Going into BIOS is now the new norm for pc gaming? Shitty EA practices and why people defend it
It's baffling to see how many people are defending EA saying it's okay that you have to to go into BIOS, check certain boxes in a correct sequence or risk bricking your entire computer.
>bruh it's easy it's just a couple steps
I shouldn't have to follow a multistep BIOS guide to play a game I paid for. I should just install, boot it up and play. Helldivers has kernel level security and even then it doesn't ask me to go into BIOS
>no big deal, your computer isn't bricked, you just need to flash your mobo, then change your board to the UEFI/Secure Boot setting and doing a fresh install of W10
I just lost all of my local files, what do you mean nbd I flashed my entire computer to play this stupid beta.
Why does EA expect their general player base to understand something like
>switch your PC from MBR (Master Boot Record) to GPT (GUID Partition Table) without reinstalling Windows, you can use the mbr2gpt tool
to play a video game.
What's next in the future, we have to learn python and code our own installer if we want to play a game? Games will be released to us in an unpackaged format and we have to build the package installer?
>It's okay its easy just need a couple hours of sitting down learning code to attempt this, maybe console is more your pace

Isn't it insane that gamers will not turn on Secure Boot to prevent their computer from being infected by a rootkit, but they will turn it on to play a videogame?
>>717730027 (OP)
Here's a simple step by step guide to get your BF6 game going that was posted as a main source resolution.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1mhn7rd/if_you_are_playing_on_win_10_you_must_read_this/
Sure it's easy, but it's also a wall to read. The main problem isn't whether it's easy or not. It's why should I have to do all this shit to play video games. Why should I have to take advice from some non EA-affiliated person to help run my game?
reading some of these guides, I feel i'm summoning the machine spirit and accessing menus I shouldn't be in.

>third worlder is SHOCKED that new slop doesn't run on his 10 year old PC
All the normalfags are already on W11, which requires secure boot.
The problem here is that you're an NPC, but you're also incredibly poor and expect to play the latest AAA slop on your PC that can't run it.
Secure Boot and TPM are nothing more than DRM. They serve no value and do not make anything more secure.
The new "norm" will be a lot of people looking up the means to spoof Secure Boot being on while keeping them disabled.
>>717733878
>W11 requires secure boot.
No it doesn't.
>>717733641
I’ve looked through the EA forums, Reddit etc, and do you know what I noticed?
The names.
It’s always miguelrodriguez2002 and sanjitkumarBH having issues. Even normal usernames, you click on their profile and boom; r/india, location: Nepal, location: Brazil etc.
There are next to no white people having issues with this, yet the third-world is really struggling.
So by utilizing Occam’s razor alongside the sample, we can determine that the simplest explanation is the correct one.
You’re just yet another brown person having issues that whites are seemingly immune to. No projection needed. Just pure logic and reasoning.
>>717733878
I literally have a 4090 but I'm too lazy to go through some wall of text troubleshoot guide and then look shit up and then dick around in the settings for an hour hoping nothing gets fucked up etc.

secure boot is just DRM. it ensures no bad goy operating systems or drivers can be loaded.
many computers will fail to boot if you so much as dare establish your own root of trust
the TPM is the other half of the deal. it lets corporations uniquely identify your computer (it holds secret keys that are kept from (You) , the owner of the computer) and make your devices betray you and rat you out (it generates secret keys that let programs encrypt their memory, save encrypted files, and signs hashes to make sure you aren't modding or cracking anything). (((play integrity))) uses trustzone for the exact same purpose, and thanks to it you can no longer install custom roms or root your OS (i e. have admin access)
tl;dr secure boot and TPMs are DRM and no one should have them

It should be respectable that one is technically literate enough to turn on secure boot.

SB clones came preconfigured for address 220,IRQ5, DMA1
Using anything else would risk losing audio in games that only looked for SB/Adlib clones with that config.

Genuine question: I'll probably upgrade to W11 soon and I'm wondering is there any actual benefit to using Rufus for the install media now if you have compatible hardware? The only useful looking thing on it to me is disabling bitlocker really. The Schneegans tool seems much more useful if you want a custom install.

