Secure boot? WTF is this shit? I just wanna shoot people. I didn't sign up for an Einstein quantum physics project just to play a game!

TELL US IN ENGLISH DOC WE AIN'T SCIENTISTS

If you're using a PC so old that SecureBoot is completely unknown or unavailable to you, you probably don't meet minimum system requirements anyway.

If you do have a PC for it, well then you're a PC user which means you SHOULD have the computer skillset to tinker for 3 minutes. If you don't then stick to consoles, they're good if you just want to plug and play.

i don't know, i'm not poor so i didn't have this problem

>>717634961
I'm not tinkering with shit to play a game. I expect it to fucking work on its own

Your local store probably has a PS5 that will suit your needs nicely.

Lol im not doing that to play battlefield of all games

unbelievable that retards keep posting "heh, maybe consoles are more your speed..." over a battlefield game.
you are not impressing your fellow crayon eaters.

dis nigga hacking da planet

I have secure boot disabled on a modern system

off by default for a reason

>>717634659 (OP)
>game require secure boot for muh anticheat

Literally what'd the fucking point

>>717634659 (OP)
I tried this work around but i get an error message even if i use the correct disk.
Apparently i have some corrupted disk problem. I can't turn on the UEFI settings. It's literally over for me.

what's wrong with that cat?
fuck you for posting this

If your game needs kernel access to protect from cheaters, your game is shit.
Vanguard, Ricochet, BattleEye, are all dog shit at protecting from cheats and only serve to cripple legit players systems.

>>717636169
"Normal" people don't need to be on pc. They can fuck back off to consoles.

>>717634961
SecureBoot is available on my system. I don't use it and don't want to use it. There are no legitimate use cases for it. It does not improve security, and imposes unnecessary restrictions on my use of my own hardware. Certainly no video game needs it. This game *wants* it, but it cannot have it, at least on my system. In the trash it goes.

>>717634961
i have a 5070ti and a 9800x3d and i have to back up and reformat my C drive just to begin the process of me playing an open beta. at this point im just gonna buy a 4tb nvme drive and make a new C drive...

>bro just like... haha okay, get this, just BRICK your fucking windows install when it fucks up and like, bro, reinstall KEK

Secure boot is a false concept - it's just locking into what MS wants.

>>717642498
Animal torture clip, anon
Its basically a vibrating basin of plastic stuff that the cat is paralyzed with since its legs can't fucking move

i believe I have to convert my drive to GPT to make it work, will I lose data with doing that? Nothing is at risk just games I have installed.

>>717643029
yeah i dont see myself buying bf6, especially not for full price. there is just about no point at all when bf4 exists and is still active lol

>>717643480
yeah i gotta do the same thing. from what people say, it sounds like your data probably wont get raped in the process. id do it if the only risk is redownloading.

>>717642697

So true xister!

>>717643480
>>717643612

It depends.
If it's just literally for games and there is NOTHING else, at all, then do it
Otherwise, don't do it.

Essentially what it will do is fuck up the drive itself if other drives need to speak to it
So like, say you have two drives. And the non-GPT one has some sort of data, anything on it, even a launcher or a mod that another program needs, you're shit out of luck

Basically, if you're okay with deleting all your stuff on it now (to the recycle bin), then testing the shit out of everything and it all works, go ahead and obey daddy and convert it to MS's desired platform to be read from

>>717634659 (OP)
Just install Windows 11, it's that easy.

Also Secure Boot (+TPM) is the new thing games will implement going forward because it will tie your account to your hardware, so if they ban you for cheating, your entire CPU also gets banned and you will need to buy a new PC. It's the same thing Sony has been doing for decades where they ban your console if you cheat, but on PC is just for that one game.

That's... not happening, by a fucking longshot

Your hardware ID is unique but like, you do realize how easy it is to change your hardware ID, right?
You can fuck around by changing your fucking mac address on a basic black bitch device like a dock and get a new hardware ID

>>717642201
>>Bots in servers
is this why I'm seeing 3 dudes jump out of the same window and get shot in the back with a shotgun

>>717643909
This isn't your typical mac address shit, it's being enforced by the TPM hardware key which talks to the CPU. The only thing that can talk to the TPM is the secure boot, that's why they are pushing this. Cheaters are going to get their entire PCs banned.

apparently hasn't been affecting me much, my 4tb hdd is already in gpt, but the ssd I want to convert is in mdr, and my OS ssd drive is also in mdr. So idk what the fuck happened there.

