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?
I am having the same issues. The game literally just goes to a black screen. Did you find a fix that works??
I’ve done everything possible and it still won’t launch. It says via Epic that the game isn’t refundable. I bought the standard edition. Surely this isn’t the case.
I had the exact same problem, in fact I cancelled my EA sub because of it. Try disabling your antivirus and firewall. It worked for me and I spent 5 days trying all the suggestions even messing with my bios which is crazy they would advise people who may not be qualified, to go in their bios and make changes. Anyway, that worked for me, I hope it works for you.
I had the same error. I have played Madden PC 22&23 on the same computer with no problems. I was so angry and frustrated that I asked for a refund.
I did what you said, and the game started. Once it got to the picture of the stadium before the beginning of the game, it froze! I didn't have this problem with Madden 23!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah sooooo this one....
The "anticheat" software EA has put into the PC version has basically caused the game to fail to launch at all. As soon as you try to open the game you're met with the "Secure boot not enabled on this PC..." message which then proceeds to crash, or rather it doesn't get the chance to crash as it just stops the game from opening altogether.
While there is a method to "fix" this issue by modifying your PC's BIOS to enable "Secure Boot" it's not a guarantee that it will work, as simply enabling "Secure Boot" does not change the "Secure Boot Status" of your PC. It's probable that you'll need to Restore factory keys within the BIOS as well. In addition you'll need to run the game as an administrator and manually reinstall and update the anticheat software by running the installer from within the folder where you installed the game.
And even after all these steps, it's not a guarantee that it will resolve the issue. It worked for me, but my buddy did the same steps and it has not worked for him.
Sorry EA but the players should not have to modify our PC's BIOS due to lack of testing on this kind of stuff. I get that day 1 bugs occur but this should have never slipped through the cracks. Needs fixed yesterday.
The fact I have to change BIOS settings to play a game is bull *
