“Really Sucked” – Battlefield 6 Developer Dice Knows Anti-Fraud Measures Like Safe Launch means some PC gamers won't be able to play the game

With the open beta of Battlefield 6 and dusting in the October 10 release date, developer DICE is preparing shooters for launch on PC and consoles. However, it is on PC that EA's anti-realistic efforts have attracted people's attention and even made some fans miss it.

PC gamers who have played Battlefield 6 Open Beta may encounter the following on-screen warning: “Safe Start-up is not enabled.” Indeed, if you want to play Battlefield 6 on your PC, you have no choice but to enable Safe Start-up. And based on open beta version Some are in trouble.

Enabling secure boot involves patching part of the computer, not all PC gamers will be familiar with immediately: BIOS (BIOS)Check out the IGN Guide for more). There are some things like TPM 2.0 (must be turned on) that can be handled, and you need to make sure that the Windows disk is GPT instead of MBR (not everyone knows what these are). All of this can be done before Secure Boot is enabled – then you may not be able to enable it, which means you need to refer to the manufacturer for guidance.

While this will be a problem for experienced PC gamers, for some it will be a daunting process. According to DICE, it knows that these anti-actual measures will leave some people completely unattended to the battlefield 6.

Speech EUROGAMERthe technical director of Battlefield 6 Christian Buhl lamented the situation. “The truth is, I hope we don't have to do things like safe boot,” Boole said.

“This really prevents some players from playing games. Some people's PCs can't handle it, they can't play; it's really bad. I hope everyone can play games with low friction without having to do something like that.”

Still, Buhl sounds happy with the effectiveness of the safety boot.

“We were very happy with the performance of the anti-casino. Obviously I would say we were never perfect, anti-chaichang was always a cat and mouse game, we kept moving back and forth and continued to keep the cheaters working. But from the beginning, we started very high priorities, so when we started the game, we had a very powerful anti-fuzzy program.”

Buhl continues: “Again, nothing makes cheating impossible, but implementing a secure boot and having kernel-level access makes cheating more difficult, and it's easier for us to find and stop cheating.”

It’s no secret that cheating in competitive multiplayer is a huge problem for publishers. Activision, for example, spent millions of dollars trying to reverse the Call of Duty narrative, while TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are appropriate for Black Ops 7 on PC.

Although safety boots have caused some problems, Battlefield 6 Open Beta enjoys huge player numbers on Steamso it will be interesting to see how it goes on when it starts up.
