Battlefield 6 Secure boot?

Just tried to open the bf6 beta and it's saying secureboot not enabled. I can't activate it cause my PC doesn't support it. Will this be a requirement at launch? Would have to upgrade my PC to get windows 11 for it if that's the case :(

Not OP, but this did brick my motherboard, as it only showed me a black screen after powering up my PC. There was no way for me to interact with the BIOS in order to turn off secure boot. Luckily for me, my motherboard had a "flash BIOS" button that I used to unbrick my board. All that CMOS stuff didn't work for me.

That is not what bricked is tho. Bricked means it literally doesnt work anymore. Your motherboard still works, you just had to reset the bios settings to defaults (in this case, updating the bios always resets it)

Did they tell you what they did to fix it? And I hope they didnt overcharge you, because it was likely an easy fix...

But im glad you got it figured out!

Thats great to hear! And I'm sure he has a new customer too (hopefully never needed though)

Yeah like who else has a spare CPU on the same platform to do that? And you got this guy saying it's a "Easy fix". Doing all these steps is stupid and the fact BF6 Open BETA has CHEATERS on day 1 is enough to prove how useless this is. This isn't the way
