Hey everyone!
I can currently launch the beta "v1.0.370.35096" without TPM. It's off for me (TPM 1.2), and it will stay that way. Let's see if EA releases an update for the upcoming 7.8 that makes it "explicitly" required.
By the way, Secure Boot is only required for Battlefield 2042 if the system has that feature.
I quote as follows:
Quote/Beginning;
SECURE BOOT REQUIREMENT FOR SUPPORTED HARDWARE
Starting with update 8.8.0 for Battlefield 2042, Secure Boot must be enabled for supported PC hardware. This increases trust and security when playing EA titles. As cheat developers evolve their tactics, we have to keep up.
To keep Battlefield 2042 fair and fun for everyone, we're strengthening our defenses, especially against cheats that try to sneak in during the Windows boot process. This supports our commitment to positive gameplay and ensures a level playing field for all players.
If you attempt to load the game after Update 8.8.0 without Secure Boot on hardware that supports it, you'll receive a message stating that Secure Boot is required. Secure Boot is a feature available for Windows 11 and Windows 10 devices. For more information on enabling this functionality, see our EA Help article here.
Quote/end.
This could eventually be applied to Battlefield 6 as well.
