Battlefield 6 dev apologizes for requiring Secure Boot to power anti-cheat tools

Summary
EA’s decision to make Secure Boot mandatory for PCs taking part in the Battlefield 6 open beta proved controversial, with some gamers unable to activate the feature on their machines, and others reluctant to grant the level of access required.
Battlefield 6 technical director Christian Buhl has now apologised to those affected, admitting that the team realised that it was a “necessary evil” to tackle cheating, and that it won’t solve the problem entirely.
He did add, however, that the Javelin anti-cheat tool, which works in conjunction with Secure Boot, was one of the strongest weapons the team has to combat cheating.
EA highlighted the benefits of Secure Boot in an earlier post, claiming that it can provide insights and features to help counter attempts by cheats to infiltrate the Windows boot process.
