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.

They did not take the money and run. From my understanding, it just ended up with everything they're working on being tied to some critical update, and making it effectively impossible for them to update the existing version of the game until it's out. It was bad version control management, but not malice.

I hope so. It should have been communicated tho, because most people know think that they have just left
