE… I think you have an issue that needs more information from devs / CMs

    EA_Leeuw​ any insight here? Intel PTT not a valid alternative to TPM 2.0?

    I wont be messing with anything in my bios due to me having a i9 14900k, I updated the bios to fix the over voltage issues and I'm not risking anything changing secure boot in the bios. I looked recently on reddit and people are having massive issues enabling SB and bricking their pc.

    Just for the information, AMD's firmware solution (fTPM) has no such issue, so not sure if the PTT is the culprit, although it's possible. Hard to say, but sometimes doesn't harm to double check things like that the secure boot is truly enabled, as stupid as it may sound. ;)

    Fixed Ended up reflashing the bios. Had to of been a glitch with my pc. I’ve never had this issue probably because this is the first game I played that requires secure boot lol rip

    Well done sir!  I am thinking a lot of these issues cropping up everywhere are outdated BIOS firmwares, corruption in Windows, etc.  God help us all though if widespread BIOS updates are going to be required for everyone to play... EA DICE won't hear the end of it...

    On that note, cannot hurt to run:

    Command Prompt > sfc /scannow

    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    Just to give Windows a clean bill of health as well.

    carsono311​ Intel PTT stands for "Intel Platform Trust Technology," which is essentially a firmware-based implementation of TPM 2.0. It serves as a valid alternative to a physical TPM 2.0 hardware chip. However, I see that OP has already resolved the issue. :)

    I have the same issue where secure boot and TPM is enabled, but game won't launch since it thinks I don't have secure boot enabled.  It's an AMD PC with fTPM enabled and latest NVIDIA driver. Also it tries to install anti-cheat software every time on launch.  It feels like  the software is looking tin the wrong place to identify whether the secure boot and TPM info is stored.  I've reinstalled the software and cleared the app cache, restarted the pc, etc. to no avail.  WTF EA???  Don't you test this crap before release?  Isn't that what beta testing is for???  Really disappointing...
