so its a good option]

[stone tapir]

i hates rams sm omfl

but i’ll try that

ty

[vital quail]

you can fly behind the cubes to reload flares when you need to

bots also have really good aim for rockets so dont fly too low

[stone tapir]

i swear man but with everything else they suck, but when it comes to a single rocket it’s like they have v.a.t.s.

[teal merlin]

Is there a advanced search? Cause I can't find matches

[vital quail]

no

[teal merlin]

Ah okay

[jaunty anchor]

So they finally did the bios anticheat thingy now?

[rustic saffron]

yea and some people cant turn secureboot on

here is something can help reverse it back and make it optional

also here is the same thing in reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1ky8fnl/secure_boot_cant_be_on_for_old_gpu_because_they/

i think if people send more tickets about this they will fix it in the next update

[untold citrus]

Already tried that, pc just crashed... Even the game crashed

[untold citrus]

Why do you need to send the same crap ticket a billion times? Why not allow a vote to happen...

[teal tusk]

even if you have secure boot on it doesnt work... ive not got a game installed that i cant even play due to a bad update

GG dice

[teal tusk]

secure boots not looking to be the issue its easyanticheat_eos.exe being incompatible with kernal mode hardware enforced stack protection

[modest gale]

I’ve gone into my bios settings multiple times and can’t find where to turn secureboot on

I have gigabyte

[shadow marsh]

Is there a "security" tab? or something like that?

[obsidian tide]

Weird. I managed to get away with a RX 580 and Secure Boot On years ago. It seemed to work then; not sure why it isn't now unless driver version is too old.

[misty pewter]

its a not a driver issue some older gpus lack the GOP compoent of there vbios

e.g they will not work in any mode other then csm

[obsidian tide]

Will need to check that personally, but at least with other Easy Anti-Cheat games (Rising Storm 2, World War 3) the incompatibility has yet to show itself. Maybe the mounting of EA Anticheat is failing due to that anti-cheat requiring reinstalling to repair or something. Dunno, can only speculate right now due to not encountering symptoms.

[misty pewter]

sinless is correct

it will cause a conflict

altho I am not sure why because this is a known issue and eac has had months to years to fix it

[obsidian tide]

I will need to recheck my PC to see if that feature is enabled or not.

[misty pewter]

it doesn't matter if its enabled on yours or not

not all varients of older gpus got the update

or if they did it was never installed because flashing a vbios is a good way to brick a card

gpus dont have the inbuilt recovery of a modern uefi system

I really don't understand how do you keep finding ways to make it worse ea

its truely impressive the ways you fail at basic comprehension of how computers work

nobody should be needing to muck around changing bios prams. or flashing there gpu to play a title this old

you wanna launch your crappy inhouse ac fine do it with battlefield 6

leave the 16 people still playing 2042 alone god knows you owe them that much

[untold citrus]

Let Dice fix stuff on their end... Instead of us having to constantly change things

[misty pewter]

its not so much the breakage that annoys me its the complete unnecessariness of it

gets deadhorse beating stick

secure boot has zero impact on cheating. Getvar is not a acceptable way to check the status of secureboot and secureboot on or off makes no difference to cheats being injected AFTER the Os boots which is basicly all of them

especially on a older system. especially on windows 10 or 11 24H1 or lower

but even assuming you got a new machine with a fresh os load sticking to microsofts defined recommendations. theres aproxmently 10 different ways you can bypass secureboot because the AC doesn't accually check secureboots fuctional status mearly if the os is returning its enabled or not

if you can't see the problem with that well cheating in a video game is the least of your problems

christ they got people running around playing 2042 in a vm clearly secureboot is going to fix that (because you can in fact enable secure boot for vms)

[vital night]

in squad 1 LF Chill folks NA

[obsidian tide]

The Scream Test for this update appears to be showing very apparent results.

[slow canyon]

is this the official ea discord server

if i express my hates toward ea, will i get banned

[obsidian tide]

One of them, yes. Consult #rules .

The most you may be able to do without infringement is passive-aggressive disdain and generalized complaints. Direct insults may infringe.

[slow canyon]

ah okay thanks

[untold citrus]

I'm getting tired of these stupid af crashes, whether I'm leaving the server, dying, on a killstreak or just walking around...
Get your shit together

[slow canyon]

the ea ppl who thought of "secure boot" is insanely "smart" and should be praised by gaming industry

just when i thought ea cant do worse, they somehow manage to do so

its absolutely ridiculous, forcing players to brick their pc

changing their bios to cater the game

players who listened and accept such bu11shit are just as evil as ea

[untold citrus]

Me disabling EA app on startup, game doesn't even start anymore...

[obsidian tide]

EA only thinks in OEM Prebuild from 2018+.

[modest gale]

I’m pretty sure there was a boot tab and just settings

I also never had tpm activated so I did that too

[muted wagon]

deleting the game worked for me

[hazy pewter]

I got a question, on the battle of the bulge, how come I cant spawn a heli in, but others can?

[gleaming nimbus]

gg time to uninstall battlefield cuz it won't launch 🙂 even when doing the damn steps to enable that stupid boot thing

[quiet sonnet]

Ngl im having a feeling they purely added secure boot required because that 2042 has been having a lot of easy anti cheat crashes and stability issues

[untold citrus]

Anything that has to do with booting or other stuff shouldn't be happening and dice should know that...
I shouldn't have to roll back 2 updates, only to have BSOD

[quiet sonnet]

It doesnt make sense to add it for anyother reason

[obsidian tide]

*EA Anticheat. It swapped from Easy Anti-Cheat to that midway through the Seasons.

[quiet sonnet]

Yeah sorry meant ea anticheat

[obsidian tide]

Which heli is it?

[hazy pewter]

uh1y i think

hold on

uh60**

[lone gorge]

hello guys, wtf is the secureboot. Tuto is just hell! end of the game by update...

[obsidian tide]

Secure Boot is, in theory, an already-enabled component of Windows 10 and 11 in OEM PCs intended to offer some protection of the bootloader.

In practice, however, EA Anticheat may not be able to mount correctly in spite of it purportedly being enabled, or it may have come disabled by default if your PC was old enough, or it was disabled due to the motherboard used in a custom build having it turned off by default, or other hardware or software in the PC may not be compatible with it anyway for whatever reason.

In any case, right now, all that can be done is finding ways to make the breakage not be broken anymore. Case by case basis.

[stoic sandal]

why I sometimes get that intro loop glitch?

usually happens when logging from Steam but on EA app might happen at first but 2nd time it works

[obsidian tide]

EA Anticheat is hanging on launch. This is bad.

What antivirus software do you use?

[merry crescent]

what has happend to the game now?

[stoic sandal]

the normal Windows one? But I play on laptop and I istalled it on my external drive(cause it has 2TB)

[obsidian tide]

My guess is EA Anticheat may not like that configuration. It will always install itself to a location on C:/; it will either expect the game to be on the same drive, or on a constantly-connected internal secondary drive.

Otherwise, Wi-Fi or other connectivity matters may be something to look into.

[misty pewter]

install location should not matter what might matter is the speed of the drive

and or if the usb connection is experiencing issues

[chilly jacinth]

I wouldn't recommend playing off of an external drive

Many larger games won't play nicely with it

[peak ivy]

@frank charm @humble parrot Im gonna kill you, prepare

[frank charm]

go ahead and try

[remote kiln]

no, the usb protocol is inherently limited in bandwidth transfer speeds, so this is/can be absolutely a determining factor

external drives off usb for games is bad, it's not a question

SATA, is fine

[peak ivy]

what's your kd

[misty pewter]

usb is fine so long as its usb 3.2G2

but that has no bearing on the game not accually starting

even use 3.2g1 gets pretty close to sata thoughput

espeically if you have uasp avaiable

so no don't generalise

[stoic sandal]

well, game works good.

[dusk falcon]

good evening chat is the an 94 unlock requirement bugged?

it says to get "headshot kills from 50 meters away or more" but whenever i use a sniper or a dmr it doesnt work

apparently it only works with assault rifles

man this sucks

[shadow nest]

What is the bug that I cannot join my freinds

i have to invite them to my party

i cannot join a party

one step forward 400 steps back

[frank charm]

Who is VexSunshine? I keep seeing him in my matches

[twin mortar]

Never seen him.

[obsidian tide]

That is what semi-auto and having an attachment slot for a 2X or higher scope is for.

[arctic grove]

I've made sur secure boot is enabled and the game still can't launch, wtf am i supposed to do ?

also why even introduce that in the first place

[night raven]

Imagine when hacking into a player. Instead of disrupting them, it just fills their screen with porn or some shit

[obsidian tide]

How far into the launching process are you getting before you know for certain it is failed, to remind?