>>717644116
You're not familliar with this level of stuff, I see.
The entire hardware ID is down to a unique address tied to your Windows account BUT...

that's the goal,
You can EASILY fucking bypass this shit with a local account
MS want complete control over your data, hence the idea of secureboot and it will push to a MS account online soon as it has been for a few years with Win 11 launching

Realistically you'd just use a modified ISO to avoid all this, including the pre-boot bios check

>>717644405
Don't touch your SSD
What you can do for a simple check is the following:
Copy all your non OS SSD drive shit to a folder on the HDD in a new folder on the HDD
Then erase that SSD. Don't wipe/convert/format/whatever, just delete it all through ctrl+a to highlight it all

Then run every single fucking program that was on it. Anything that doesn't work, take note. then you can compare what you need/what you don't have

>>717635091
I don't think it counts as a lost sale if you go from not buying the game to doubly not buying the game.

>>717642784
You're retarded and don't know what you're talking about.

>>717642992
No, you obviously don't need to do that. Do 2 seconds of research instead of spending 80 years as an idiot.

>>717636169
Normal people have it enabled by default.

>>717644724
>Normal people have it enabled by default.
No, they don't
What happens is MS wants to be able to fucking check every little driver you have. It's why it was made

It's why the fucking concept of open source is used to day
Is Windows the basic black bitch of OS? Yes and I love it
Is MS wanting to fucking rape anything it doesn't like? Yes

It's not needed and never was. It's there to make sure 'non approved singings are not a thing'

>>717644426
That's not how the TPM check works but whatever. That's what they want to do, you can continue cheating if you want, just know that you will need to buy a new PC soon.

>>717644724
t's disabled by default 99% of PC users don't even know it exists.

>>717644884
I didn't say TPM. I said 'this stuff'

Keep up, chicken.

That's not secure boot, you fucked something up.

Hi there, friendo! You seem to be trolling which is not allowed.

thanks for beta testing retards

>>717634659 (OP)
can i reliably fake a secure boot for battlefield to shut up or is it too hard/impossible right now?

>>717645703
Impossible right now, loonix fags are seething everywhere.

do they realize most normies are gonna see an error message, not understand it, and just boot up WARZONE ?

>>717645971
secure boot on linux is easy as hell man

>>717646846
Ok then, play BF6 and you'll help the entire linux community.

>>717634659 (OP)
I'm not doing all this just to play some shitty beta, if you're retarded enough to allow EA full access to your computer that's on you but I'm NOT eating the bugs, I'm NOT living in the pod, I'm NOT owning nothing and I'll NOT enabling secure boot.

>>717646997
nobody said anything about running bf6 on linux, quit being retarded

>>717634659 (OP)
>Secure boot? WTF is this shit?
DRM, anon. secure boot has zero upsides for the consumer. it stops any bootloaders not whitelisted by corpos from booting
the TPM for its part is a DRM chip that betrays you and rats you out to corpos (stores inaccessible keys, lets programs isolate their memory so you can't snoop around, signs messages notifying the mothership that you aren't modding anything, etc.)
and last but not least, you take a substantial hit to performance for using a TPM

>>717642784
secure boot has one use case (setting your own keys and signing your shit yourself to stop others from booting anything YOU don't like). needless to say, the corpo kikes will demand keys they control to let their garbage run, so you're more or less correct that secure boot is useless to the goycattle

>>717641485
>remembering that embarrassing thing you did back in high school

>>717649808
and don't forget blacklisted drivers
if you have hardware with blacklisted drivers ("insecure drivers" in corpo kike parlance), your vidya will throw a shitfit until you uninstall them
reminder not to let corpo kikes own your computer

Claims it does it in place. It just moved the ESP to the end of the disk allegedly when using /allowFullOS
Validation steps doesn't list bitlocker as a checked hazard though and it supposedly supposed to be "suspended" before used.

modern PCs already come with Windows 11 preinstalled, normies will be fine. It's the redditors that refuse to upgrade who will suffer.
