Brick your PC by fucking with your BIOS to play our game

>>717467523 (OP)
if youre so fucking retarded you brick your pc by changing bios settings, you didnt deserve the pc.

That many are getting filtered by this makes me glad that I'll be dealing with less retards in my games. Thank you EAgods...

>>717467523 (OP)
Lmao how?

>>717467746
>>717467630
Seeing how many probably didn't even realize they had secure boot on already + people suddenly complaining while other games already were requiring secure boot is eye opening to how the memes about /v/?not playing games as being legit.
Requirements for tpm 2.0 for next cod game and the kernel shit on this are way bigger issues.

>>717467630
It's trivially easy to brick your MB during a BIOS update.

>>717468275
Except this isn't changing files in the bios.

>>717468275
>BIOS update.
you should never be updating your bios, unless youre trying to fix an issue that would be solved by doing it. no one that actually knows anything about computers will ever recommend doing this unless its absolutely necessary.

>>717467630
Secure Boot is a death sentence for a mobo. You clearly have no clue.

>Secure boot bricks my PC!
Are people really attempting to play BF6 with computers running legacy BIOSes and MBR partitioning or something?

>>717468712
Probably. But if that is the case they cannot run windows 11 soon enough so idk why this is an issue now, they won't be able to run most games period by next year.

>>717468712
Yes, because EA is instructing them to through their own written guide

>>717468862
their guide is perfectly fine. the issue is that the average bf player is barely literate.

I mean if you're buying newer parts you're going to have to mess with the bios to have a functioning system anyway, I wouldn't trust any prebuilt manufacturer with that shit

what is so secure about secure boot?

I enabled secure boot without Microsoft's keys, Windows or as I like to call it JeetOS is NOT allowed to boot !

I legit never had to jump through so many hoops to play a game, there's absolutely zero reason to defend shit like this.

So if I download league of Legends, my pc is ruined? I don’t get it. But I do notice that it seems more…sluggish. It’s hard to describe. I remote viewed my pc and it seems like Dota 2 is more strenuous on the GPU, but league of legends is like a cancer that spreads throughout the computer

>>717467523 (OP)
Part of me is waiting on the crowd saying they will move to Linux over secure boot/tpm2.0 just for them to realize the hoops they have to go through still just to run anything. Steam deck made things easier but if opening bios is too difficult I doubt they could even install windows or Ubuntu without a pre builder doing it for them.

TPM and Secure Boot has been a thing since Windows 8 a decade + 3 years ago, Anon. It's probably enabled by default on your OEM Tower.

>>717469454
Ironically, neither does half of PC gamers apparently. TPM has been pushed for like 4 years now. It's just NOW that EA is the one mandating it over MS (Win 11 requirements, which people are working around) suddenly it's a problem and people go "I'M ONLY SIXTEEN! I'M ONLY SIXTEEN!" to it.

Don't force people to fuck with their motherboard just to play slop

tech illterates should not be allowed near pcs. bf6 should not even try to instruct people. the error window should just say 'go buy a console.'

>>717470897
buy a phone or a tablet and play on consoles zoomer if you're too retarded to operate a PC.

>>717469998
Linux ironically enough WILL run on TPM + Secure Boot **AFTER** the install, depending on the Distro. Arch, for example, has the ability AFTER installing it to have SecureBoot enabled.

If EA supported Linux, this would still be a requirement for Battlefield's newest entry on there, and they'd still whine and shit themselves even if Lutris did all the work for them. Ignoring the fact an update would break Lutris' scripts becuase those are all user maintained.

People are being stupid about this. Enable it or don't, but trying to logic it as "breaking my PC" is fucking stupid.

I don't trust modern motherboards after I bought a Gigabyte one that kept installing its chink rootkit into Windows somehow. You could uninstall it and it would be reinstalled the very next boot. Threw that shit in the trash.

There are already/still tons of cheaters in BF4, BF1, BFV, and 2042. 2042 already requires secure boot, and the other three have the same anti-cheat that 6 will be using. It is useless and does nothing.

Only peaked at 24k for open beta? I was expecting more with how hype people were about it. Will they be able to beat 116k peak of Battlefield V on release? I'm starting to doubt that now.

>Why is kernel anticheat bad again?
It doesn't do what it claims to do and actually does a lot of worse things you didn't even think of. The whole point of a PC is that it's not a locked down walled garden where one company (microsoft) can dictate what programs are "trusted" to run on your machine.

>>717472305
I'm very familiar with your mom, yes

>>717472980
apart from these cheater programs, what kinds of programs even run at boot level that could be blocked by this feature?

>>717472351
Wait it doesn;t have a server browser?
Okay all hype gone.

>>717471236
>What will the excuse be when there are cheaters in the Secure Boot™ BF6?
having an intrusive anticheat like this means that cheats wont cost $10 that any faggot googling can get, it means cheats will be rare and cost $1000 and will need to be updated and replaced all the time for more $$$ which filters 90% of wouldbe cheaters

>>717468528

E. A. JEETS. Its in the STREETS.

I had to enable Secure Boot today. My main hard drive has been around since 2015.

If the beta is received well I'll bother going into my BIOS to turn this shit on. I've not bothered since I don't want to accidentally get WINDOWS 11'd but I suppose I might have to now if games are gonna start doing this gay shit.

will i actually brick my shit
what are the reqs for this newest goyslop

>>717473909
I was already disappointed by it 3 months ago in the playtests. I want to believe this build is vastly improved from those, but I highly doubt it.

>>717473325
>>717470090
I'm starting to think these "Thinkpads" are not all they're cracked up to be...

>>717474274
didn't get into those so this is my first taste. I have a bad feeling about it. there's stuff that looks interesting like the new destruction, but the cod movement and bigger focus on infantry over combined arms makes me sad. Unlocked class weapons is huge gay.

but I'll give it a fair chance

>>717471785

you'll be fine

>>717474597
PS2 is about 2.3 TB
Xbox about 1.1, Wii 2.45 (with about 2/3rds the files of PS2, larger average file size)
Even with a curated set of games, I know that I'd never play more than 10% of them
There's zero point in me having all these NHL games in there, but I want it

It's really just more about me being a digital hoarder than actually thinking I'll ever play these games

The only other game to require secure boot is Valorant on Win11
It doesn't need it on Win10

For certain definition of "server browser"
In other words - they have no server browser but they want you to think they do, so they just say "Uh, this Portal thing is kinda a server browser, so yeah, we have one!"

This is the biggest midwit take ever.

Secureboot as a requirement for a game is fucking insane.

This precludes people dual booting Linux or another OS and people using different file systems. It means some people may have to flash/update their BIOS, and in some cases also update their OS or format their OS drive.

It's fucking retarded and you're a cuckold faggot if you defend it.

lmao, this anon knows
he's been through this before

Should games be realistic?

It's not that I can't turn Secure boot on. I just don't care enough to bother doing it just to play Battlefield. There are hundreds of other games that don't require this to be enabled. They sure are cocky forcing this on consumers.