Eh, never mind.

[untold citrus]

How come I have the T1 mastery of a gun, yet in statistics it says only about 1100 kills?

[obsidian tide]

I will be focusing on a different project at this time: Determining a method to definitively clear those welcome banner messages that show between the Connecting To Online Services screen, and the main menu. Useful for dealing with things like the repeated Newsletter Subscription Welcome messages saying you earned a free MV-38 Condor after already unlocking it, or the Irish Vector skin.

[obsidian tide]

Was that enough to clear its Tier 1 mastery requirement for the skin?

[untold citrus]

I have the badge if that's what you're talking about, not the trophy

[arctic grove]

bruh why did they remove sundance's other 2 grenade types ?

[obsidian tide]

Oh, huh. Maybe do a few more kills with it to see if it pops.

[arctic grove]

did vehicle mains whine again ?

[waxen heath]

Does the RPG one shot the night bird?

Or little bird

[vital quail]

Yes

[waxen heath]

huh didnt know, ill use that instead of the ntw next time i see one

[obsidian tide]

NTW can have a lot of drop compared to other rifles, but maybe that depends on attachment.

[untold citrus]

Anyone else using Paik with her specialist?

[waxen heath]

the bfp so badly needs a nerf

[waxen heath]

it does not, it only has 2 ammo choices of AP and AP that does 5 more damage, no barrel choises

[obsidian tide]

Oh, well, I guess trying to use it for the 200m headshot kill requirement for the XCE BAR once lended to this idea.

[waxen heath]

the AA missiles so badly needs a buf, in at minimum range

its so hard to use when every other air vehicle has 30s of flares and 30s of steath each with a 60s cooldown

it just feels impossible to actually kill air vehicles with the dedicated anti air weapon

[queen harness]

Then there's me, the second I spawn in any aircraft 20 AA missiles and wire guided missiles comes for me and im busy doing barrel rolls avoiding them.

[arctic grove]

chat is dead

[obsidian tide]

Oh well.

[acoustic seal]

game is dead

[burnt spindle]

have they fixed the secure boot thing yet ?

[obsidian tide]

No/Not on a large-scale basis. The most that can be done right now is for affected users to manage to personally mitigate it on their own.

[rain violet]

Ask the cheaters, they clearly got around the issue no problem

[zealous loom]

[stuck kestrel]

I've been getting an error while trying to launch 2042 "SecureBoot is not enabled". I looked up how to enable it, and it bricked my PC and it took me 5 hours to fix it

Does anyone know a work around? This only started after I recently updated the game

[misty pewter]

looooooool

fucking told you so

not directed at you sol

@stuck kestrel but currently no work around that doesn't involve a equal level of fuckery

[stuck kestrel]

Funny enough this isn't the firs time 2042 bricked my PC

Did the same around the game's launch but for some other unknown reason

[misty pewter]

what broke if you don't mind me asking

unsupported gpu or mbr2gpt asshattery

[stuck kestrel]

My mobo coincidently bricked when I first tried launching the game. Not sure if it was caused directly because of 2042, or just by chance

Had to get a brand new mobo

Was due for a replacement anyway at the time so it was whatever

[misty pewter]

yes but what broke this time

because I been bitching at this idiots for like 3 days saying this is gonna cause issues and there like naaa it wont

id love to know exactly what your issue was

[stuck kestrel]

My PC wouldn't boot once I changed to secure boot

[misty pewter]

blacksceen ?

[stuck kestrel]

yep

[misty pewter]

so your gpu didn't have a gop enabled vbios

[stuck kestrel]

One of my irl friends who works on computers came over and fixed it but took him forever

[misty pewter]

I take it a cmos clear didn't fix it

[obsidian tide]

What board, GPU, and CPU do you have, anyway? So it is known.

[misty pewter]

that has nothing todo with anything

[obsidian tide]

Look, I am only curious at this point, and looking to gather information on what kinds of systems and parts, and how old those parts are if they happen to run into the problem more often than others.

[misty pewter]

what likely happened is his gpu does not have a GOP complient vbios and since secure boot implies pure uefi

no video

and if a cmos clear didn't fix that was probly caused by the bios defaulting to uefi and not autodetecting that csm is required

I see it all the time

iv also encoutered a few boards that just bug out when switching from csm to uefi to the point where a bios reflash is required

but thats mostly addressed with bios updates

[obsidian tide]

Which most users do not or may not do, as that requires hunting through OEM bloatware, or searching for something that is esoteric to someone who only got the PC for a social or productivity use case first, and might assume the PC is just meant to handle that on its own.
(I am thinking of Dell and HP websites and support assistant programs as examples in making the above post.)

[waxen heath]

i dont get why the bfp hasnt been nerfed

[misty pewter]

well the tradional logic has alwasy been if it aint broke dont update the bios

the bios is the last thing you should ever touch when trouble shooting (usually)

[obsidian tide]

Or "That's not something you should mess with if you are unsure of yourself. Leave it to someone who seems to be more intuitive with it."

[misty pewter]

those vendor support programs are the first thing I kill with rightious fire

last thing I need is a ticket at 8 am because the users ignoried the flaming update in progress do not power off your machine warning

and now has a dead board

[obsidian tide]

"I just want/need to get back to work! Why is this thing taking so long, anyway? Doesn't it know I need to be up to speed soon?"

Absolute classic.

[misty pewter]

my reply wellp go home take two weeks off

because thats how long this is gonna take

[burnt spindle]

sucks i alr went into my bios and made sure secureboot was on not sure what much else i could do

[misty pewter]

affected users should simply uninstall the game and go do something else

vote with your presence dont support this nonsense

[thorn topaz]

this secureboot crap is dumb

my bios mode is uefi, tpm 2.0 says it is ready for use and enabled in bios, windows disc is gpt, and bios says secureboot is enabled

but in system info, it says secure boot state is off

i have a b650 aorus elite ax mobo

Yes, with reduced XP.

[thorn topaz]

nah sadly

[obsidian tide]

Right.

[bright bloom]

what about unlocking guns, like get 10 kills with a specific gun

[obsidian tide]

Those work as normal, usually.

Well, I at least found this article for anyone trying to do the manual conversion to UEFI and GPT partitioning process, for users that are not you.

it was a bios glitch supposedly

[obsidian tide]

Okay, splendid. Now your case is able to rest.

Well, besides maybe flashing a newer BIOS firmware version if you want, but that is your call.

[dark cove]

Yeah. My best friend can't play this game now cause of the secure boot

50% just lost access to the game

[obsidian tide]

How old is the friend's PC?

[wise hatch]

whats up with this new BF? im not able to play, i have to change bios and stuff like that.

[obsidian tide]

Secure Boot mandate or else EA Anticheat blocks the launch.

[dark cove]

It's custom built.

I just don't want him to break his computer by accidently changing something in the BIOS. I've done that once before

[remote kiln]

just update it

[arctic grove]

How long does it take on average to reach level 60-70 in 2042 ? I wanna get the AT rifle but the leveling feels so slow

Wack

[untold citrus]

Apparently weapons from bf3 don't count toward the achievement...
Didn't even think about that, till I read it and saw that the gun was from bf3 😑

[obsidian tide]

Only 2042 guns and such count towards the default Tier 1 Mastery achievement. The Portal ones exist for skins and/or player card emblems.

[untold citrus]

Wish I knew that before I started grinding, but it's okay...
Just need to grind out the hazard zone ones.

[crude niche]

What is this secure boot nonsense? Don't I need that already for win11 or am I confusing that with something else?

[obsidian tide]

Yes, it is the same one. Now EA Anticheat is checking for its enablement, and refusing to follow through with game launches if it believes the user's hardware supports it, but it is not enabled correctly.

[crude niche]

But I have it enabled.. I had to go through all that to get win 11 installed a while back

[floral patrol]

looking for someone to help me with complete the Irish requirements for phantom project

[obsidian tide]

Well, apparently, EA Anticheat believes otherwise. Toggle it off and on again to see if it mounts then.

[crude niche]

I'm not sure but I don't think my system will boot if i do that

[lucid pumice]

the last update fuckup the anticheat i was already with the secureboot enable and i try to disable and enable back nothing change now i'm not able to play this game wtf even i uninstall the game and download it back ...