The main concern I have is that a lot of people have said all their shit was correct (UEFI bios, GPT OS drive, TPM enabled etc) and after enabling secure boot they got stuck with a perma black screen (probably due to gpu drivers not being recognized on boot) and couldn't get into either their BIOS or windows even after clearing CMOS and the only way to solve it was to use their iGPU but my CPU doesn't have one lmao. If it were as straightforward as simply switching from disabled to enable I'd have already done it.

not how it works, anyone that wants to cheat will just use the next method that overcomes the most recent obstacle while the people that just want to play the game have to jump through increasingly invasive and stupid loops just to launch the game

To be fair if you've ever used an enterprise grade machine they really do have some shit tier UI for anything other than copying.
I (not a zoomer) worked in an office and apparently became a tech god because I actually figured out how to use the big fuck off konica minolta copy machine. When we had to scan to email said boomers lost their minds when I figured out how to scan in batches to account for varying paper sizes (AND if it is double sided or not).
The less said about pdf extraction and merging the better. I ended up turning tasks that would take an hour+ the old way into 20 minutes or less just with some tech know how. If zoomers go back to the old way productivity will plummet.

Just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you want to.
The fact I even have to open the registry to do anything in Windows drives me fucking insane, but they insist on a) putting a bunch of retarded bullshit in their OS and then b) making them optional but then also c) making them inaccessible from their regular options. They COULD do it, but they won't.
So EA for example, COULD make software that properly deals with cheaters but they won't, as if somehow I am the billion dollar company with a team of technical engineers, and not in fact, them.

But you don't know anything about programming and hardware anon. This REDUCES the amount of cheaters. To expect any method to fully remove cheaters is childish and asinine.

A ps5 slim in my NA shithole is $580. A 9700x is $440.
Im sure in your yuroshithole a 9700x is cheaper than that ps5 slim

it's as simple as not interacting with (not purchasing, not discussing, not viewing) content that doesn't align into user convenience
i will not fiddle my bios, i will not create an account to use a third-party launcher, i will immediately refund any game that insists on its own redundant launcher despite being purchased on steam, etc
curate your own experience, there's enough entertainment to last you a lifetime already. you don't need modern poopslop to fill that void.

It's not going to become standard. It is already backfiring massively for EA. Battlefield 6 is going to flop on PC and the beta is already full of cheaters. It hasn't made a single difference. They will walk back the requirement soon.

Are people really so schizo about the brown boogeyman that they would support anti-consumerism, is it shills or are /v/tards really sub-120IQ NPC NEETs?

>What is secure boot in technical terms?
it's basically locking the bootloader on a pc. i.e. it stops non-goy approved operating systems and drivers from loading
it has 0 upsides to you, the consumer

the point is to eventually turn your personal computer into a proprietary console
The TRUSTED keys inside your TRUSTED platform module will verify the TRUSTED bootloader before starting your TRUSTED operating system which may only run TRUSTED software
for that they need to give consumers a reason to turn it on in the first place, so their bingbingwahoos should require this arbitrarily
>it defends against rootkits
unless the rootkit contains a signature verified by the good goy keys your OEM enrolled, of course!

>you can sign your own keys
replacing the platform keys may brick your computer, as certain pieces od hardware rely on software signed with microshite's keys, which means
ecure boot is clearly not designed with the use of custom keys in mind
besides, you'd have to be stupid to believe that kike publishers would accept user-submitted signatures

this only applies to a small set of Thinkpads, and the solution is to simply enroll both sets of keys.

The PC Vegan Master Race of constantly trolling and platform warring meets the gatekeeper: Money. Third worlders ESLs South Americans, Indians, Southeast Asians, Eastern Europeans cannot afford modern PCs with CPUs that are supported by Windows 11 and/or GPUs that have more than 8GB VRAM.
What a parody, truly. The PCMR of /v/ and Reddit just running 2010 CPUs without SecureBoot certification in the BIOS, can't update games because they have pirated executables, tons of backdoor cryptomining running incognito in their CMDs from the piracy websites "safe" URLs, and GTX 760s 3.5GB VRAM to troll the PS5 and Switch 2. Cry out in pain.

Not that I'm against having Linux discussion on /v/ but if you're so desperate that you're bringing it up in a thread about Windows 10 then I hope this helps.
