SECURE BOOT!! ONE PEEVED OFF GAMER

Lets get started.   

I downloaded the game while I slept last night.  Woke up thinking 10am I can load this thing up.  Started it up, and came to screen saying "secure boot needs to be enabled to play". 

Ok, look up the solution.  Spent 3 hours working through solutions on enabling secure boot.  I did not find a way to enable secure boot on my computer.  Back to watching more videos, and still, I did not find a way to enable secure boot.  Another 2 hours wasted, so I gave up, peeved off, and played other games. 

Came back to the problem this evening.  Watched more videos, and finally found something that could be the issue.  I had to change my hard drive from MBR to GPT.  Ok so I follow the steps involved, which means, formatting the drive.  I succeeded in changing from MBR to GPT, only to have all of my games erased, and needing to be installed again.   

I now have loads of time tonight to be able to leave this thoughtful discussion for EA. I will say this, and it is a stern warning.  I do not play any of your other games.  I purchased a couple of games you had on sale for 85% off and was disappointed in Star Wars Battlefront especially.  If this is the kind of hoops you want me jumping through to play an anticipated title, you will quickly learn I have no interest in your games.  Having to wipe a hard drive full of games is quite frankly, beyond ridiculous!   

Im going to leave this on a positive note.  If you see my post and are having a hard time with the Secure Boot, leave a message, I will gladly assist you with the process.

  •  What is your motherboard? Hit the Windows key and type "system info". Select System Information. The system information app will open and display key information about your system.


    With that information, it's possible to find specific instructions on how to turn secure boot on for your system.

    I am fully aware of all steps.  Thank you anyways.  Not interested in this game at all.  Good luck.

    You just dont know what your doing and are frustrated, you should of been able to enable TPM and Secure boot in your bios and been able to play. Do you know how to get into your bios and what settings you need to change? What brand and model motherboard are you using?

  • Try this: Change Secure Boot Mode to Custom. Select Reset Secure Boot Keys (sometimes phrased as Reset to Factory Defaults or Reset without Saving). After that, change the mode back to Standard (or Default) mode.

  • just stop trying to help, they want to be mad and can't accept they are the problem.

  • I was a little bit peeved too, but I did get it sorted, and they're probably going to need to get it fixed for any future games, regardless of publisher.