[safe pumice]

How is 2042 these days? Haven’t played it in forever, I remember last time I played it was absolutely broken and terrible

[crude niche]

it would be nice if EA would stop being super cheap for a minute and they actually spent some money to figure out a user friendly way to stop cheating instead of this junk

[untold citrus]

I have no clue what you're even talking about

[safe pumice]

Is it still that awful specialist system that no one asked for or do we finally have classes? Is there an actual scoreboard now or is there still none?

[crude niche]

spoiler alert - if they take away all the guns from all the classes then other people will just start complaining. they're screwed no matter what they do people will winge

[vocal tusk]

Best thing they can do IMO, is to make the signature weapons have a good enough buff for using them on their class(Like headshots with bolt action as recon making the hit player unrevivable), and debuff on classes without bad enough (Without being too bad)...that everyone is happy.

[crude niche]

Everyone happy? What mystical realm do you exist in? 😉

[vocal tusk]

Well no one can fully be happy 100%. But 50% happy on both parties, instead of 100% on one, 0% on another is better for me

[crude niche]

Yeah that's more accurate. If everyone is disappointed you have compromise.

[vocal tusk]

I mean...it wont really be 50/50, as if they keep them unlocked, it will be more like 80% satisfaction on the side wanting that

[obsidian tide]

The Specialists were grouped into classes, and exist to provide a specific Gadget and passive perks.

There is A Scoreboard, but it still cuts off players past 64 bar anyone near your own position if on 128 players..

[quaint niche]

How to fix Secure boot ?:(

[obsidian tide]

Wait, I have a bright idea.

For those with Secure Boot already enabled and detected as such in Windows Security, would turning off Fast Startup under Control Panel Power Options and Restarting be a potentially easier way to get EA Anticheat to mount?

[crude niche]

I have the problem, and I have fast startup disabled. So no I guess.

[chilly jacinth]

Have you ran a repair/update for the anticheat too?

[crude niche]

How do you do that?

[chilly jacinth]

Go to where the game is installed

and then open the anticheat folder

run the anticheat.installer

[dreamy mason]

battlefield 2042/EAAnntiCheat re run it

Do both

[crude niche]

There seems to be two installer exes in this folder, odd

[dreamy mason]

thats ok

installler toool

[chilly jacinth]

Doesn't matter which one you run

[dreamy mason]

^

[crude niche]

Starting UpdateCheck...
Starting InstallationCheck...
ServiceQuery success

UpdateCheck failed:1902

^what happened when I clicked "update"

[obsidian tide]

Installer.Tool.exe is the one that usually gets executed automatically, but both work.

[crude niche]

trying repair now

Repair might have done something, trying to run the game now

[dreamy mason]

good luck

[crude niche]

no luck

Still doesn't work

[dreamy mason]

Did you hard reboot ?

might help

[crude niche]

I will try

[chilly jacinth]

Did you pick 2042 from the drop down menu btw?

[crude niche]

Yes. back from reboot, trying again

Didn't work. Still says secureboot is not enabled

Thanks for trying. Guess I'll just not play 2042 anymore. Plenty of other good games to play. They better not screw this up for BF6 though

[dreamy mason]

You will need to goi into Bios

[crude niche]

It's set up correctly in bios

[dreamy mason]

you see csm ,your in the right place

as eufi

[crude niche]

I have no intention of changing anything in my bios, secureboot is already enabled.. i'm washing my hands of it

[dreamy mason]

jthats fair

[chilly jacinth]

Mine was on by default but broken so i had to turn it off and on

[crude niche]

Mine is not on by default or broken

I set it up

Anyway, thanks for trying to help. Hopefully you'll have better luck with someone else

Yesterday no crashes, now I just crash every few games... What a joke

[subtle onyx]

Hi, I've been trying to play BF2042 for a few days now, but as soon as I die the game freezes and closes without giving any error messages... Any idea where this is coming from?

[remote kiln]

which board is it?

[untold citrus]

Same problem, nothing fixed yet till EA comes up with an update...

Can verify game, update or go back to previous version, scan your entire pc, edit the files, disable overlay...
Literally nothing works

[subtle onyx]

Even if you check the game files, graphics drivers, etc., it all comes back to the same thing. 1 death, 1 crash🥲

[untold citrus]

It's not that the game crashes on deaths for me, it's just random as hell... I can be in spawn screen, running, death animation or shooting
Game is unstable.

[subtle onyx]

Indeed, it's becoming very problematic...

[untold citrus]

Yesterday I thought I fixed my crashes, I stopped crashing...
Now I've had like 5 crashes in 90m...

[subtle onyx]

I've just tested this by changing the AMD Drivers ( 25.3.1 ), and so far I haven't had any crashes!

5 crashes every 90 m.. Better, but still boring...

[crystal island]

did you use DDU to uninstall the old drivers first

[subtle onyx]

Yes

[crystal island]

what gpu

[subtle onyx]

but not DDU. I have use AMD Cleanup

[subtle onyx]

AMD Cleanup Utility is not always as thorough as you need it to be. DDU is.

i would try DDU make sure to check the ADV options in DDU check all that apply

i have a 7900 xtx runing the 25.5.1 no problems here are you running a overclock

[subtle onyx]

I just have the “rage” mode activated on the CG.

[crystal island]

try defalt

[obsidian tide]

If it doesn't merely crash (turn FPS Category off under Performance and see if it mitigates, and also no OC profile), this driver version will definitely potentially suffer driver timeouts during settings changes in-game, and DXGI_DEVICE_HUNG kinds of crashes at worst.

[crystal island]

i run a custom profile with a modest oc and undervolt

[obsidian tide]

I use Default profile.

[crystal island]

i wish adrinaline would let you customize the fan curves whille be in defalt mode

set the ram to default frq and fast timings only

[remote kiln]

there's no gain to be had for this since it's vram specifically

just causes instability

[crystal island]

if i push the frq i get crashes but setting the vram to fast timings np and about 10% better perfomance

43ms is typical for US East server instances.

[crystal island]

could be due to cyberwarfare from all the war going on sadly

[kindred flint]

so now i cant play 2042 because i dont have secure boot enabled? wtf is this update

[crude niche]

a mistake is what this update is

[glass rune]

LMFAO EA Case manager approved my $143 CAD refund for this garbage. gg ez nowhere in any terms or the system requirements is this listed., request EA support and escalate it. worked for me 😄

[kindred flint]

when did you buy it?

[glass rune]

11-11-2021

[kindred flint]

bruh

im more concerned with you spending $143 funny money

[glass rune]

i fell for the hype bro 😦

[kindred flint]

forgor no b word

i mean i pre ordered the deluxe version a few days before launch.. but spent less than the normal cost

[glass rune]

NORTHERN MONOPOLY MONEY BE LIKE

[shut geyser]

Honestly secure boot is prob the biggest trash update of them all they need to remove that update straight away no shot im gonna enable secure boot just for bf2042 u think secure boot will stop cheaters? lmao cheating developers have 100+ ways to bypass that bs another EA L

[crystal island]

another one

[shut geyser]

u dont even need to disagree

so many players will leave the game now cause rather they cant or wont enable secure boot simple as that

[crystal island]

cheaters a huge problem anything that reduces them is good

[shut geyser]

"Reduces" you mean the cheaters that using a menu which will get an update from the cheating dev within 2/3 days to bypass that bs system? dont make me laugh

[crystal island]

just enable secure boot it takes 3 mins

[shut geyser]

Wont change a thing i just deinstalled the game

[crystal island]

ok then

[obsidian tide]

Not yet, but the recency of the change enabled the dispute of it to work.

The EA play agreement may only make reference to it in generalized terms, further enabling contesting it on the basis of vagueness.

More importantly, the recent change enables leveraging the EA Good Game Guarantee to get the game refunded on the basis that it is no longer a Good, Functioning Game.

[crystal island]

Enabling Secure Boot helps stop cheating in online gaming by preventing unauthorized software from loading during the Windows boot process. Some cheats attempt to inject themselves at startup to bypass traditional anti-cheat systems. Secure Boot ensures that only digitally signed and verified software runs, making it harder for cheat developers to manipulate the system.

For example, Battlefield 2042 recently introduced a Secure Boot requirement to combat increasingly sophisticated cheating methods. This approach is similar to what Valorant implemented earlier, though it has had mixed results, with some players reporting technical issues. While Secure Boot isn't a perfect solution, it adds an extra layer of security to maintain fair play.

copilot resposne

[quiet sonnet]

never seen a cheater in 2042

im also fairly certain that it doesnt really work that way

im actually prettty sure that secure boot was just purely something to stabilize the game with as a lot of people had crashing issues with the game

[crystal island]

then why are people still asking for help with crashing

[quiet sonnet]

like yes the secure boot is there but what stops them from getting cheats after booting? lol

[quiet sonnet]

game bad dice cant develop it

[crystal island]

why are you in this discord if you hate the game so much

[quiet sonnet]

i dont think theres many people that genuinelly enjoy 2042 theres just really nothing else comparable to play

[crystal island]

wtf???

