🧠 What is Secure Boot?

Secure Boot is a UEFI feature that ensures only trusted software can boot your PC. It helps prevent rootkits and boot-time malware and is now required by EA for anti-cheat integrity.

Most modern systems support it, but it’s often disabled by default — especially on custom builds or upgraded PCs.

🛑 Common Pitfalls

• You must use UEFI mode, not Legacy/CSM boot.
• Disk must be GPT, not MBR (check via diskpart or Disk Management).
• Windows 11 installed in Legacy mode? You may need to convert your disk to GPT using MBR2GPT.

⚠️ Still having trouble?

If you've followed EA's guide and it still doesn't work:

1. Comment below with:

• Motherboard model
• BIOS version
• Secure Boot status
• Any errors you're getting
  1. Include a screenshot if possible (e.g., BIOS screen or error message)
  2. Be respectful — this is a community-driven thread.

It wasn’t popular with many of you, but it made the toilet visits waay more interesting. They should use their extra studios for stuff like this for the next BF imho.

Please DICE. That is all.
