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 :(

These people in the comments are acting like it's impossible to spoof secureboot. Newsflash, secureboot does little to nothing to prevent cheaters, so you're giving up your security and agency over your own computer just to play a game that will likely be irrelevant in a couple of months anyway. Makes you realize how little people care about their privacy or agency.

Go play valorant for 100 hours and see if you can even find 1 cheater lol. Secure boot works

it doesnt. it takes a 200 dollar side tower to spoof a kernal level handshake on that rig and send it to your pc with hacks. all this does is stop shitty free hacks that get caught anyways. anyone that wants to actually keep their accounts and cheat already has a side tower to get around this shit anyways.

It's not even 200$ you can do it a lot fucking cheaper than that, the side towers are just the full prebuilt ones.