[quiet sonnet]

i can name more issues in the game than you could point out good aspects

[crystal island]

COD, arma, squad, delta force........

[quiet sonnet]

2 of those are milsim games (lol) and the other 2 are just outright garbage aswell

cod isnt even playable on mouse and keyboard

[crystal island]

you are toxic asf

[quiet sonnet]

delta force has gunsmithing which inevitably just ruins weapon balance on top of it theres badly balanced maps that dont really work with some pretty bad gadgets

lack of content and updates is pretty major

[quiet sonnet]

no

if the games were good id say they were good

[crystal island]

like every game past 2019

[quiet sonnet]

🤷‍♂️

[quiet sonnet]

ye shooter games have been going down hill

dying genre

[crystal island]

why are you in a battlefield 2042 discord if you hate the game

[quiet sonnet]

1- this isnt particularly a "2042 discord server"
2- ive been playing battlefield games ever since battlefield 4
3- i make battlefield 1 content
4- to see what people are talking about and what the direction for the new battlefield game is

or just ingeneral maybe help out someone with some specific questions if possible

its a server to discuss about battlefield and thats what im doing

[crystal island]

this is the 2042 channel stay in the main if you hate 2042

[quiet sonnet]

why does it matter

[crystal island]

all you do here is complian about how the game sucks and it dead and you hate it

[quiet sonnet]

okay

[crystal island]

TOXIC

[quiet sonnet]

im sorry im not glazing your favorite game? am i supposed to forcefully swallow down all the garbage and gag as i say the game is good?

and besides its not like i hate every aspect of 2042

[crystal island]

leave your review and move on. it will be better for your mental heath

[quiet sonnet]

just like any other battlefield game it has its own issues

[quiet sonnet]

youre the one whos crashing out over someone saying something you didnt want to hear lol im perfectly fine

[crystal island]

yes and this is a place to discuses them not carp on some one because you dont like the idea they have

[quiet sonnet]

what idea

also i was within literal sense discussing

[crystal island]

dude what is going on in your life

[acoustic seal]

"you can only talk about the game if you have something nice to say about it" is crazy work

[quiet sonnet]

?

[acoustic seal]

what if it just fucking sucks

[quiet sonnet]

quite literally all i said was that "ive never seen a cheater in 2042 and i think that secure boot was more of just to decrease the amount of system errors within the game" because balanced performance settings for pc hardware has seemingly made the game more stable

[crystal island]

then why do you get on a 2042 channel to just say the game bad and dead

[quiet sonnet]

it has the smallest playerbase out of 1,5 and 2042

[acoustic seal]

because the series used to be better? and it really wouldn't be hard to go back to that?

[quiet sonnet]

it has had some of the most negative reviews

[crystal island]

look how triggered you guys are being

[quiet sonnet]

no ones triggered

[acoustic seal]

like fuck me for trying to steer a franchise i liked back into its own lane right lol

[crystal island]

talk about the future of BF in the main channel

[misty pewter]

im triggered

[quiet sonnet]

idk why but battlefield players are and always have been like this

they just like whatever dice produces for them

for no real reason

[crystal island]

they dont go look at reviews for 2042

[quiet sonnet]

ofcourse people look at reviews and overall critics of the game before buying the game

its bound to impact sales and playernumbers

and as you can see it did because 2042 has the lowest player count out of the 3 most recent battlefield games

[crystal island]

saying the game sucks and is dead is not a discussions about what you like and dont like

something in your life has got you pissed off and trying to attck people online for their opinions

i like anything that helps stop cheating and fair play everything i have put forward and everyone else you attack as if there stupid

[acoustic seal]

this does not help stop cheating, that's the core of the problem

it stops a theoretical class of cheats that nobody is using because it's a pain in the ass and EA AC is incredibly easy to work around in other ways

[crystal island]

Enabling Secure Boot helps stop cheating in online gaming by preventing unauthorized software from loading during the Windows boot process.

[acoustic seal]

nobody is injecting cheats at boot and especially not for frostbite games, i can assure you

[crystal island]

helps not 100%

yes they do

do you think a company that valuse dollars is going to waste money on dev time for something that does nothing

[acoustic seal]

yes

EA is not the brightest shovel in the shed

[crystal island]

and you are

[acoustic seal]

they couldn't even be fucked to proofread their support page or warn people of possible soft bricks

[quiet sonnet]

"during boot process" nothing stopping you from getting cheats after boot process

[crystal island]

yep a faliure to update a web page

the anti cheat is monitering the system after boot up

[quiet sonnet]

its impossible to completely nullify cheating, i also really do not think that 2042 needed it because there really arent many cheaters in that game

[crystal island]

their are tons

[quiet sonnet]

never seen any

[crystal island]

you play on the new gen version?

[quiet sonnet]

on pc yes

[crystal island]

and you have never seen a cheater.... thats sus asf

[quiet sonnet]

not really

there just arent any

idk what to tell you man

[acoustic seal]

i've seen like a single digit amount of cheaters and that was back a couple years ago when the game was actually somewhat relevant

80% hsr type thing

[crystal island]

i have emails from ea says other wise banning players i have reported

[quiet sonnet]

im also pretty sure that fairly known cheat creators announced that they wont make cheats for that game as its just

not good

[crystal island]

go look on youtube just type battlefield 2042 cheaters your so wrong or part of the problem

they are actively showing and selling cheats

[quiet sonnet]

watching 1 player who made a video on cheaters, he got shot from the back with an SVK 2 shot kill

he then gets revived

gets 2 shot again

and he thinks its sus

[crystal island]

hold my beer

[quiet sonnet]

gets out TTK'd by a pp29

thinks its cheating

gets shot in the back again thinks its cheating

the odds of you actually running into like 1 genuine cheater is almost impossible

[quiet sonnet]

cheaters are obviously an annoyance but you just really do not see them in bf2042

[crystal island]

you guy probley are the cheaters and are doing your best to gaslight and stop anti cheat devs

[quiet sonnet]

right

[crystal island]

you say theres no cheaters i show you some one selling cheats publicly and thats just one person hes selling them to the public ie lots of people

[quiet sonnet]

you sent 1 person sharing months old cheats that didnt get a lot of views and those views dont indicate the amount of people that actually bought them

[crystal island]

omg you need IRS doc as proof what lolol

[quiet sonnet]

never seen a cheater in 2042 for the past 3 years

secure boot is just random and i cba going to bios for that

[crystal island]

ok then dont play battlefield i dont like cheaters anyways

[acoustic seal]

unless there are a shitload of xim/cronus users out there playing this game, people really aren't cheating

[crystal island]

sus asf

[quiet sonnet]

yeah figures

youre sussing people through leaderboard

[crystal island]

it what you showed

[quiet sonnet]

legit doesnt even have any indication of any form of cheats

[crystal island]

no indication yah iam not scanning your pc but it doesnt mean your not or are just means sus asf

[quiet sonnet]

why

no valid reason then how can i be sus

💀

[rain violet]

I just saw 4 yesterday lol

[crystal island]

how many tickets in match how many bots what weapon

[rain violet]

why does this matter

https://tenor.com/view/picard-facepalm-oh-no-oh-hell-no-no-gif-10723914200679373178

this guy

[quiet sonnet]

does it show if someone has damage modifiers? does it show if someone has wallhacks? does it show if someone has aimbot? does it show if someone has bodylock? does it show if someone has speed cheats? does it show if someone has radar? like good christ man

its just a leaderboard

[crystal island]

this guy thinks there need to be a ful FBI investigation

[quiet sonnet]

you cant even call out if someones wallhacking without actually spectating the player

which you cant do in 2042

[crystal island]

this is what cheater use to gaslight people into not thinking their not cheating

[quiet sonnet]

ive moderated servers in older battlefield titles were we had like around 6k players banned (this was before 2042 release and early bf5 release)

community servers*

[crystal island]

so

[quiet sonnet]

im pretty aware of what cheats there are and what they look like and how to look for them

[crystal island]

how would that stop you from cheating now

[acoustic seal]

the baseline questions you should be asking are what is their hsr, accuracy, are they in a vehicle or sniping, do they have info they shouldn't (walls/esp), etc

[crystal island]

most cheaters say cant beat them then join them

[quiet sonnet]

you havent even watched me play

and youre hackusating me

says a lot lol

[crystal island]

there are cheats that let you select the hsr, accuracy

[rain violet]

Modern FPS really should have replay modes as standard these days, it'd help a lot.

