I dual boot with win 11, I do so for programming purposes, not gaming. I read online that the game straight up blocks Linux on all fronts (typical EA). So, I booted into win 11 and launched the beta. It still refused to start and complained that secure boot was "disabled". Booted into BIOS and it was enabled, but not active. I had to reset the keys to the windows default keys to be able to play this game. This is a no go for me. Not giving them my money until they stop this bullshit. Just wanted to let everyone know the situation so far.

Gigabyte motherboards might brick on users turning this on. IIRC you gotta take the cmos battery out and use the motherboard hdmi port to reset it somehow.

To many games out there to fuck with this shit. Have fun playing BF6 yall, I wont be there.

I have a gigabyte MB. Thankfully, nothing bad happened. I disabled it again. Fuck BF6 and fuck EA.
