Battlefield 6 won’t launch – Secure Boot not enabled error

Hello,

I have just purchased Battlefield 6 and I cannot even start the game because of the message:
"SecureBoot is not enabled. Learn how to use SecureBoot at go.ea.com/SecureBoot."

My PC meets or exceeds all the official system requirements, yet the game refuses to launch only because Secure Boot is not enabled or detected.

Forcing players to change BIOS settings is unreasonable. Not every system supports Secure Boot, and enabling it can cause boot issues or require full system reinstallation.

This is a major accessibility and compatibility issue. A modern PC game should not require players to alter low-level firmware settings just to launch.

I request that EA:

provides an alternative or compatibility mode for systems without Secure Boot,

clearly communicates this hardware requirement before purchase,

and offers refund options for affected players who cannot enable Secure Boot.

 

I paid for a game that I cannot even start. Please treat this message as a formal complaint and forward it to the Battlefield 6 technical and management teams.

Thank you,
Piotr

  • I have the exact same issue ( on top of that I supposedly also require a window 11 license )

  • Same thing here. Almost broke my computer trying to activate Secure Boot because as soon as I toggle on Secure Boot, my GPU start messing up. Tryied everything. Asked for a refund... I'm so happy I made a new PC config for BF6 to not be able to play because of this **bleep**ty Secure Boot Mode thing... 

  • I have the same problem, if I change Secure Boot from OS to Windows Uefi, it doesn't work anymore, if I change CSM from Legacy to Uefi, the operating system doesn't load anymore. I mention that I have Windows 10, I just reinstalled Windows but still the same problem, Windows won't load unless CSM remains on Legacy and Secure Boot on the OS.