[quiet sonnet]

ngl theres so many ques in battlefield that you really cant call out walls without spectating

especially in 2042 where people adore tugs

[crystal island]

they would complain about it not be a tradtional bf thing

[quiet sonnet]

even that really wouldnt be very telling i think usually the behavior of wallhackers is them within literal sense just preaiming walls or checking walls towards enemies

there was a cheater that we took 2 years to catch

because he was also good at the game it was super hard to say if it was gamesense or wallhacks

[crystal island]

so the devs should do nothing because they cant stop it 100%

[quiet sonnet]

theres like an endless amount of ques, you hear footsteps, you have minimap spots, a lot of other audio ques, you can tell where people will be or come from from just reading the map and your teams locations/their deaths, specific directions they could be coming from, open flanks they could come from

[quiet sonnet]

no i just think that secure boot is a random implementation for something that ultimately wont resolve cheating that pretty much doesnt really exist anyway

and it only just drops the active player count because not everyones going to bother setting their pc up for secure boot

[crystal island]

not 100% yeah but alot of them

[quiet sonnet]

or they arent knowledgable to do that

or they have set up their pc in specific overclocks underclocks that secure boot will just entirely reset

https://steamdb.info/app/1517290/charts/#3m which is also visible from here

a very hard sharp drop in playernumbers

[rain violet]

Yeah definitely not a foolproof system because, as you stated, people who are experienced are far better at hiding it. I personally worry less about them because it's genuinely difficult to determine and typically make up a small percentage.

It'd definitely help with the private stats option for aimbotters and the inexperienced wallers though. Also make for good content in general.

[crystal island]

this you ? https://battlefieldtracker.com/bf2042/profile/origin/I_Pickle_You/overview

what then why are you in this discord

just not very interested in farming console players

[crystal island]

this is letraly the 2042 channel

[quiet sonnet]

yes and we are dicussing 2042

[crystal island]

but all you do is complain that the game sucks its dead anything the devs do to stop cheating and you complain there too lollolol but you dont play and you share a 100+ kill game pic lolllollolllol

https://tenor.com/view/spock-dazzling-display-logic-star-trek-gif-16343803

[quiet sonnet]

i just gave you a multitude of reasons on why i think it doesnt really impact the game and if anything it has lowered playercount

i can also name various reasons to why i think the game is bad and also note out some good things about it

[crystal island]

yes for a min it will and hopefully a bunch of cheaters will just quit

becuase the game "sucks and is dead" to much trouble cheat in

[quiet sonnet]

out of curiosity are you born and raised american

[crystal island]

now we going to star throwing insults

[quiet sonnet]

no

[crystal island]

then what does it mater are you European

[quiet sonnet]

i was genuinely asking

[wet pelican]

I was born on vacation

[quiet sonnet]

i just find your sentences funny

like not within proper or well spoken english

[crystal island]

i suck at key board and mouse am working on it

[quiet sonnet]

this isnt an insult btw

[crystal island]

yes American

[quiet sonnet]

its fine to have bad english i dont care i was just wondering

alright

[crystal island]

i just made the swich to pc have been play BF on the console for 20+ years

them old school COD lobbies was wild

team chat on bf 3 was wild

[rain violet]

I disagree with Pickle on a few things but even I agree the change was not only negligible in reducing cheating, but in regards to changes is also hilariously low on the priority list of things to implement. It also probably blocked more legitimate players than cheaters due to BIOS understanding from the general user base and the issues that came from it (EG systems bricking in some cases)

[crystal island]

yes

[rain violet]

I'm all for adding levels to anticheat but make it worth the while.

[crystal island]

but i think in the long term cheaters do more harm

[rain violet]

Well they haven't done anything about that anyway, and secure boot probably impacted more average PC users.

[crystal island]

yes probley but over time that will sort it self out

most pc's in the last 15 years secure boot is defualt

[wet pelican]

AI anticheat spectators are the future.

[crystal island]

hopefully they make a huge dent

ok iam done with my remote work for the day time for some pew pew have a good one everyone PTFO

[lavish oyster]

anyone had problems with portal games rebooting PC since last update only seems to happen on portal games that have un linked settings for ai had my AI wound up speed and Advanced now it crashes PC

[ocean arrow]

I have an MSI motherboard from 2019 and it was not enabled. Had to spend half an hour looking up videos and poking around in the settings until I could enable secure boot. All the while stressing because multiple people have apparently bricked their PC's doing the same

[kindred flint]

bricked might be a strong word, but fucking up momentarily seems like a good one

[waxen heath]

is the SWS the sniper with the most range

[wintry gorge]

Please Dice, Don't make matchmaking suck in the new game.For the love or God, please 🙏

[vital quail]

dxr is for longer range sniping

but sws has faster fire rate

what you really need to focus on is bullet speed and dxr has it beat but from what other people have said is that its too fast to see where your bullet hits because of the recoil

[burnt halo]

I prefer xce bar tbh

its really fast

in terms of fire rate

it only has a velocity of 965m/s

sws is about 1,100m/s and dxr is about 1,300m/s

[edgy oxide]

Hey guys, i just updated 2042 after a few month being away and it kept asking for secure boot to be on, and my stupid bored brain couldnt help me with not poking around bios and i turned off csm and turned on secure boot And now im left alone with my pitch black screen, do you guys suggest anything i can do or i should calm down and just take it to someone who knows how to reset bios?

[hollow knoll]

It looks like your windows was installed using MBR (for csm thingy) (GPT supports UEFI)

I would suggest turning back on csm and disabling secure boot, boot into your windows, search how to use MBR2GPT and go from there

If you really need to reset bios you take out CMOS battery (google is your best friend in situations like these)

[lunar vessel]

bro u will find option reset setup mode u will find it will start working

in bios

[edgy oxide]

thanks for youre time, i did google and it suggested the battery and the cmos plug thingy but im really afraid of touching the hardware, do you think i can make the changes via finding my route according to my bios overlay images on google?

[hollow knoll]

Can you get into bios at all? It would be weird if you cant

[edgy oxide]

tbh i dont even know if i can get into bios or not, my screen is pitch black and i dont have graphics on cpu itself

i could just spam del and use arrows and hope for it ig

[hollow knoll]

You should do that, yes
Reboot and spam del

Also do you know your motherboard model?

[edgy oxide]

i already tried to reset settings by this way but didnt work, so i will for last time try to turn csm on and save it hopefully it works otherwise gotta find someone for it

[edgy oxide]

gigabyte b365 m f3 bios

Bedanket euch Mal ohne kis wäre das alles unmöglich

welp its not working

And Hype Donald elonx.om

Mces to xD

[hollow knoll]

What is happening tho

[edgy oxide]

nothing

[hollow knoll]

Not even bios splash screen?

[edgy oxide]

display is totally gone

[still forge]

Wait g

[edgy oxide]

pitch black

[still forge]

Stop r pls

Wait Moment i donprefer

[edgy oxide]

i tried reseting bios blindly but i see no restart happening which means i did nothing

[still forge]

Wow i dont can send Pictures xD

OK search DC acc moonlighgamertv#9914 Mayo DC have donaktiv stuff Like them acc XD bec ther are Mad xD

[hollow knoll]

Whar?

You mean you restarted pc and there is no difference? Wdym no restart happening?

[hollow knoll]

Also random question - ur hdmi/displayport is in gpu or motherboard? (If you have gpu it should be in gpu)

[edgy oxide]

whenever i edit my bios and save, my system automaticlly restarts itself, when it does this my mouse and keyboard lighting also restart with my system, but when i try to do the same (i dont even know if im in the right place cause i cant see anything) my system does not reboot itself

[hollow knoll]

Wait so you are trying to navigate bios blindly? o.o

[edgy oxide]

gpu, my pc was working fine i just tweaked csm and secure boot option and my display died

[edgy oxide]

exactly by looking at my bios ui image on google😂

[hollow knoll]

Well this is cursed, i dont think i can help any further, im sorry
I would reset cmos battery at this point, but as you are uncomfortable doing that - idk what to suggest

[edgy oxide]

i guess i'll just take it to someone to fix it, thanks for your time again, i wish dice had this time with its community

[edgy oxide]

i apreciate it brother, god bless you

[hollow knoll]

Wait, do you have nvidia and use display port by any chance?

