LED keyboard not turn ON when and after playing BF 2042, why ?
1. Why won't the Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs on my Fantech Atom 107 mechanical keyboard light up (even though the Caps Lock key is still fully functional)? 2. This only happens when playing Battlefield 2042, whereas previously, the Caps Lock LED was still on normally when playing Counter-Strike 2 and War Thunder. I played all three games through the Steam app. 3. I'm still using Windows 10 22h2 full update and I don't use any additional programs from Fantech! 4. I'm using a Fantech MK893S Atom 107S Mizu Edition mechanical keyboard!
I can't get connected to Hazard zone match(never played )
I am playing from Asia (GMT+5.30) on PC via Steam / EA App and cannot get into any Hazard Zone matches. Whenever I try to queue, I end up completely alone in an empty lobby. Occasionally, 1 or 2 players will connect, wait a few minutes, and then disconnect out of frustration. I have tried queuing during multiple different sessions throughout the week, but the same thing always happens. I am trying to grind out the achievements for this mode, but the matchmaking system completely prevents it. Lately, I have also noticed that I am unable to connect to standard Conquest matches from the Asia region as well. If anyone has any ideas or workarounds to fix this regional matchmaking block—other than using a third-party VPN—please let me know. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Matchmaking not working.
Yes that's about 20 days. We all understood matchmaking is not working properly or can't play what he want to play. What about EA support? What did they do and is there any info for us ? When will the problem solved? Is there any official patch soon? Or all the players must pay for the BF6?
Appeal to EA developers/moderators
Hello everyone! I'd like to address the EA moderators. I know there are such people here. This is a topic that's been discussed for a while, but the developers haven't responded. And this is Secure Boot. My PC is fairly new, and I know how to enable it, so please don't waste your time by telling me I need to press two buttons. That's not the issue. The problem is, I bought this BEFORE this "protective" feature was introduced. This is completely unfair and unjust to players. I don't understand what the problem is?! No one says anything or complains about newer games (BF6), since everything was spelled out in the system requirements from the very beginning. Why are they taking away what I paid for? I would have already written to Steam support about this behavior, but unfortunately, that's not possible. Please remove this requirement and return everything to the way it was! After this introduction, the technical condition of the project has significantly deteriorated. There have been many discussions and complaints about this. For those who don't know or have no idea what secure boot is and think it will instantly solve their cheating problems. An engineer's response: This issue in requiring secure boot is first off it was never designed as an anti-cheat tool or to even remotely aide anti-cheat tools. The purpose of secure boot is to stop unauthorized software from running at boot time and to only boot from authorized sources. It also helps in preventing some malware from being installed in certain places without your knowledge. Some malware is rootkits. However the question that has to be asked in regards to this fanciful secure boot is what exactly is an authorized software? Does that mean the owner themselves of the system doesn't make the decision what is or is not authorized? The answer is yes the owner does get to decide what is or is not authorized its the whole point of secure boot. It is to secure it from unauthorized software. By default without doing any changes secure boot uses the keys that were provided with it. However, you can remove these pre-configured keys and just put your own, sign the kernels and software with your own keys and everything will pass the secure boot checks because all secure boot does is checks that the software is digitally signed and that the key used to sign is one that is recognized as being trusted. Whether it be microsoft's or your own if you added your own into the list. As you can see secure boot is not a mechanism for a third party to use to validate anything, rather for whoever owns or is using the system to validate that nothing outside of what you authorized can be installed especially in sensitive areas. Secure Boot is more useful to organizations then it is for some individual however some individuals may like the added protection. However it is a hindrance to PC builders or even those who simply have no issues upgrading their hardware as certain configurations of hardware may not allow for secure boot to be enabled or you may be forced to downgrade the bios version which may mean losing out on any functionality or fixes that an updated bios version offered. If you dual boot you may not be able to have secure boot enabled. As for secure boot being enabled by default is actually not the common practice because microsoft requires OEM's that secure boot being able to be disabled in order to have that microsoft logo on their computers they are selling and for good reason too as secure boot was not designed for everyone. Windows 11 requiring Secure Boot is just that. It only requires that the system be compatible with secure boot not that it must be enabled. This is why cheaters will still exist and the reason anyone is seeing cheaters more is not because it is working rather the majority of the legitimate users simply are not playing due to this change preventing them from one reason or another. This will not stop cheaters from using root kits simply because they can tell windows that its legitimate software and trusted and thus passes the secure boot checks and we are back to the original problem and if anything it will be worse since now the Anti-Cheat can't say the rootkit is untrusted or whatever else and must accept that it is since the system itself said it was. In conclusion it makes no sense for any game to require secure boot as it was never designed as a validation check for a third party rather it was only designed for whoever was running the system or organization to ensure what is running at boot is what was approved and you could just allow cheat software to be on that approved list and it doesn't make it any more easier for an anti-cheat tool to do anything nor does it make it more difficult for someone to cheat if anything it makes it easier to pass the validation checks. Overall this change just made it harder for legitimate player base to play the game or at all. So many people are disillusioned that they can no longer access BF2042. Previously, there were a stable 6,000 to 12,000 players, but now there are barely 1,500. So, I'd like to address this to the moderators. Please pass these thoughts on to the developers. These aren't just one person's thoughts. They represent the views of over 6,000 players.joining game issue
Whenever I try to launch a co-op game, it starts the count-down, goes to a black screen, music is playing and then it kicks me back to the menu. I tried joining my friend, thinking it was a host issue but the results remain the same. The issue appeared ever since the latest update.
