If you are trying to play in the open version of beta Battlefield 6 on PC, you may encounter the problem: “safe start is not turned on.”
You are not alone. PC players who hope to play the latest beta version of Early Access live, they have no choice but to turn on a protected start on their computer. And a cursory look at social media, Subreddits and Ign, suggest that some have problems with it.
Bright, EA has published a user guide on how to turn on a protected start on your computerAnd he promoted this guide on social media. This is a guide that I had to operate myself to start Battlefield 6 Open Beta. But certainly requires a certain degree of trust, because it involves DIY for part of the computer, and not all PC players will immediately familiarize: BIOS.
There are things such as TPM 2.0 (which should be turned on) to deal with, and you need to make sure that the Windows disk is GPT, not MBR (not everyone will know what it is). All this, before you can turn on the protected start – and then you may not be able to turn it on, which means that you must refer to the manufacturer to get tips (GULP!).
Yes, it will not be a problem for more experienced computer players, but it will be an intimidating process for many others. And if you think it is something isolated to Battlefield 6, you’ll make a mistake. Yesterday Activision announced that the upcoming call of duty: Black Ops 7 will require exactly the same: protected start -up.
What helps all this? Strengthening the safety of the game using the built -in computer functions with Windows. It’s no secret that fraud in competitive games for many players is a huge problem for publishers. Activision spent millions trying to reverse the narrative for Call of Duty. EA will remember to delay Battlefield 6. It looks like TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot is a recent reality for PC players.
Here is the explanation of Activision, from Blog post Posted yesterday:
TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform module) is a standard, equipment -based safety function built on processors or motherboards that verify the computer start process, has not been broken. Secure Boot ensures that the computer can load trusted software only after starting Windows.
When Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 released this year, TPM 2.0 and protected start will have to play on PC. “These equipment at the level of equipment is a key part of our anti-rag activities, and we ask all players for compliance,” Activision stated.
Returning to Battlefield 6, and the process of open beta protected starting certainly caused some people to panic and others had additional problems that they had not before. Early indications suggest that there is a huge interest in the open version of Bettlefield 6, so it will be captivating to see how it develops over the weekend.