[edgy oxide]

i use nvidia gtx1660

[hollow knoll]

I've seen some forums say that for display ports you need to install additional drivers (if csm is disabled)
Because you have a blank screen and well cant install anything, you can try switching to hdmi

[edgy oxide]

i'm just going to find someone dont worry about it

[vocal tusk]

Have you just reset the bios completely to try get display back?

And does it show no display at all, even pre-post

[median pivot]

im late to post this but is there any known fix to the widespread issue with the PC friends list not working after the last update?
Is there a fix?

nope

[acoustic seal]

all cpu

[indigo topaz]

Cheers, first time playing it on PC as I moved from console

[acoustic seal]

yeah there was some patch back in season 3 that randomly doubled the cpu usage for no reason and cpu has been the bottleneck ever since

[vocal tusk]

Both. A good CPU is required to allow the game to work as well as it can (2042 optimally wants 8c/16t or higher) but if you have a terrible GPU, youll also have low FPS regardless.

[vocal tusk]

It wasn't for no reason, prior to that change 2042 dramatically under performed on higher core CPUs.

[acoustic seal]

good news, it still underperforms but now with the added bonus of choking out core 0

[vocal tusk]

My 7950X only used 10 threads

Ive never been able to reproduce the utilization issue on a properly managed OS. Ive even gotten 2042 running on a 4690k relatively well.

The only systems on which I have been able to see core utilization issues, are those 8/9000 series Intel CPUs that have no threads (9600k/9700k). And that issue is caused by the windows scheduler.

[kindred flint]

1-10, whats the possibility of EA reverting the secure boot requirement? since i dont feel like going into my bios for a game thats end of life

[robust siren]

aint no way

[acoustic seal]

i would say "90% chance it gets carried into the next game" but you can never count on EA/dice to do the logical thing

[misty pewter]

im just sitting here enjoying watching it burn at this stage

anybody got some marshmellows and a pointy stick

[kindred flint]

nah youre right that would get carried over, but good shit like squad call ins, or the building mechanic get left in the dust from bfv

[misty pewter]

the building mechanic was stupid

players make poor map designers

you can either build cover into your map or you can hope the guy playing enginner with a AR takes time out of there day to build you some cover

which do you think is more likely lol

[kindred flint]

anyone could build

[obsidian tide]

What horrible tech support events have been happening today?

[misty pewter]

and yet nobody ever did

[kindred flint]

riiiight

[misty pewter]

No idea I stopped responding at this stage I am just gonna let it crash its self out

[wraith flame]

who was that lazy dev who needed to add this requirement for secure boot? Fire him on the spot

[dreamy mason]

o just joking 🙂

i like to see scum bags in the game

[vapid vessel]

Cant play game even when everything has been set right !!!!!!!!!?!

[frank charm]

@gritty pawn hey bud, why the ghost ping?

[tough mortar]

secure boot ftw

they should make it a hard requirement to play

why wouldn't you activate it--unless you're running some suspicious kernel mode cheats

[jovial spire]

I have Secure boot enabled, TMP 2.0 game still says secure not enabled when I launch. wtf

[brittle wind]

Please bring back infantry breakthrough DICE

Release BF6 now or bring back infantry BT 😭

[misty pewter]

I love how people are equating secure boot with blocking kernel mode cheats

which is NOT what it does

[tough mortar]

yes it does

it doesn't prevent all cheats, but it does prevent the normal ways to get windows to load a illegit kernel mode driver

[misty pewter]

it only blockes unsigned drivers

lol

[tough mortar]

per definition signed drivers are "legit"

test signing won't work with secure boot

[misty pewter]

injecting at boot as fallen out of favor anyway kids are exploiting vendor software and SMM lol

ea being late to the party

but the problem is really there is only two ways to check if secure boot is enabled one Call GetVar from the kernel which calls the Uefi getvar to read the secure boot on / off register from the uefi or cryptographically validate the boot chain

ill let you guess which one ea is doing

facepalm

[tough mortar]

with secure boot+VBS+remote attestation you can at least prevent most cheats

[misty pewter]

yes with all 3

[tough mortar]

don't know how far they're going

[misty pewter]

so only checking one is a terrible idea

vbs is optional because it breaks eac

and again and I am getting really tired of repeating this

secure boot ONLY protects durning boot

once the OS is up it does nothing

you can still map your exploitable driver into memory and off to the races

[tough mortar]

they need to start somewhere

[acoustic seal]

it'll probably be kept going forward cuz of the incoming battle royale, but you never know with EA/dice

[misty pewter]

there seems to be some fundemental misconceptions on secure boot but its in the name its for securely-booting- the os

once the os is booted it doesn't matter you can do whatever you like

[tough mortar]

you can't use kernel mode anticheats with vbs, it needs to be embedded in the process

and that might be enough

[misty pewter]

the next infinity stone to be use will be the SMM one good luck detecting that

the hackers always win they have unlimited time resources and motivation

[dim tendon]

Did they fix the secure boot thing yet?

[misty pewter]

No lol

[dim tendon]

I had mine on and I was getting a pop up saying it wasn’t so idk what’s going on lol

I deleted the game cause it’s bs imo

[brittle wind]

There won’t be any SBMM in BF6

[misty pewter]

they either need to force secure boot + tpm + r-attest or they need to live with the fact that they are limited to what they can do inprocesss

nobody is talking about sbmm noob

system management mode

[dim tendon]

Is that the same way riot does their anti-cheat?

[misty pewter]

more or less

you either commit to being full draconian or live with the fact that you must respect other software on the system

personally I choose the latter

[tough mortar]

there's some interesting cpu based memory encryption that could be used too

[dim tendon]

At least their method is much easier to implement from a user’s side (I don’t have to go into my bios for theirs)

[tough mortar]

that would probably defeat smm attacks

[misty pewter]

half mesures like this just make you look dumb to even the basic skiddys on public boards

[dim tendon]

Sorry for my ignorance, what is an SMM attack? Am a computer engineer, just no experience in hacking lol

[misty pewter]

if you are running your code inside for example the platform security processor ...you are god

[acoustic seal]

we love half measures and lame middle grounds in this washed ass franchise

[tough mortar]

a co-processor used for system level management tasks embedded in your cpu

[merry heart]

[misty pewter]

it just blows my mind because all they are doing from what I have been able to gleen from public posts on various forums is they are checking the uefi var if its enabled or not my guy that was bypased two years ago lol with a uefi driver

I swear its like these anitcheat devs are worse then the skiddys copy pasting ce tables

make no sense to me at all

[tough mortar]

apparently some people are willing to pay more to cheat to win than the gamedevs are willing to pay for anticheat tech

[misty pewter]

What I wish they would do is just pay riot for vanguard and stop trying to do this themselves or commit to the full dystopian maximum draconian Marxist secure boot TPM hardware back to test station monstrosity that breaks into our systems

But this half measure stuff Lord you get all the bad none of the good

[waxen heath]

I really hope bf6 has a bow instead of the crappy crossbow

or at least a bigger crossbow

[misty pewter]

Keep your pointy sticks out of my war zone thank you

[tough mortar]

nah, they should bring back the phantom

[waxen heath]

bows are the top level of stealth smh

[misty pewter]

My guy a jet just exploded overhead and a rocket just missed my rectum by 3 in stealth went out the window at match start

Stealth what are you talking about there's a drone circling the map that paints bright orange Doritos on your face

[waxen heath]

well im hoping that next bf doesn't have everyone with team LEDs all over their character

[misty pewter]

greater chance of blinky stroblights to cut though the sandblindness

you are gonna want to close your curtains with playing bf6 so a 747 doesn't try and land on your roof mistaking you for a airport

naa

[wraith flame]

EA on Linux, bad luck. It won't happen until SteamOS steamrolls Windows

[misty pewter]

just uninformed decisions being made for share holder optics vs sound programming reasons

I am sure some middle manager thought this was a great way to show how good there rebadged ahem sorry new anticheat was

[waxen heath]

there needs to be more AC dedicated for linux

[misty pewter]

No there needs to be community run dedicated servers

so we can take care of the problem our selves

you notice all this catterwailing about cheating falls right in line with the disappearance of community run servers and relience of client-heavy networking

in 30 years of gaming I don't recall the noise ever being as bad as its been the last half decade

fun fact its entirely possible to write a game engine thats well for lack of better parlence not as easy to cheat

examples of things: don't inform the client about other clients status until the client absolutely needs to know don't broadcast to every client the postion of other players unless they need to know about it

examples include line of sight uav reveil ect

don't give the client authority to determin if the player is alive or or dead or there health state dont allow the server to keep updating clients if they are 'dead'

perform raycast checks on walls to ensure that clients can't determin the postion of objects behind a wall untill its time

