I got home late last night, was excited to finally give this amazing looking game a go, and I get hit with the "secure boot must be turned on" message. Apparently the anti-cheat requires it. Is this how EA will ruin what looks to be a good thing?

It's not a tall task for me personally, but for many this will require BIOS updates and if for some reason people are MBR they'll have to convert their drive to GPT, which isn't an easy task for non savvy people. I smell a shitstorm a brewin'.

EA can't help but ruin Battlefield anytime it can.

"Average Joe" is a trolling term since it's completely an opinion. "Overachieving" is also an opinion. - SBAllen (Hellhole: 52458377)

Secure boot is a mobo function and isn't on by default on many boards. I don't think I've manually turned mine off, it's a 2022 Gigabyte model. Even some custom prebuilts out there don't have it on by default. Stuff that comes from Dell or Lenovo sure, but a lot of gamers don't buy overpriced big brand prebuilts.
