i think that koth and squad dm will be perfect for them

[ocean grove]

What does XQC want, I don't watch that tool

[regal niche]

Ranked mainly

he wants a comp scene

[ocean grove]

Nah, fuck that, go back to COD buddy.

[regal niche]

thats what everyone else is saying rn

I wonder if there will be new factions across the world with different maps

wake island on bf6 would be nice

[ocean grove]

Ranked and comp invites the hard core hackers and moronic skin colabs.

[grand fiber]

how do i get access code?

[regal niche]

are you a bf labs member?

if you are its linked to your email

if not i heard you can get it from watching streamers play the game

[ocean grove]

Or do the forbidden thing and pre-order the game...........

[regal niche]

preorder doesnt give early access

ea pro does

[ocean grove]

Oh.........

[grand fiber]

uh i think

[regal niche]

check the email you linked with bf labs

if you are you will be told you have access

even if you dont have early access its just a two day wait

nothing too unbearable

[ocean grove]

I remember with 2042 I had to pre-order the game for early access................. I wish I had of kept that money.

[regal niche]

samre

i go tgold edition too

[ocean grove]

I made the ULTIMATE mistake.

[regal niche]

danng

that was what 110 bucks or something?

[wind garden]

Wondering how many days it will be until we get Wake Island recreated in Portal.

[ocean grove]

I think it was $140 here, the Current pricing for BF6 here is $109 for the standard or $149 for the better one with the season pass and all of that.

[regal niche]

if enough people want it

[regal niche]

that USD?

[ocean grove]

AUD

[regal niche]

cause its $69 USD standard

[wind garden]

Nice

[fervent fjord]

Imagine some people do Sinai Desert on Portal

[midnight vapor]

Picked up the Phantom Edition

[craggy vale]

will we get beta rewards? and if so, what are they?

[midnight vapor]

They listed them on the EA site for the beta rewards

[fervent fjord]

i think they are skins for a gun and a tank.
2 soldier skins but they didn't show how they look like

[craggy vale]

ohh okay thank you! sounds pretty good

Im not sure how to feel about support and medic being one

Whats the point of assault if its not anti tank

Since engineer is there

[tough oar]

Guys anyone having this problem? The Beta crashes after anti cheat splash screen

The game window opens and then abruptly closes after a few seconds

[scarlet patio]

Yeah its a common issue they have ppl looking into it

[tough oar]

Thanks for letting me know

I came back to PC gaming after for more than a decade because I was tired of FPS on controller. Now this is what I miss from console gaming

Download, start, play

[scarlet patio]

Yeah this is weird becuase it only seems to effect intel and nvidia users

[tough oar]

oh I'm full AMD

[regal niche]

I have nvidea and it ran perfectly

[scarlet patio]

idk I updated my graphics card drivers and secure boot enabled

[tough oar]

mine was enabled for 2042. updated the drivers as it was required

[scarlet patio]

https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fjywvu4l3sodf1.png%3Fwidth%3D791%26format%3Dpng%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D2e24f0e0e391662c932b8c6b64ba9661cbfb492e

[ocean grove]

I have that issue with 2042 sometimes, I just persist and reopen the screen till it stays up.

[scarlet patio]

This helped for some people maybe it will help for you

[tough oar]

Thanks, but it's a fix for game freezing

[ocean grove]

I'm on windows 11 so secure boot has to be on to run windows.

[scarlet patio]

Yeah i'm not sure someone on the community team reached out to look into the issue so i'm just gonna wait

if all else fails i'll just play on my PS5

[tough oar]

it crashes here https://ibb.co/p6vyyTYb

I'm furious and I donno why

[ocean grove]

The first time I launched BF6 after I downloaded it earlier I had that and it kept freezing, I noticed after I closed it then opened it again it fixed it so try that?

[tough oar]

close what? It abruptly closes by itself

The game window opens but it doesn't run all the way through and it closes without any errors

[ocean grove]

Hm, yeah I had BF6 go black then it kept freezing when I was setting it up, I completely closed it then opened it and it was fine, Do you have secure boot and TPM turned on in BIOS?

You will need these on for the anti-cheat

[tough oar]

I play 2042 time to time

2042 needs the same settings to run

[vagrant pine]

what version you have? steam or ea?

[tough oar]

steam

[ocean grove]

Because they finally dropped EAC and are now using Javelin, Javelin is apparently a lot better.

[vagrant pine]

does the game slow when your run it? slow running?

[tough oar]

You know the splash screen for ea games?

It's the anti cheat splash screen

after that, the game window opens

but a few seconds later it closes

without any errors

[vagrant pine]

ok check Documents\Battlefield 6 Open Beta\CrashDumps

[tough oar]

holy shit

full of files

[vagrant pine]

ok delete all

and try again

need to see the last one

[tough oar]

got it

where should I upload it?

[vagrant pine]

you can't upload it here

send it DM

and i will try my best to help

@tough oar does your gpu supports DX12?

[tough oar]

6900XT

[vagrant pine]

it seems you have crashing with Engine_Render_Core2_PlatformPcDx12

[tough oar]

It's right in the directory too lmao

maybe update direct X

It's the latest version

[vagrant pine]

let me check

ok maybe you can try update your gpu driver

[tough oar]

The first thing I did. Because the game told me to. wait. let me uninstall and reinstall.

AMD is notorious for it's buggy drivers

[vagrant pine]

try DDU

[tough oar]

On it

[vagrant pine]

also do you have XMP profile on your bios?

[tough oar]

yes, activated

[vagrant pine]

ok maybe you can try restore it to default

worth a try

[vagrant pine]

let's try this one first

[fossil zealot]

will i be able to play early access if i preordered it?

[tough oar]

No.

There's nothing early access about pre ordrering

[fossil zealot]

damn

so its literally only for the like

[tough oar]

reinstalling drivers

[fossil zealot]

500 people that got early access keys and bflabs players

[tough oar]

what's ur platform?

[fossil zealot]

steam

[tough oar]

ok so ur on pc. try watching BF open beta streams on twitch for 30 minutes on the 7th

then you'll get an early access code drop

[fossil zealot]

ok cool

[tough oar]

make sure ur ea account is linked to your twitch one

[grizzled patio]

For bf6 will a need the code from the twitch drops to play or can I already access it if I have steam

[unborn chasm]

anyone know why open beta is not showing on steam when I have the code and did everything like linking everything?