I would dead game is dead anyway

https://tenor.com/view/youre-welcome-gif-2309461136654146376

[crude niche]

I have secure boot enabled and it still doesn't work. EA is a joke

[misty pewter]

many boards don't distinguish between secureboot on+custom and secureboot on standard most call this otherOS or "windows uefi" select the later

[brittle wind]

They should either give everyone glowsticks or they should completely remove 3D spotting imo

[waxen heath]

whys that

[waxen heath]

that would be expensive as hell for performance

[brittle wind]

I'm a person of extremes, either have full visibility or zero visibility

[misty pewter]

naa minimal

[brittle wind]

I dislike ''middle ground'' visibility of BF3-4-1. I'm not sure if I'm spotted or if I can flank in those games, in 2042 I behave like I'm constantly pinged so helps me survive, in BFV I behave like I'm never spotted which makes me pull of insane flanking moves in the middle of firefights 😂

[misty pewter]

if your game engine allows things like god mode and unlimited ammo to be at all possible then you are doing it wrong

the issue is stuff being clientsided instend of server sided or lack of checks on those things

which isn't anticheat persey its just good programming not to allow a client todo things outside of its scope

[chilly jacinth]

It's so easy yet no game engine ever is free from people creating hacks

[misty pewter]

things that should always be server sided "player resources (health ammo, armor, ect) things that SHOULD be server checked. Player postion player to player visibility and general world state

its not about being hack proof somebody will always find a way but lets not hand them the keys todo whatever they wish

an example a game client should not be-able to set there own health / alive death state nor should they be-able to set there own ammo state

that should always be server side. so should the damage calculations

put it out of reach is just good practice

if the server decides you are dead or out of ammo then you don't keep playing / shooting because the sever simply will not update your gamestate anymore untill you are alive

nothing to hack if the server doesn't inform the client of whats going on

but then somebody decided we should not have our own servers and they don't want to pay the extra for properly running them for us so we get wierd hybrid client-authoritive type issues where the client has WAYYY more say in the game state then it has any buisness doing

and then you get god mode and unlimited ammo rage hacking

wallhacks and aimbots are bit more tricky as the client will need information about player positions EVENTUALLY you can mitigate the wallhacks by only Updating the client with the latest player postional data WHEN IT needs it thats slightly more expensive for the server todo but if you manage it correclty it should not be a problem

but you can pretty easily and cheaply limit the effectiveness by not informing the client of postional data for entitys say ... on the other side of the map or outside X radius of the client

but it does require good servers with a fast enough tickrate and ablity to handle the task of unlagging crappy connections determin who shot first ect ect

all basic stuff game servers did 20 years ago but has fallen out of favor for monatary reasons

and its EASIER

[faint dagger]

Hey boys, Im not really interested in enabling secureboot... Just tryna gauge, how many people feel the same? Should I just move on to battlefront 2? My friends tell me it's popping off.

[high lintel]

Hello does anyone know if the rendezvous card is still obtainable because it’s hidden or smth and if what are the exact requirement because idid it and didn’t get the card also does it work in private servers

[kindred flint]

theyre too busy milking the "5060 is bad like we all thought"

[versed vine]

is it normal that the game stutters every now and then? I average 200fps all ultra, I have a rx9070xt and i712700k with 48gb of DDR4 ram and I don't understand why it stutters

can someone help me?

[kindred flint]

48gb? hows that get split up

[versed vine]

because i have 32gb due slot and 2 slot 16gb

ahahah

[kindred flint]

are they different timings too

[versed vine]

they have all 3200

[untold citrus]

Cuz the game isn't optimized, that's why...

[obsidian tide]

What driver?

Alternatively, what Intel board architecture?

[obsidian tide]

Did you mean the Rendezook playercard, known as Fractal Reasoning?
(Add Rendezook to your autocorrect dictionary.)

[remote kiln]

yes on the latest Radeon drivers it's not stable for battlefield games, wind back to 25.3.1 or earlier

also your ram will not be in XMP with multiple sticks, they have different timing configurations to one another, they automatically downclock to the lowest possible

[versed vine]

ahh

so i need to change the ram?

maybe?

[obsidian tide]

This user has since left the Discord server, or has been removed from it.

[obsidian tide]

New AMD drivers have shipped. Version 25.5.2. Will check release notes when able to.

[obsidian tide]

All it does is add support for EA F1 25. No word on mitigating issues with Frostbite engine games.

[wise heath]

Take the aek out of the game

[obsidian tide]

AEK is seldom used from what I can see.

Maybe it makes for a bad day on Reclaimed, but other maps, it may vary.

[rain violet]

And it's not even a great weapon, and has issues like reload delay.

Definitely far superior weapons to it.

[acoustic seal]

that guy's brain is fried dont worry about it

[long axle]

Any groups that I can join here, as I learn how to work as a team here?

[orchid tusk]

what? groups? whatdyamean? in Discord?

[inland breach]

Thanks EA for the wonder that is secure boot. Absolutely a braindead decision and I am not risking bricking my PC to play BF2042..

[copper rock]

Anyone not able to launch the game d/t secure boot being off?

[tough mortar]

no

only hackers cant

been using secure boot since 2018 or something

they should ban everyone who haven't voluntarily used it after it become available since there is no reason not to beyond stupid cheats

a system with worldwide (government-approved) ID would be great

cheat one time - permanently banned from online gaming for life, no re-do.

one time immoral, always immoral.

[naive ember]

Keep dreaming bud

[tough mortar]

well then execute them

[naive ember]

[tough mortar]

well if we could get 70% of the wealth id'ed we can just say frawk it it the rest and permanently ban them for fraud

what are they gonna do, complain their mastercard was declined?

well, my opinion, in my humble opionion, is there is no redemption.

think about the immense VALUE it would grant everyone else if you could with a certainity ban every cheater

i would pay for that

[naive ember]

When I used to play I only seen them in CQC

[vapid vessel]

fck this fcking shit with this fcking secure bot

[vapid vessel]

i can not launch it even when i set everything right

[bright bloom]

i try to use aanj7z aim practice but i get a error

[obsidian tide]

I have a small idea. Open Windows Security, click on Device Security, and go to Security Processor. What is its Specification Version and Status?

[slow canyon]

word

[vapid vessel]

Ban me ya crap

[slow canyon]

by word i mean true

[vapid vessel]

😂 oh sorry

[onyx stag]

is anyone else's game not launching ?

[kindred flint]

because i didnt enable secure boot?

[azure pivot]

yup same. i did the bios fix and still not working

[gloomy wyvern]

Imagine playing breakthrough being the anchor ram, legitimately being the sole reason they haven't taken the sector because you have actively placed beacons in strategic locations so that everybody can spawn there and prevent them from proceeding. So effectively in fact that you get 16 people coming at you with RPGs

If you didn't know, in breakthrough keep your fucking anchor alive and not blatantly ignore them

Side note, don't tell me that there's nothing you could do. There's a little guy that has an trophy system and that trophy system happens to be anti-explosives as long as it did not come from a vehicle

And last I understood, shoulder mounted rockets do not count as a rocket that came from a fucking turret

They went from having 300 tickets because they had just been steamrolling through sector a and b, but the second I got the RAM they went from 300 down to 100 and still were failing to take sector c

[crude niche]

Did they revert the secure boot BS yet? Tells me to enable secure boot even though it's already enabled

[untold citrus]

I mean, I've downgraded to version 25.3.1
Yet bf2042 still crashes

[slow canyon]

secure boot killed the game

its stupid

[crude niche]

I wouldn't mind so much if it worked right. I mean I hate hackers... But I have secure boot on and the game won't work... big fail

And the hackers will likely circumvent it in a day anyway, if they haven't already.

[slate mauve]

ooo, let me tell about this game?

I bought this game at 3rd may on the 256 Rubles, because this game sold on the 92% discount. My first emotion, I think that this game is the best, but I usually play on the online, I was crushed in the process playing, I hate this mistanke in the game.

[dusk gulch]

As someone who has never played a Battlefield game before, and therefore has no “what it could’ve been” disappointment:
It’s a solid game now
Kinda wish it just had regular classes, but the Operators aren’t broken and the mechanics are solid
They aren’t supporting it anymore (other than occasional events and bug fixes) but there’s still enough progression for you to not be bored
Tbh I bounced from it too, then came back to it a while later and started grinding

That’s a really weird way of responding to you, my bad

[sinful vault]

dice сломали игру 🤣 без вмешательства в биос не поиграть в 2042 🤡

[mellow violet]

it's actually really fun now

shame it released in such a state

[lavish marsh]

is it worth trying?

