Can't open Madden 24 because of the secure boot. Myself and others are having the same problem. I even went to my BIOS and secure boot is indeed enabled and have done literally every trick in the book. What should I do now? Wait for a potential fix from EA? Is that going to happen?
yep already tried all of these 100 times not helping. fix ur game
How about you do your jobs as developers and put a game out that actually works. I shouldn't be spending this amount of money on a game that I have to do a whole bunch of troubleshooting to actually play it! ya'll are just as bad as Blizzard. Billion dollar company that doesn't do ANY testing before you put your crappy game out!

Just downloaded madden 24 and when the game goes to launch I get security violation secure boot not enabled on this machine. I go into bios and verify that it is enabled. Then when i click close I get this software cannot be used at the same time as the game. please make sure it's not running or restart your pc. Secuity violation (262146) Doesn't do this on any other ea game I have. Please help
I have this issue also. Nothing seems to work.
Tried all the steps and still isn't working. I have uninstalled and reinstalled three times also just to be sure and it is still a no go. I have read on reddit that this a common problem, could it be a problem on you guys' end?
I also can still play all of my other EA games like Battlefield 2042 and Madden 23 with no issue.
While the anticheat platform is a great idea, and super necessary, it is the thing that clearly deserved better QA. Requiring secure boot is idiotic, but the inability to develop a good program is what bothers me here. How this platform can quit without throwing ANY error messages, is proof of bad programming. You load the game, the anti-cheat splash screen shows up, the little bar underneath is grey then it turns white and it brings you right back to the EA screen, where, if you tried this for a while like I did, tells you that you played the game for a couple of minutes when you have yet to even successfully open it.
I cleared the app cache.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the game.
There are no error logs or descriptors to help me figure out where to troubleshoot this. You created a program that integrates with Windows File Integrity to create restore points and the file system filter but you don't forward any additional events or provide any ability for someone to troubleshoot what the issue is. Resulting in the blanket "reinstall, clear this, reboot that, remove every app that worked before you decided to use an EA product blah blah blah.
We spend a lot of good money on your software. The least you can do is build software that works or helps you understand why it doesn't.
Did you fix it? Mine's doing the same thing