[vagrant pine]

go to Battlefield 6 on store you will see it there

[unborn chasm]

thank you

[vagrant pine]

you are welcome

[tough oar]

ok I give up

none of them worked

[vagrant pine]

even bios thingy?

[tough oar]

yeah unfortunately

[vagrant pine]

ok one last thing

[versed zenith]

Can someone make infected game mode, that would be crazy

[ocean grove]

All I know is, by what the Battlefield creators have been saying, I can't wait to get in on the 7th and start playing.

[ocean grove]

Portal is your friend there.

[versed zenith]

🥲 is gaming back

[ocean grove]

Looks that way, Portal sounds like it's going to be a lot like what I remember Arma 3's map editor to be, we did all sorts of crazy shit with that thing, if the map editor is anything like that was.......... oh boy, I want to get in there and have a crack at some maps.

To expand, we had Go-cart racing, all out war, we recreated a certain camp from the 1940's in Poland that you had Guards vs prisoners (take a hint of how that used to end up), we did a sniper wonderland, Aircraft only maps, the possibilities are endless.

[jade bay]

Major difference between Arma 3 and this is, obviously, map size.

Or rather, playable area.

[ocean grove]

True, but I don't see real issues coming up with some good maps from this.

[jade bay]

For sure. It’d be interesting if they made the BR map available for editing. Then you’d have some real space to work with.

[bold kettle]

It'll be cool if they highlight the real creative stuff on Portal. Like a Friday Night Battlefield playlist or something once people get cooking

[ocean grove]

Oh you bet, I know I can't wait to get in there and I know a few others that are itching to have a go at getting some maps up, this is going to be great once the game is out and people are playing it, cant wait to see what people come up with.

[tight trout]

I can't wait to get my hands on all the creative portal maps

there's so much potential in it, it's crazy

I seriously hope it lives up to the hype, and people continue to play it long after release

[limpid bough]

so from what i understand, the closed beta was meant to appear in my library yesterday on the 4th. however, there is nothing showing and when i search for bf6 it only shows me the open beta.

any ideas how to install the closed beta?

also, i have my steam linked and wanted to play it on steam. is there any way to access the closed beta there, since i redeemed my code a few days ago?

[tough oar]

The latest AMD drivers has been released in the last few hours I've been trying to run the Beta

With the Beta specifically being mentioned in the notes

truly lol moment

The driver's version is higher than the one's Beta suggested

[tight trout]

There is no closed beta. You have to download the open beta file, and you'll be able to use the early access (which I think is the thing you're referring to as closed beta) on the 7th-8th

[tight trout]

Yes, you can download the open beta on steam as well, and then use it to play the early access

[tough oar]

@vagrant pine let's see if this works

can't believe it didn't😂

[limpid bough]

early acces, closed beta same thing, so there isnt a separate file, good to know

[limpid bough]

aight good, thanks

[vernal cosmos]

weird. Its not released on their website

I've tried to download it through website and AMD and it simply bounces me off

[tough oar]

25.8.1

I did and it didn't solve the problem

[vernal cosmos]

Correct. Adrenalin and the website doesnt want to download it

AMD website says outright"Not found"

[tough oar]

I need to sleep and check back tomorrow
It's 6:30 am

[vernal cosmos]

S8ure

[tough oar]

A dear person here made sure that the problem is with the GPU (software) by checking the crash files for me

So I'm sure it's driver related

[stoic veldt]

how do i get into labs for signup

[tough oar]

Currently closed.

[junior spire]

it was released before the 31st after it turned to the 1st it was closed those who registered at the end of the month like me who hadn't linked my account still got early access, my bf is already installed just waiting for the servers to be released.

[jolly tide]

Ever since i turned on the Secure Boot. my PC feels really slow af. even trying running application it's so slow than having the boot disable.

Am i tweaking?

[gusty prism]

yep same thing also on amd RX 7800 XT same exact error updated drivers to latest as well , verified files etc. Hopefully they will notice this and fix before weekend atleast

[obsidian onyx]

It’s a known issue for boot times, you’re likely not tweaking tho because there’s a lot of variables and oddities

[jolly tide]

Jeez if it's a known issue, then why they decided to put that thing on. It's not like they gonna stop a cheaters completely too i bet.

[cobalt narwhal]

Holy shit that was a task to get secure boot on. Had to update my bios which I left as the literal last option and then kf course 1 was one nvidia driver behind. Glad I checked that shot instead of Thursday

I got into the client fine once that was all sorted. Isnthe direct x error only certain setups?

[unkempt egret]

It also can cause issues with hibernation/wake up

[cobalt narwhal]

Haha oh damn I better check real quick as I put my pc to sleep.after confirming I loaded in

[unkempt egret]

Like for me, my PC would randomly just stay on a black screen in a soft-locked state.

[cobalt narwhal]

When you woke it?

[unkempt egret]

Yep

[cobalt narwhal]

It's what ky pc is doing as we speak. Fans roaring black screen lol

Guess I'll just shut it down. Stupid

[unkempt egret]

[unkempt egret]

Yeeup..

Secure Boot is a stupid requirement to have.

My only hope is people flip out on EA and make them backpedal

[cobalt narwhal]

I figured after the pita itbwas torture it on it wouldn't bother me but having to shut it down seems ridiculous. First world problem I guess

Haha maybe. I've never had that requirement before.

[unkempt egret]

Yea never seen it in any games besides these EA ones

[alpine nexus]

Has anyone heard if there will be an option for a Compass in the HUD or Minimap for callouts?

[cobalt narwhal]

Nada here

As i launched the beta knowing it couldn't be played in realize i am far from only person launching it out of hope. Feel bad for those who wait to sit down to play and have more work than just boggling secure boot on. I would have lost an hour just trying to figure out the damn issue before I buckled with the bios update.

Toggling*

[jolly tide]

Well i never put my pc to hibernation. Usually when I'm done, i just turned it off completely.

[unkempt egret]

Ahh gotcha

[cobalt narwhal]

I do as well...now lol

[jolly tide]

I mean this is probably the first time i enable the secure boot too. And it was disable by default since i got my pc.

