Secure Boot

Question

I really hope EA/Dice will revise their requirement for Secure boot on BF6.

I am a Battlefield franchise fan, BF3 brought me into PC gaming , i own BF3 BF4 BF1 & BF2042 and played it all for hours and hours.

I stopped playing BF2042 because suddenly after years you introduce Anti-cheat & Secure boot.
Let me get this clear i am not against installing anti-cheat, but i can/will not enable secure boot on my PC.

As a matter a fact i already feel robbed by EA/dice by requiring secure boot on bf2042 i already own.

I really want to play BF6 because it looks freaking awesome, but i will not enable secure boot so i won't buy it!

You do not need Secure boot enabled for an anticheat.

Take an example from Faceit they removed the requirement for Secureboot because of community feedback.
Faceit update

Listen to your community please

I wouldn't bank on it, kernel-level anticheat and using secureboot is probably here to stay. I believe Riot requires the same things for their games.

It &nbsp;says in the beta requirements that you will need secure boot enabled.You’ll also get a prompt to enable Secure Boot if you haven’t already – it’s a requirement to play the Open Beta. For guidance about Secure Boot, head over to our EA Help article.https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-6/news/lock-and-load-for-the-open-beta&nbsp;So if it’s in the beta, you can bet it will be in the final release.&nbsp;

I'm hoping i can play the beta because i can play 2042 without tpm or secure boot because my pld pc doesn't support it. Was planning on upgrading before October but not as soon as this week !

That is because your PC doesn't have secure boot in the bios

Mine does and I'm prompt to enable it. But I can't do that because it will break my Linux dual boot

Which brings the question why are old pcs allowed to play the game without secure boot and new PCs not

It's going to have to start happening anyways as Win10 is phasing out and 11 requires it. Like it or not that feature is turning on for folks globally.

As for many of us it doesnt give any real downsides to enabling and if anything just further protects you against malware so even if you are a diehard 11 hater turning it on can help you down the line on 10. Just turn it on if you can dude it REALLY is not that bad.
