Demanding secure boot is gatekeeping millions of customers like me.I work at home depot lifting up heavy shit. I don't even operate machinery or fill spreadsheets because I don't know how to do math on Excel. I arrive at 8 AM and often leave near 10 PM with my spine all busted.When I come home, I want to crack open a cold one, eat my microwave slop, play a videogame and go to sleep. I am a cog in a machine greater than me and just that. I have no friends and no family to help me with my PC (the only valuable thing I ever bought).So I do not and SHOULD NOT need a computer science degree to play a Battlefield game. I want to press the .exe and have it boot. I refuse to watch a 20 minutes lecture on my little free time to learn how to fuck with my PC's settings and break something. I barely know how to change wallpapers.These devs are unreasonable and hostile to consumers. I gave up the moment they demanded secure boot from me. This is NOT acceptable.
tldrget a console
But isn't secure boot usually on by default?
>>721271390I just hate everybody these days, but I am not paid to care.>>721271786I spent all my spare income to buy a gaming PC and I'm fucking gaming on it. I'm not going to buy a playstation when I have a more expensive rig than a PS5 pro at home. I had people tell me before.I just don't want to. If I have to mess with my boot settings or whatever the fuck whenever I want to play this one game, I don't play itIt is that simple. BF6 is just one shooter, I can play the competition because they were morons
>>721270798secureboot isn't the issue, anonIt's the fact that the American government are using these companies to put on kernal level malware to turn your computer into a botnet or actively brick it in the event of a global war
You should stick to your phone, homes.
>>721272206>lil bro/unc doesn't know about call of duty implementing secureboot anticheat
>>721270798Nigga, even normalfags were able to figure it out. Why are anons now so fucking dumb and incompetent that even normalfags seem intelligent and willing to learn by comparison?
safety?always off
>bf1 was amazing, the last game made by competent devs>ea had code monkeys make bf5 on asset flips and it was underwhelming>ea had diversity hires make 2042 and it was a mistake>fuck fuck fuck we need safe money NOW>buy one of the old cod devs>and make a modern day shooter>sir, you're a genius
>>721272192no
nobody would know what to do if we were still on legacy bioses because that shit spooky af. based mobo makers for designing uefi bioses with gamer interface and fancy jpg backgrounds
>>721272623>even normalfags were able to figure it out.I work in a small shop in bumfuck small city in Poland and every single time theres big FOMO game coming up that requires Secure Boot we get shit ton of PCs like a lot. We even get bricked ones where CMOS reset or even full bios flash doesnt work somehow so they need to pay for new motherboard lmao. This already happened with BF6 Beta and recently had to go to 5 different houses because people wanted to play Valorant and that league of legends fighting game.
>>721270798You should learn more about PCs for personal growth, and because it's useful.Said this, the secure boot requirement is useless and retarded.
you can prob get a switch 2 and a game if you dump your Dell refurbished rig at a pawn shop OP
>>721270798>millions of customersBold of you to assume they still have customers
Funny how they assume I'd buy a TPM2 module for their slop
>>721274459are they assuming wrong? didn't you already preorder?
>>721274530looool
>>721272206There is no doubt in my mind you bought a prebuilt like a retard cause I spent about as much as a ps5 pro for my rig and it ran the beta near perfectly on max settings. Plus if you're too stupid to fiddle with settings why buy a computer to begin with
>>721272485I don't like the sound of this shit and I don't want to have anything to do with it. If they want me changing settings in my PC to play a game instead of making the game fit to everybody, their already wrong>>721273000All anons calling me dumb are probably right, but they are wrong if they think I am alone. a billion ways to brick your PC if you don't know wtf everything is and what has whatPeople who work physical labor shouldn't need to know how to meddle with their PC settings to know how to play a game.That is not even controversial to say.
>>721274880I bought a gaming PC because I mostly play shooters and want mouse controlsI also didn't want to spend extra money buying a personal computer and a console
>>721274894Like 80% of bricked motherboards we got were from Gigabyte for some reason lol. Overall yeah fags here massively underestimate how tech inept average person still is despite tutorials being on youtube right there.