[unkempt egret]

Wish mine was

Woulda saved me a lot of headache before finding out the moronic issues it causes.

[jolly tide]

Yeah since i just turned the boot on. Every app just feel sluggish and slow. For example when i pressed the windows key, it just slow and kinda laggy ish. Same as the software i opened.

[unborn chasm]

how did ya figure it out? im having the same issue.

[cobalt narwhal]

So you've gone into your bios and does secure boot say enabled but not active?

[cobalt narwhal]

Did you just enable it or also have to update bios

[jolly tide]

Just had to enable it.

[unborn chasm]

kinda werid you have to do that in the first place

[cobalt narwhal]

Charlie gpt has a few call outs with this being the first.

Realistic Explanations

🔹 1. Windows Memory Integrity / Core Isolation got auto-enabled

When Secure Boot is enabled, Windows Security may auto-enable features like:

Memory Integrity (a.k.a. HVCI / Core Isolation)

VBS (Virtualization-Based Security)

These use virtualization and hardware isolation (like Hyper-V, Device Guard), which can reduce gaming performance or cause general sluggishness, especially on older CPUs or systems with less than 32 GB of RAM.

✅ Check & Disable:

1. Open Windows Security

2. Go to Device Security → Core Isolation

[keen hill]

If your BIOS is older, it's not that uncommon. A lot of people never do BIOS updates

[cobalt narwhal]

Chat*

[unborn chasm]

mine has only been a few months since the last time i did it

[cobalt narwhal]

Yeah i had updated my bios often then just stopped. My version had inconsistent success in toggling secure boot I found out from chatgpt and sure enough

[keen hill]

Okay. Like I said many people never update and many others will refuse to update it because they have the mindset of it being 2001 and needing q flash and a floppy etc

[unborn chasm]

gotchya

[ocean grove]

I normally update the bios every year you so, I need virtualization running for other things I do with this system but with 24 threads that really isn't an issue, but it's good to know for people with lower spec hardware.

[unkempt egret]

Well tbh....it doesn't help that some companies keep it alive...looks at Gigabyte

[sweet cradle]

will i be able to play the bf6 ea? i bought the game and downloaded the stub (on xbox) but the release on the microsoft store says august 9th (i do have a registered bf labs account)

[vernal cosmos]

they put patch notes, but they havent put the driver

[mortal mauve]

"Secure Boot Mode" must be "Enabled", "Platform Mode" - "Standard" or "User Mode" and need make "Restore Factory Keys"

[gusty prism]

no there is driver i have already installed it

[unborn chasm]

so i did it and it still wont boot up the open beta lol

love that

[keen hill]

Double check its actually on in windows.

[mortal mauve]

it was for bios on laptop legions

[pearl flame]

i watched the stream on youtube but no code been sent to me (the official battlfield stream )

[keen hill]

Pretty sure it was for twitch streams by people playing at the event after the reveal ended. Had to watch for an hour

[formal veldt]

bf1 is crazy, damn

[pearl flame]

oh thanks

[cobalt narwhal]

Mine said enabled ut under enabled it said not active or something like that. Do all indicators in your bis make you believe it's actually on?

Bios*

[cobalt narwhal]

Are you having an issue or no?

[round trout]

so being in labs just gets us 2 extra days of open beta?

[cobalt narwhal]

Yes

[keen hill]

@unborn chasm double check msinfo32 shows secure boot is enabled.

[cobalt narwhal]

DICE is adding additional days to get an early access code for those who missed out last week. Those interested will need to watch streamers playing Battlefield 6 for 30 minutes on Aug. 7-8 to get another code drop

[wise vapor]

Guys u don't have secure boot option I nmy bios

How can I play bf6

[keen hill]

Check for bios updates. If there are none and you can't update, you won't be able to play without upgrading hardware. Anything within the past 10 years should be fine though

[wise vapor]

Bro like come onnnnn damn

[keen hill]

I don't know what you want? Should keep your PC updated...

[cobalt narwhal]

That is a bummer 😦

[fresh bolt]

So i did signed up for BF Labs before 31st and i could download the game but it seems i am not able to play it.

why?

[cobalt narwhal]

Pre load only right now

[fresh bolt]

yep

[cobalt narwhal]

1am pst on 7th it goes live

Id suggest making sure you can fully launch it once downloaded

[fresh bolt]

Oh ok

[ocean grove]

It's not live yet, just available to pre-load.

Just a thought, why are people like FaZe swagg, XQC and their kin even getting entertained? They do not play Battlefield regularly, they should stick to what they are good at.

[lyric aurora]

So battlefield 6 will have no portal browser feature?

It's really hard to find players in battlefield in asia. If they removed the browser feature then probably it will die

[cobalt narwhal]

They will have something from what I've gathered. May nkt be the traditional server browser as we know it but something is cooking with filters

[lyric aurora]

Still let's see this bf6 player count. Other battlefield 6 games have very low player count except battlefield 5

[ocean grove]

BF4 servers here in SA/ Oceana have been pretty active of late since the BF6 release date got announced.

[cobalt narwhal]

Yeah packed i heard lol

[lofty ridge]

Portal browser only, no official EA server browser

[lyric aurora]

I see then fine

[remote berry]

Check if your bios has an option called CSM. Secure boot is hidden in some cases when that’s enabled

https://help.ea.com/en/articles/technical-issues/secure-boot/

[plush rover]

No server browser is a crime

[surreal lotus]

It's kinda weird.
Some of my friends had to do the bio change for the secure boot and others had no issue launching the game.

[plush rover]

It can be on by default

[keen hill]

Because BF6 is popular right now so whatever they can do to stay relevant...

[hard jetty]

Is this check early access can play 7-8 Aug??? for twitch drop (in EA App >> BF6 Open Beta >> Manage >> Manage Add on)

[wise vapor]

My motherboard is outdated and I don't have a secure boot option

God why me

[gusty prism]

do you have csm option then ? @wise vapor

[wise vapor]

I do

And I'm on effi

I turned it on

[gusty prism]

disabling it still doesnt show secure boot ?

[wise vapor]

No

It's not gried out or anything

It doesn't exist

I'm running gigabyte h61

GA-H61M-DS2 (rev. 3.0)

[ivory basalt]

Early access starts on the 7th right?