[fickle wharf]

yes?

[mellow violet]

yes, on ea play or 90% discount

[lavish marsh]

is Elite edition worth it? or just standard

[kindred flint]

standards fine, you can unlock operators/weapons by playing against bots so you dont have to grind it out in a live match

[mellow violet]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1517290/reviews/?browsefilter=trendweek&snr=1_5_100010_&p=1 I think people don't like secure boot requirement xd

[fickle wharf]

[vocal tusk]

Also shows how prone to scare tactics people are.

"Yeah, I ain't going through all that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for a 50/50 chance that it just bricks my computer. You can ♥♥♥♥ right off EA."

lmao

[mellow violet]

You can't blame the players for not being tech savvy and not wanting to change something in BIOS to play a video game

[vocal tusk]

I can and I will 😛

I seriously doubt EA cares about 2042 backlash anyway. This is all laying the groundwork for future games

[mellow violet]

they should

if they add it to any other game the result will be the same

[vocal tusk]

It won't

[wispy blaze]

What even is this secure boot issue?

[vocal tusk]

People want to play a new BF game, not have forced requirement changes 4 years into the current bad one

[wispy blaze]

Just looked it up

Lol 3rd world players mad

[vocal tusk]

It issues come from various angles.

• People with old systems, not supporting it (Shouldn't be affected, but who knows)
• People on newer hardware, but older BIOS which didn't support Secure Boot (they don't want to update...as BIOS update is scary to them)
• People on who dual boot Linux (Apparently some bootloaders/Distros don't like/or work when secure boot is enabled)
• People who have listened to YT videos, Reddit or Twitter...and are convinced enabling it will brick their system

[mellow violet]

there are also people who say they have it enabled and it still doesn't start

[prime wigeon]

Had not noticed because I haven't played in a while, wild

[kindred flint]

5th option- Im just far too lazy to open the bios right now and playing the game isnt important anymore

but if i run into an issue can i phone you for assistance again?

[rain violet]

6th option: Who still wants to even play 2042?

[kindred flint]

that was bold and brave to say

[pine roost]

What about the people who say it’s on but it doesn’t detect that it is?

That doesn’t sound like it’s their fault

[arctic owl]

Go back to reddit

[burnt halo]

2042 is a fun game even if it lacks some battlefield staples (mostly destruction tbh)

[idle lion]

Anyone wanna hop on portal 128 rush(hosting it in NA region), search "NA -- Ultimate Rush"

[humble sparrow]

It feels like a mobile game, there's way more depth in their games from 2013 and 2011 like how are they evolving backwards

They need to stop fuckin around and just make bad company 3

[harsh dew]

Hi

[obsidian tide]

EA Anticheat now checks for and refuses to launch a supported game if Secure Boot is not enabled.

This is a Windows feature which adds a formality in the form of locking down the bootloader a little. In theory, PCs had this enabled by default or opted into it since 2020.

Except. Several hundreds of users (thousands if counting all Battlefield and EA games with it) did not have it enabled for one reason or another. Be it the PC was too old, turning it off for convenience to avoid weird issues, using dual-boots with Linux Distros and their alternate bootloaders, or having it enabled as reported in Windows Security, but EA Anticheat wants More than that.

In desperation to just get back into the game they played, players searched up and followed whatever online guides and videos they could to enable it...With the risk of managing to prevent the UEFI BIOS from loading successfully, or bricking a PC from doing MBR2GPT conversions to try to get UEFI support for Secure Boot being manifested soon after.

So now, the player psychology following this is to be further embittered, and spite EA more than they already have for making what they feel is a totally arbitrary decision that only serves to cut paying customers out and "kill" games more than they already are. Especially for a product that is already heavily disliked and disregarded (2042).

(I am aware that another user posted something more succinct, but this retells it with a bit of consideration for these affected users' intentions and thought processes.)

[chilly jacinth]

tldr people are drama queens for a slight inconvenience

[obsidian tide]

They feel the decision to mandate Secure Boot to a certain tier serves no purpose than to hate and ignore the customer base.

[obsidian tide]

Customer is Right, Business is Not mindset.

[chilly jacinth]

Customer doesn't even know what's going on

[untold citrus]

Neither do the devs tbh

[obsidian tide]

And is stuck. Or will reference a form of cheat Secure Boot mandates cannot counter as a way of attempting to validate and prove that forcing it does not solve any problem with cheats.

[rain violet]

Can't go back to where I never go, and never want to

[obsidian tide]

Figured out something new. EA Anticheat requires UEFI Capsule Updates to be enabled in the BIOS (or whatever will cause the firmware ESRT or public key to return as valid), or else EA Anticheat will hang on launch and give an Infinite Startup screen. Which is bad.

[obsidian tide]

I figured it was checking for something more than just Secure Boot enablement and UEFI Firmware support, and that seems to be a part of it.

[crude niche]

There are those of us out there also that do have secure boot enabled and the game is still telling us to enable it. It's not working properly for some of us. I can't play a game I paid for, for no good reason now. EA obviously took a quick and dirty approach, likely because it was a cheapest option, and some of us just plain got screwed.

I'm all for eliminating cheaters/hackers. This was not a thoughtful or effective approach.

[remote kiln]

lol

[misty pewter]

board not properly reporting the secureboot register / secure boot in custom mode

one of the MANY issues with this approch lol

[vocal tusk]

Better to iron out the issues with it now...than at launch of the next game. 👌

[misty pewter]

therre is no issues to iron out

it wont work that simple

[vocal tusk]

So its good to learn that now, than at the launch of the next game

[kindred flint]

hey its not like theres already cheaters in the alpha 💀 oh wait

[misty pewter]

what idiot lol omg

[vocal tusk]

Your messages are probably being deleted because you just broke your NDA twice

[misty pewter]

nope section 9 of the tos

[vocal tusk]

Doesnt apply

[kindred flint]

[misty pewter]

welp thats the one I was given and read so ~

[vocal tusk]

You should read your emails better

[kindred flint]

its a bit humorous a mod will be real time deleting stuff... but not sending a warning to you using the bot

[misty pewter]

Nope I read the legal doc attached two party state

[vocal tusk]

Ill ignore the legal stuff and abide by the discord rules

[misty pewter]

done being nice if you are done being logical

[misty pewter]

they did which is the only reason I noticed lol

[kindred flint]

oh ok thats better

[zealous loom]

[misty pewter]

my ablity to launch the title is not CI and not covered thanks for playing have a good day

[vocal tusk]

This discord has its own rules bro.

[misty pewter]

then the rule needs to be clarifed

because it says breaking the nda which I did not do as per the agreement

wording matters in writ of law

so again salt pound it

[vocal tusk]

I feel like you getting warned should make it clear enough for you tho

[misty pewter]

yes because getting warned for doing something I didn't do is at all ok

[vocal tusk]

I agree they should be clearer, but you're digging a hole

[misty pewter]

either way I really dont care but I will point it out anyway kthxgg

what ? what hole the worst they can do is ban me lol

do I sound like i at all give a crap?

No ? ok

[vocal tusk]

Yes

[misty pewter]

ok cool good for you

[gilded lava]

got immediately banned

[misty pewter]

lolno

[pearl swallow]

Wow it sure did get Quiet...

[misty pewter]

Dedgame was dead and ea shot in the face with a 10g just to make sure

[pearl swallow]

So I hear the new game is set in 3033. We will have space suits and great weapons to play with...Legitsu the game is not dead and never will be. Ea and Dice and all the rest of the community that help with the build. I have been playing for 20 years and yes I am old but our EA/Dice devs work hard to make the game fun and playable. Thank you All 🙂

[vital quail]

[misty pewter]

I hear the newgame is set in your moms closet and we will be wearing b cups and fighting with old cloths hangers

[orchid tusk]

does anyone else currently suspect 2042 is causing brief moments of loss of control of their computer at seemingly random intervals? the computer mouse freezes, the image freezes, however in a game I think the audio continues on normal but i need to pay attention closer the next time it happens to confirm that. (you might think that I would know this since the freezes have been recurring, but it was low on my brains to do list i guess until now as I continue to narrow down this issue.) the reason I am suspecting 2042 is because some recent tentative results from a windows performance recorder recording and analysis that I am starting to see some results now with.

[misty pewter]

not you again

[orchid tusk]

haha my old friend

i believe u knew id be back because you remembered me

[misty pewter]

thats just not true