>>721272846>bf1>Better than VNo
>>721272846>bf1 was amazing, the last game made by competent devs
this but unironically.anything that makes me waste my time and especially restart my pc is a no no.
I had no problem with secure boot but forcing me to install broken NVIDIA drivers made me cancel my pre-order.
>>721273861It's been sitting on the top sellers ever since it was announced
Hold on a second, do you retards even know what secure boot even DOES? Do you even know what it's for?
>>721272192Yes on any motherboard that was released after 2018
>>721270798Really makes you wonder how gamedevs see their customers. Do they expect us to be computer savvy? Can't they just put a leaflet in the game box that describes how to enable secure-boot?
>>721270798The linux special
>>721270798>plebbit spacing (kys faggot)literally every single banking and financial computer on earth has Win11 secure boot enabled by defaultevery new machine with new hardware has it enabled by defaultonly a low security poorfag loser who wants to get hacked would be against secure boot architecture. fucking kill yourself retarded faggot
>>721270798I assume this OP is a LARP, but, regardless, it embodies the highest values of PC gamers. Don't take this shit from EA or any other company.
>>721280854nIGGA, idgafI lift heavy shit and load them in trucks for a living, I don't care and I don't need to knowI don't even fucking know how to turn off phones made after 2021 because the buttons are all different.Their stupid for demanding people to know anything that the most average joe would not. Then we go there, buy their shitty game and brick the rig because they had us trying to do complex things just to play
>>721270798never seen so many people bend over backwards just to play 2 maps during that short preview window they had for freewhen I asked couple of them if it was worth it, they got really angry at me after I pointed out there were still cheaters guess I missed the cult invitation
this shit is like buying FIFA every fucking yearidk why you niggas keep wanting to play same-game-but-worse
>>721283968>it embodies the highest values of PC gamersBeing proudly ignorant of how your PC works and demanding it be plug and play like a console?
>>721284895That it's my PC, not anyone else's. How it's configured is none of their business.
>>721270798nice self report, shitskinany PC built within the past 8 years can run secure boot with 1 setting change in BIOS. If you're having trouble it's because you're a 3rd worlder who hasn't upgraded his mobo since 2010. Thank you EA for filtering these retards
>>721270798Yeah they are retarded for this, it doesn't even prevent cheating.
>>721283330>every single banking and financial computer on earth has Win11 secure boot loooool
>>721270798>I don't even operate machineryStopped reading thereGet your Reach certification fag
>8 years>2010anon, were you in a coma?
>>721281461lol
>>721270798>he still uses an MBR style partition scheme
>>721283330every new machine with new hardware Incorrect, Sukdep
>>721270798>too tech illiterate to change 1 single thing on your PCHo boy
>>721285031>How it's configured is none of their business.OP isn't crying because of that though. He'd be perfectly happy if they changed it themselves on launch. He's crying because he's too retarded to change a setting in his bios from false to true. You're an idiot if that's what you took from it and likely just automatically interpret any post that's on your side favorably.
>>721285617I don't think I'm the one with the reading comprehension failure here, anon. There are some context clues in the OP that you appear to be breezing past.
>>721272192I built my current computer in July. Brand new AM5 motherboard and a fresh Windows install. Secure boot was off and had to be manually enabled in the BIOS.
>>721270798this but unironically, i can't get to my bios without it hanging up or black screening for forever when i try
>>721285761>There are some context clues in the OP that you appear to be breezing past.No, there aren't. You're reading what you want to.
>>721272206>I'm too retarded to learn how to operate this equipment I purchasedLet me guess, running a 1060, thirdie?
>>721270798Anyone can follow instructions on google how to enable it.
>>721270798Just watch a tutorial anon, it's not that hard>but I don wana do eeet I don't have tiiiiimeYou have to be posting here so you have time to watch a YouTube video.
>>721285969You think a blue collar worker just decides, on a Sunday afternoon a month after the beta test, to post this rant? And he includes phrases meant to denigrate his own intelligence? Calls the food he eats "microwave slop"? You don't think maybe this whole thing is a little bit tongue-in-cheek?