[vague rapids]

So pissed that I missed early acces keys on twitch drops🥲

[gusty prism]

Either it does support secure boot, but it's installed with old parition method instead of UEFI which disables secure boot by default which means u won't see secure boot option in BIOS. Or it doesn't exist , but since it's 3.0 rev despite being old i do see that it does support UEFI, so secure boot is possible. But either way those are bad news anyway, cuz that would require reinstalling windows @wise vapor

[wise vapor]

No I installed EFI from the get go

It's just the option don't exist

And when I check in windows

It says secure boot is off

So it exists

But not as an option in the bios

And that's making me tweaking lmao

[gusty prism]

are u sure it was EFI and correct partition tho

[wise vapor]

I'm

I'm using all EFI and GPt

I have a tech background

I know what I'm doing

I hate MBR

And legacy

Ps

Before I updated my bios to the newest one it was saying secure boot unsupported now it says it's off

So it's there

But I couldn't find it

I can call u and show u my bios if u want

@gusty prism is there to force it on or something?

[remote berry]

What cpu are you using?

[gusty prism]

mmmmm does it show TPM option or anything

[wise vapor]

I7 3770k

@gusty prism join voice

[gusty prism]

Yeah might be CPU / TPM / which means no secure boot

[remote berry]

I believe 4x series has tmp. So you might need a tmp module for your computer

Run win + c and tpm.msc

[wise vapor]

I'm in English 1 join

[remote berry]

TPM. Ignore the typos

[wise vapor]

So what's the key here do I bypass it or smth

[remote berry]

Just a sec. I’ll log in to my computer

[wise vapor]

Thank I know I have an ancient PC but this war machine all I got 😂

[remote berry]

Ok i'm here, Ill recheck your CPU and motherboard if those have TPM, try this while im doing that

[wise vapor]

Try what exactly

I don't have tpm I think

[remote berry]

Run win + "x" and tpm.msc

[wise vapor]

Cuz my windows won't go to 11

[remote berry]

Well that's the problem then, you will need a TPM 2.0 module

[wise vapor]

Can't be found

[gusty prism]

@wise vapor check msg i sent u

only solution rly

[remote berry]

For example Asus and gigabyte sell separate modules

[wise vapor]

So I should buy a new. Pc basically

[gusty prism]

his motherboard support software based tpm could maybe somehow then enable tpm which maybe would reveal secure boot

[wise vapor]

Check GA-H61M-DS2 (rev. 2.0)

And go to the ebios section

It's there the secure boot option in the bios updates

They just didn't make it for my revision

[remote berry]

I'll check if that motherboard has the TPM capable slot

[gusty prism]

Access BIOS: Restart your computer and enter the BIOS setup (usually by pressing DEL, F2, or F12 during startup).
Navigate to Security: Find the security or advanced settings section within the BIOS.
Locate fTPM or PTT: Look for settings related to "TPM," "fTPM," or "Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT)".
Enable the Feature: If available, enable the relevant setting.
Save and Exit: Save the BIOS changes and restart your computer.
Verify: After restarting, you can use "tpm.msc" in the Run dialog (Windows Key + R) to check if a TPM is detected.
@wise vapor try to do this if it does exist of course

[wise vapor]

I don't have thoes

Options

I don't even have a security tab

I don't think the years of that 20 years ago lol

[gusty prism]

maybe it's located somewhere else again it might be different since motherboard is old so navigation is diff

[wise vapor]

Trust me I checked under every tab

I think I need to edit my bios

And reflash

[gusty prism]

then ye no secure boot like lynx said maybe tpm header slot that u can buy and install , but question does motherboard even support that. Conclusion u would be far better off just by buying new pc ngl

[remote berry]

I just checked, TPM got integraded to intel CPUs on the 8th gen and your motherboard does not have the slot for it. I have no idea if theres a workaround for that, but it looks like youre under the minimun requirements.

[wise vapor]

If I figure it out and get it working y'all owe me a beer lol

[paper raptor]

3060 Laptop
R7 5800H
16GB 3200MHz
Getting about 100FPS at menu

[remote berry]

Minimum recommended CPU is i5-8400, mine is 8600k so i'm also just barely there

[paper raptor]

Just hope that it wouldnt run too dumb (I had it in performance mode, which is like lowest graphic)

[gusty prism]

and me can't open beta cuz im getting driver error which is another can of worms that hopefully ain't me problem XD so we all stuck with problems here :L

[wise vapor]

Is there a way to copy one contants of a bios file and put it into another without changing the checksum?

[mild drum]

Ermmm I signed up for every thing but never got an early access code to the beta .. all my mates did 🥹 how can I get a code to start playing on Thursday ? Anyone please

[remote berry]

If you have the rev. 3.0. there hasn't been an update that'll solve your problem: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H61M-DS2-rev-30/support#dl

[remote berry]

When did you sign up?

before July 31st?

[mild drum]

When bf labs got announced

Oh yeah ages ago

[wise vapor]

No my question is can I copy the contents of one bios and put them into another without ruining the checksum

[mild drum]

Checked my email and I’ve been in this discord for quite a while

[remote berry]

then you should not need a code, you shouldve reveived an email about it

[mild drum]

I pre loaded the beta already

I’ll see when I can play 🙂

[paper raptor]

Go to a Chinese lottery event, you almost always get one.

[remote berry]

make sure the check your spam folder as well. You shouldnt need a code if youre using the same EA account while signing up for the labs before that july 31st day

[paper raptor]

If you are lab tester, just wait for the email

[remote berry]

I only got notified by email 3 days ago

[mild drum]

Awesome, thank you !

[mighty forge]

Going to be interesting to see what memory limits we get with portal

There’s no last gen requirements for bf6 so chances are it could be high

[radiant harbor]

When I started the BF 6 game, the menu area says the following:

*Early Access Begins August 7

Lock and load, Soldier. Early Access begins on August 7. *

Does this indicate I have Early Access or? Just curious.

[remote berry]

Did you sign up to the labs with the EA account before July 31st?

[radiant harbor]

Can't remember lol. I feel like I did a while back...tho.

[remote berry]

You should've received an email about it. If you did sign up you should have access. If not you need a key from content creator drops

[radiant harbor]

There is a chance I may have deleted that email. I guess I will find out on the 7th. If I don't have access, then EA Play Pro it is.

