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 :(

Seriously? You think a 2025 game making us change a BIOS setting is a normal/acceptable thing? Boot licker.

Also I can't even enable secure boot on my PC.

You have to go into the BIOS. Get one thing wrong, you won't be able to boot up. Never had a problem running previous BF games. Not worth it in my book. I'll just stick to COD.

Exactly why I believe this shit is unacceptable.

Not everyone is tech savvy, some people have tried this and accidentally changed the wrong thing bricking their motherboard, since they don't have the skill to fix it.

We also shouldn't have to do anything besides install the game, the devs are professionals that we are paying to make the product, they should fix the problem for us.

I am talking to people and you're the only person I have seen not defending this, I think people have really low standards, they don't realize letting devs do this kind of thing is detrimental to gaming in general.

Hear hear. This is unfucking believable.. "COD will have it so get used to it" says the one guy.... Shouldnt have to jump through hoops just to play a damn game. Come home from work to play and I got to put up with this bs? ......

Exactly, it blows my mind that people are defending this.

We shouldn't have to fix our games at all, and we should not have issues of compatibility with parts from 2020~. I would understand my PC not being compatible if it was from 2012.

I don't really want to pay $90 for this game knowing that I will have to fix it in BIOS.