>>721270798>So I do not and SHOULD NOT need a computer science degree to play a Battlefield gameWhich is ironic because someone with a computer science degree would be even less willing to enable secure boot. It's absolute fucking cancer and no educated person would enable it, let alone for a fucking video game.
>>721270798You are the target audience of consoles.
>>721270798based as fuck
>>721284415>I pointed out there were still cheatersI don't understand why people say this like it means anything anytime a conversation about anticheats comes up. Nobody expects an anticheat to make cheating literally impossible, they just want an anticheat that makes cheating a rare occurrence and practical nonissue. Saying there are cheaters doesn't mean anything unless you're having a hyperbolic argument with a third worlder on /v/.
>>721286549>It's absolute fucking cancerWhy?
hate to burst your bubble but even newer motherboard doesn't guarantee secureboot friend had asus motherboard from 2021 that not only had it off by default but it was also not working of you tried to switch it on (bios update was needed)why would EA expect normies to know any of this is beyond me, I am sure local repair shops appreciate the business though
>>721270798It's time to move on. These companies don't care about you and their priority isn't your entertainment or making an actually good game.Unironically install an Arch-based flavor of Linux like Nobara or something. If you can't play it on Linux, it's probably not worth your time anyway.
>>721286527>And he includes phrases meant to denigrate his own intelligence? Calls the food he eats "microwave slop"?That sounds an awful lot like he's insulting people for being too dumb to enable it...
>>721286878It's ring -1 malware with even more privileges than your OS.
>>721287079How is it malware? What does it do exactly, anon?
>>721284889what is last good bf?
>>721287149Long story short, it only allows jewish code to run on your system.
>>721286549>boot the pc with secure boot>play some BF6>restart PC and boot without secure boot>do other shit you planned to do than playing BF6I dont see a problem other than it being annoying desu
>>721287079I thought most RGB led control software / fan control software already use that
>>721287225What non-jewish code does it block?
>>721286878Nta but all it does is check if the code executed during the boot up is signed with valid credentials.A bit like how website certificates are used.
>>721283330>every single banking and financial computerYou have no idea.
>>721286282>>721286357Nigga, I'm not doing it. I'll brick my PC, then it might be years until I can afford it again. You people just don't understand what is to be working class
>>721270798Backup your important filesMake Win11 USBEnable Secure bootInstall Win11ez pz
>>721287740>Install Win11but why?
>>721287739>brick my PCLmfao
>>721287586thisCOBOL dinosaurs are making killer money
>>721287740Now you gotta be messing with me. You want to go to the average joe who barely knows how to turn off their phone and ask them to all this busy work so they can play an EA game.I'm just not doing it. And I don't want this to spread to the rest of the gaming industry because it is bullcrap.I don't know how to do and I'm not going to read or watch a lecture on it because a videogame demanded it.
>>721287779Sure install Win10 IOT Enterprise LTSC>>721287983It really isn't that hard though. Take a deep breath and do it.
>>721287740So not only I am not going to learn how to secure boot, I am also AGAINST anyone who puts up with this shit.This is NOT acceptable. They already demand a high end PC to even play their slop, now they want you potentially breaking your only computer so you can play their game a little bit.I am just not doing it. If they want an antispyware, they probably had options that didn't require secure boot
>>721288139Luv me IOT Enterprise LTSC
>>721283330The teller computers at my bank (PNC) are from like 2003
>>7212728461942 was the best, they gradually neutered the modding capabilities even though desert combat was directly responsible for BF1. I still miss galatic conquest and parachuting in space on to capital ships and glitching inside to kill people at turrets
>>721270798>Kernal level anti cheats>Still day 1 hacks>Tranny cat girl flaunted it for awhile before getting bannedThis is like easy anti cheat levels, the fuck do I need secure boot for this?
>>721270798Well, the smart ones will have fun and (You) won't :)
>>721270798>I don’t know how to do math on excel Download ChatGPT and it will tell you you how to do everything
unironically i am not enabling secure boot. find one person who has had malware target their boot loader. you can't. secure boot is only for evil maid attacks and i don't own a slave so it's unnecessary.