[dull verge]

Who deletes emails

[remote berry]

yep, that's the "paid" way.

[radiant harbor]

I guess me? lol

[swift elbow]

Wait people delete emails?

Has my life been a lie this whole time

[radiant harbor]

You been living in the matrix this whole time.

[swift elbow]

How does one escape

[thorny atlas]

Hello, I have a problem with the new BF6. The system requires the latest version of Radeon software to be installed, but when I run it, BF 2042 crashes and crashes to the desktop. Is it just me or does anyone else experience this too?

[swift elbow]

Best bet is to just wait till the beta is out to do the update

[thorny atlas]

I just downloaded the early beta for testing and I thought I could play it now.

[swift elbow]

Nope you can play on the 7th

[remote berry]

No, the client updates on the 7th

[vocal otter]

No Joystick just a controller for X box

[thorny atlas]

Damn, so we have to wait. And speaking of Radeon drivers, does anyone else have this problem where the game crashes on newer models, but everything works fine on older models?

[vocal otter]

I hope nobody gets in the the chopper with me lol

[wanton quail]

Starts at 10 am I’m pretty sure what time is that for you

[heady lark]

Are there any bonuses for doing stuff with your squad in the game

Or will there be i mean

[wanton quail]

Uuuhhh then yea should be around 10 to 11 am for us because your ahead of us time

We are behind

[remote berry]

https://discord.com/channels/140933721929940992/1400555934807490735

The first message here should have accurate times related to where you live

.. when you are able to play, the client you downloaded now is only a pre-download

[wanton quail]

That helps

[vocal otter]

Thanks

[radiant harbor]

Early Access is 1AM PT for me on the 7th. I wonder if I should sleep early and wake up at 1AM.....probably not

[vagrant pine]

Yes.

[sly estuary]

I cant find the beta in steam but I can find it in EA app ( I wanna play it on steam )

[exotic dew]

it was on the battlefield 6 page on steam scroll to find open beta

[swift elbow]

Go to the bf6 store page and request access

[sly estuary]

thank you guys @swift elbow @exotic dew

[earnest flicker]

Do you think it will be possible to create custom matches in the portal, for example for clan wars?

[sly estuary]

yes Ig

[novel crest]

Do you guys know if we can or there is access to like a "shooting range" to test the controllers or else? i cant decide how to set up my numbers for movement etc as i cant actually play

this is for BF6 ofc

[remote berry]

I just launched the preloaded client, its just basic settings you can do. nothing else atm

[novel crest]

yeah i noticed that, but you know people have some times other ways xD

[remote berry]

Everything else is probably locked behind the updated client on the 7th

[novel crest]

well today is the 5th ...nothing else but waiting

[remote berry]

If you have seen people using the gun range. Those are most likely clips from the content creators that are invited early

[odd oriole]

Yes there is a reward for revives

[wise vapor]

@remote berry u owe me a beer

[remote berry]

Like we said. Follow the link I send you. You’re still below the minimum requirements for 1080p low 30fps.

Those are easy

[cursive sequoia]

If i buy the phantom edition can i play on 7 august ?

[mighty forge]

No

[surreal lotus]

Battlefield labs, Beta key code, or EA Play Pro

[placid onyx]

watch a stream on twitch for 30 mins august 7 to get a early access code

[wise vapor]

I'm trying to play but I can't? Why

When is the beta gonna start

Or is it ended already

[remote berry]

Early access starts on the 7th. Open beta on the 9th.

https://discord.com/channels/140933721929940992/1400555934807490735

[wise vapor]

@remote berry hook a brother with a copy

[remote berry]

If you don’t have access yet. You need to watch content creators and they give out drops

[wise vapor]

Tell how and where?

Twitch?

[sharp cave]

bro 🥲

[remote berry]

Yeah. Have a read through the beta info I just linked. All info is there on that page

I believe someone mentioned that you can still get a key from the streamers when the early access starts. Other way to get early access is to pay for ea pro. But at that point I’d just wait out the two days for the open beta.

[wise vapor]

There is no drops in twitch

Man this is depressing I was hoping I'd play a little after all that tech shenanigans

[dapper parrot]

My lord

[mighty forge]

There will be starting on the 7th

You just need to watch for 30minutes

[loud cloak]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-pablo-lonely-alone-gif-12928789

[strange flint]

if someone has an early access code i will pay you 0 dollars (GREAT DEAL)

[vague rapids]

Wait we can get new codes the 7th?

[placid onyx]

yes

[icy patio]

im stoked

[jagged juniper]

Will the test be free?

[dry fog]

Check #direct-communication

[jagged juniper]

So I need to watch some streamer?

[dry fog]

No you are too late for early access. You can buy EA Play Pro or wait a few days and also get access.

[strange flint]

am i able to do anything in the open beta yet

[halcyon mango]

Nope

[wind garden]

Only configure your settings

[halcyon mango]

Someone of you found the DLSS setting? Seems hidden or not available

[celest gust]

This is going to be my first Battlefield game Ive played on launch

[tiny grove]

Why

Nice banjo kazooie profile btw I've been meaning to play the games

Should i get the 360 versions or the newer ones?

[celest gust]

because ive been a cod fan really, until I got bored of Black ops 6, and saw that Battlefield was on sale on steam

so I gave 1 and 5 a shot, and I really liked them, too bad I played them way later

[tiny grove]

Battlefield 1 is still the moat active battlefield,so you can keep playing it

Personally not a fan of bf5

[left crescent]

With all this old guns, no thank you. But it is, indeed, the most immersive Battlefield ever created

[jagged juniper]

Ok honestly I probably won't like the game so no big deal

[wispy dirge]

Note that the game is already different from what you saw in early videos thanks to the new patch. The gameplay and match dynamics are a bit tweaked

[placid onyx]

no you aren’t, watch a stream for 30mins aug 7th for twitch drop early access code

[dry fog]

I didn’t know this thank you for the correction.

[jagged juniper]

I didn't watch any

I just saw a little of the trailer

I'm 95% sure I'm not buying the game

[placid onyx]

ofc beta is going to be huge for battlefield

[dry fog]

Really looking forward to it 🙂

[untold kelp]

Are persistent server confirmed?

[sour wagon]

how do you type in bf4

[ebon acorn]

hoping dice dont listen to all the cry babies this time around, kids who wanted to play with bots offline and for all the progress to transfer to online, such a stupid idea, no sense of achievement. just unlock all attachments and challenges for online playing against bots in offline

[remote berry]

they know todays world is just looking for controversy, Most of the things people complain about has been a thing in battlefield games in years. Or things like TTK that have already been tested, given feedback about and going to be adjusted.

[ebon acorn]

only kids who want that are the same people who wanted pve servers on tarkov, they add pve to tarkov and kids wanted it linked with the online main game lol why the fk would they do that, just make it so kids can farm easy gear offline against bots and it was the same with 2042, farming everything for the game easy, getting 800 kills in a game, ruined it for me and so many people

[heavy pelican]

j/k/l

[late lion]

when is the preload for pc

[tough oar]

on all platforms since yesterday

[late lion]

it doesnt work on steam rn

[tough oar]

wdym it doesn't work?

[late lion]

wont download

[timid schooner]

definitely does. Can confirm I have it preloaded on steam

ensure you completely close steam and allow it to update

[tough oar]

problem is on your end

[livid zephyr]

what time for uk does battlefield beats go live on the 7th ????

[woven cove]

Anyone that has a beta key ?

[tough oar]

omg, 8am UTC

UK is UTC

[livid zephyr]

oh my bad

[late lion]

oh it works now for some reason

weird

[timid schooner]

happens to the best of us

[tough oar]

my problem is a lot more serious and still haven't been able to resolve it

the game fails to boot up after the splash screen. The crash report file suggests that it's a directx 12 problem

[timid schooner]

PC or Playstation??

[tough oar]

updated to the latest Adrenaline driver which specifically includes update for the beta

but nothing

[vapid palm]

Beta goes live at 9AM UK time

[tough oar]

uk is 1hr ahead of utc?

[remote berry]

yeah

You can check the time by going to the https://discord.com/channels/140933721929940992/1400555934807490735

The top message should have the correct time it goes live for you.

[vapid palm]

UK its UTC + 1

[tough oar]

wow, always thought UK IS UTC

[remote berry]

During summer they use British Summer Time, which is one hour ahead

I believe that's why

[tough oar]

aha daylight saving

[vapid palm]

I prefer to use GMT or CET ahaha

[remote berry]

with the amount of different time zones its always easier to link the beta info page and let the discord convert the time for them automatically 😄

[uncut spear]

why does ea app tell me the 9th but the email says 7th?

[agile acorn]

Did anyone respond to this? Will the portal allow access to assets from all previous titles like BC2 or even older ones?

[remote berry]

If youre using that same EA account youll have early access starting the 7th, 9th is the day when it opens up for everyone

[thin crypt]

nope no response

[mighty forge]

I don’t believe so

It wasn’t mentioned in any leaks

Doesn’t stop them from porting it over tho in the future

[remote berry]

I'm sure there will be a trailer for portal too before the game launches

[vivid marten]

I think a lot of people would be really happy if in the future for a new map you brought back Damavand Peak from BF3. Best rush map ever

[snow basin]

Does anyone know if the codes we got for the pre access beta will be recognized by the pre load of the open beta?

[fossil oracle]

If you redeem it successfully you good to go

[dusty fog]

Waiter more Operation Locker please!

[hidden cloud]

is it real there is an ester egg inside BF6 that lett u join the test range ?

[mild oak]

Dying of boredom rn

I NEED BF6 NOWW

[dusty fog]

Hey if I’m in the BF labs thing, I can play the beta normally or they get like a early access?

[vast marsh]

At what time early acces starts on 7th?

[hidden cloud]

u will join the 7th

[dusty fog]

Thank you for the answer 🙏🏼

[primal shard]

can someone help me out people complain about mouse input for the battlefield games, when i use kbm dont notice anything it feels fine to me like i dont get what people are crying about? am i missing something?

[ancient ginkgo]

[vernal olive]

NOWFIELD 6

[urban mantle]

well lesson learnt after 24hours of being timed out - don't paste the email address that sent the beta information into this discord 😄

[mild oak]

I NEEDDD ITTTT

[mighty forge]

check your documents folder, find Battlefield 6 Open Beta/settings and edit PROFSAVE_profile

[vernal olive]

WE alle need it!

[mild oak]

True

[hidden cloud]

is there a launch command that let u get in the test range like in BF4

[hidden cloud]

in the mail u got they tell u that u will acces the beta on the 7th

[wispy dirge]

Can you play BF6 if you're on Windows 10 and not eligible to Windows 11 or not at all ?

[hollow pebble]

Anyone else not see an option to enable secure boot? I have an asus motherboard

[wispy dirge]

Asus motherboard doesn't mean anything, what is the model etc ?

[hollow pebble]

B550 aorus pro ac

[uncut bison]

Don't really know where i should write but will there be a campaign?

[hollow pebble]

I think I found it. I thought I enabled earlier if its the same as TPM

Yes

[wispy dirge]

Btw Aorus brand isn't Asus

It's Gigabyte

[lyric aurora]

how old is it

[hollow pebble]

Oh youre right. I misremembered

[chilly tide]

anyone download the nvidia 580 driver for the beta ?

[thin ocean]

sorry if this has been asked already, but is it confirmed that on the 7th you can watch a streamer playing BF6 to get an early access code?

[lyric aurora]

whattt lemme do that

[remote wasp]

so I am a bit confused on how steam and EA accounts work...
If I got early access via labs does my steam acc ( which was linked to EA for years now) also get access to early access or will I need to download BF6 on EA launcher exclusively even though steam version already seems to be synced with EA friends

[hollow pebble]

I had to disable CSM support first to enable secure boot

[pulsar apex]

Pre Alpha testers get the early beta access?

[cobalt narwhal]

I did. No problem. I had to actually since I was 1 driver behind the required version

[cobalt narwhal]

Yes because you would be part of BF labs alteady

[rare rover]

Depending on your MB bios, if you enable secure boot, and disable CSM like required, you will still run into issues with secure not registering as "OFF" if your bios is outdated. Which will mean bios update, then setting your secure boot setting to custom to allow for restoring factory keys, then reverting secure boot back to enabled for it to work correctly. Took me about 2 hours to track down the root cause and got through all the nonsense. Luckily, Gigabyte has a bios updater in GCC

[chilly tide]

did u tested it in other Games too ?

[cobalt narwhal]

Ha no. I just launched the beta to make sure it was good to go and shut down. You noticing something in other games?

[pulsar apex]

Oh excellent! So stupid question, I play via the beta download, or since it's all pretty much downloaded in LABs I play via LABs?

[chilly tide]

In the previous versions u got black screens and many other Problems.

[cobalt narwhal]

Have to download beta.

[pulsar apex]

Okay cool, I did just in case, wonder if Levels from pre Alpha will transfer to beta

[cobalt narwhal]

Doubt. Never do usually

[woven comet]

So early access on the open beta for thos who SIGNED UP for BF Labs, or those who actually got accepted for BF Labs? Im confused, and literally askin for a friend.

[cobalt narwhal]

Same thing with beta to full game launch

[cobalt narwhal]

To have been accepted into labs you would have been registered in labs. Should be fine

[rare rover]

Early access is open for anyone who has an early access key redeemed on their EA account. Whether from streamer drop, twitter drop, or elsewhere. The minute you redeem, you have access on the 7th. Don't have to be apart of BF labs

[mighty forge]

both

[woven comet]

So when they state that if you signed up for labs before July 31., you'll have early access, they actually mean if you got accepted?

[woven comet]

I dont think so, I doubt you'd get early access just by registering for Labs(without getting the actual invite)

Bu I cant seem to find any specific info on it.

[mighty forge]

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-6/news/lock-and-load-for-the-open-beta

"Early access opens on August 7 at 8:00 UTC (1AM PT)
If you signed up for Battlefield Labs before July 31, you don’t need a code. Just log in with the EA Account you registered with Battlefield Labs."

[cobalt narwhal]

Anyone registered before 7/31. Check your spam folders as someone thinking they couldn't play found it there. If you played playtests I can't confirm if thise people got an email because it may already be assumed you're good

[woven comet]

I know, thats what I read too, but I wonder if its misleading texts.

[mighty forge]

signed up includes registering AND getting accepted

[woven comet]

Seems to be a confusing formulation for many 😂

[mighty forge]

i played labs and got the email

its really simple, if you signed up for labs you have early access

[woven comet]

I think "signed up" is whats confusing people.

[mighty forge]

not really, to get accepted into labs you need to sign up for it.

[woven comet]

Some thinks that the same as being accepted into Labs, some thinks its just the registration.

[woven comet]

Exactly. Its not the same thing.

[kindred agate]

Anybody who registered

[mighty forge]

so "signed up" encompasses both registering for labs and getting accepted

[woven comet]

Thanks, thats whats meant by it?

[kindred agate]

You didn't need to be accepted to test Labs. Registering alone is what you need.

[woven comet]

For the early access open beta you mean?

[kindred agate]

Yes.

[woven comet]

Nice one, ty for the clearification.

[vagrant linden]

Will bf6 have sbmm like call of duty?

[cobalt narwhal]

Yes and no. Based on pink, location, some skill and one mkre element i believe

Ping*

[mighty forge]

thats for team balancing

[buoyant hare]

how are people getting into bf6 settings?

[sterile flame]

Do these go out in waves in that case? Still haven't received anything, despite registration months ago

[cobalt narwhal]

They launch the beta. You just can't play

[cobalt narwhal]

Check your spam folder? I got mine days ago

[sterile flame]

Already have

[cobalt narwhal]

Damn

[kindred agate]

Check your spam folders and make sure that your platform you want to play on is linked in the EA account that you registered with.

[lofty surge]

Having played the betas for BF3 and 4, the historical trend has been no - stats get reset in each phase of testing, and then again at full launch.

[pastel coyote]

Has to be same email, your EA account and what you signed up with LABS, then make sure you are linked, for example I linked Steam, and downloaded via Steam

[vagrant linden]

@cobalt narwhal we're did you see this information

[sterile flame]

Yeah, I've covered all of that already

[buoyant hare]

It wont let me past the connection screen

[pastel coyote]

Search your email for Battlefield LABS, did you actually complete the entire registration, you should have gotten an email back then

[cobalt narwhal]

Not sure about that 😦

[buoyant hare]

hmmm, weird

[sterile flame]

Yeah, that's there too
Not a huge deal though, waiting a few more days doesn't hurt

[dusty fog]

I lost the email💔

[woven comet]

Didn't it say that anyone who signed up before july 31th didn't have to do anything to get early access? I haven't recieved any mail other than the LABS email back in February. (got both the EA app, and Steam linked)

[pastel coyote]

@kindred agate Can we get a "Battlefield-Battlestations" community channel under the community group? Pic of my setup battlefield themed! -> #screenshots-and-clips message

😎 🫡 🦅

[woven comet]

I just assumed I could launch and play at august 7th since I've signed up before July 31th.

[vivid marten]

Ganslingers gotta be tired of answering the same question 50 times a day

[cobalt narwhal]

It wasn't IGN but looks like more outlets are releasing the info.

Battlefield 6 Matchmaking Will Include SBMM — Among Other Things Like Ping, Location, And Server Availability - IGN https://share.google/llNxpUTRBBdmhz8pA

[cobalt narwhal]

No bug deal. All it was us information. Load the beta client and have fun the 7th. Just make sure platform us linked to each account registered for labs

Big *

[empty matrix]

@kindred agatedo you know if there will be a vehicle range or just the weapon range for testing

[pastel coyote]

For those looking for the email notice, I just searched my inbox for "beta", I got the email Friday sent by "Electronic Arts Playtesting" subject "Battlefield 6 Open Beta Early Access"

"Hi Soldier!

Congratulations, you have been invited to join the Battlefield Open Beta 2 days early, starting on August 7... etc....etc....etc

Ready to Preload on August 4th?

Visit your platforms store and search "Battlefield 6 Open Beta"

So check the EA App first

[zenith karma]

I hope we get ribbons and dog tags again in Battlefield 6.

[pastel coyote]

This is if you registered for LABS before the 31st…

[kindred agate]

Don't think that exists as of now.

[zenith karma]

Does the Little Bird exist in any of the beta maps? Please say yes.

[dusty fog]

Great then! Thank you bro

[empty matrix]

ok, thank you

[reef hatch]

Hey what day is open beta?

[kindred agate]

#bf6-beta-info

[nova gull]

I'm looking to squad up with anyone who’ll be playing the closed beta on the 7th. Nametag: Alienell

[reef hatch]

Thank you

[kindred agate]

Make sure you use the right channels to look for people to play. Either the #lfg-crossplay etc. channels or #battlefield-6.

[nova gull]

Roger that, thanks

[odd oriole]

Portal is gonna be so fun for community games

[weary ivy]

would be nice if I could bind my crouch/slide to m4/m5 like I do in almost every game, but the game isn't accepting it as a bindable key

[pastel coyote]

assign the button out of game on the mouse to the key, i.e. make m5 assigned to CTRL in mouse software

[weary ivy]

if I do that, it messes with system stuff so I try to avoid that

already had to previously regedit sticky keys off

[pastel coyote]

most mouse software has "profiles" so when you launch the game it assigns the key and switches back to default when you quit game

[weary ivy]

and windows recognizes m4/m5 as normal inputs, so not sure what's causing it in the bf beta

[hollow pebble]

Need to find some good settings for controller helicopter and jet. I have tried using mouse and keyboard for air vehicles, but just cant get used to it

[arctic quiver]

Did anybody else’s code come up as “Santiago” when you input the early access code on EA?

[ivory basalt]

Does anyone get a error code saying security violation. secure boot is not enabled? or is that normal cuz the beta isn't out yet

[cobalt narwhal]

You need to enavke secure boot in bios

[ivory basalt]

oh ><

[kindred agate]

#secure-boot-info

[ivory basalt]

thanks!

[frozen star]

Cant wait damn two more days 😄

[cobalt narwhal]

Getting warmer. Less than 2 days for those dedicated bunches willing to start in middle of night lol

[stiff halo]

Portal is gonna be amazing

I wonder if you can create whole maps

also they better have enough servers because its gonna be a lot of players

[sterile flame]

You can't. A good comparison to what the level editor does would be Fortnites original creative mode, a prop placer

It's a far cry from UEFN or CS2s Hammer Editor but, hopefully someday DICE try to do something like that

[stiff halo]

Don't know why they don't let us do that, Portal would be massive

[lofty surge]

Has anyone with the beta pre-loaded on PC noticed that their connected peripherals randomly disconnect while the game is running? As in - USB connected devices disconnect then reconnect.
May very well just be an isolated issue, but wondered if anyone else noticed this.

[stiff halo]

I think thats an isolated issue, i don't have that, however i did need to enable secure boot

[errant turtle]

How exactly do you get this access code to start playing before the 9th?

[astral mortar]

im at work rn so i havent done this but has anyone have had issues with doing this or is it as easy as im reading it?

[kindred agate]

I don't know everybody who's done this so I cannot give you a correct answer. It was easy for me but that doesn't mean much because my system is pretty new.

[north spindle]

anyone know how to pplay battlefield on pc using ps5controller

[keen hill]

I know 2042 works fine with it. Can't use DS4windows because Javelin won't let the game start

[north spindle]

okay thanks

[keen hill]

It should be easy to do but make sure you look at how to do it for your specific board and follow the instructions. You can still run into problems with it but it's pretty easy to figure out

[mighty forge]

Would require them to release a stripped down version of FrostEd to allow us to edit terrain

[vernal veldt]

What is EA's official email address?

[molten pike]

Is there any news about the time the beta will open? Will it be at midnight?

[kindred agate]

#bf6-beta-info

[molten pike]

ty

[primal shard]

mine worked by added battlefield as a none steam game then override the input through steam and launch through steam.

[dim grail]

my ps5 controller worked straight away on the ea app for me

[odd oriole]

No code needed for 9th as it’s open to all

[wind garden]

On the 7th if you have twitch drops enabled and watch a participating twitch streamer for 30 minutes you can get an early access code for access on the 7th

[wind garden]

They were asking for before the 9th.

#bf6-beta-info message

[odd oriole]

Fair, at this point it’s all garbbled into one and every other Q is the same

[burnt nymph]

sup

[fair latch]

Man I wish their was a clan recruitment channel

[stiff halo]

I would love to recreate some maps

[fair latch]

Can someone post that link again how to verify your code is locked in and you will have access on the 7th

[rose mirage]

What time UK wise can we actually load up and play guys on the 7th?

[brave notch]

So just to clarify, if we already played in the battlefield labs playtest, then we will have early access on the 7th correct?

[rotund valley]

does anyone know how to use scure boot?

[hidden cloud]

depends on ur mother board
u need to get to ur bios and go to boot settings and disable CSM save and get in windows restart
get in bios again and activate secure boot save and exit
and u can check if it's up by searching in windows for msinfo32

[wind garden]

9am

[calm shard]

Hey guys so I got an early release access code but it’s for an EA account that I originally used to sign up for BFlabs but that EA account doesn’t have my steam linked. My main account that has my steam account linked was not the email that I used to make the account and I can’t unlink it until September for some reason. Any way around this or will I just have to wait for the weekend

[hidden cloud]

just play it with the EA account

[wind garden]

Can you not redeem it on the main EA account?

[hidden cloud]

the key can be redeamed only on EA account that u linked with twitch

[wind garden]

Either way, on the 7th just use twitch drops to get an early access code. Requires 30 minutes of watching a participating streamer

[calm shard]

Can I still get that drop?

[cobalt narwhal]

[wind garden]

Yes absolutely. Check out #bf6-beta-info message

What to do if you have not received your beta code?

[wind garden]

Nope, same boat as me. We just play on the 7th.

[mossy basin]

1am

[calm shard]

So on the 7th I can get access after watching a participating streamer for 30 mins, will I be able to play that day?

[wind garden]

Yes

[calm shard]

Okay thanks

[safe spruce]

Definitely making my perfect game mode in portal

[fervent grove]

was literally just about to ask this

[mighty forge]

They do have some crazy terrain tools: https://youtu.be/tBXzyoK4GvE

[fervent grove]

Neither dualsense or dualsense edge are recognised by BF6, they don't work on past battlefield titles either. I used to get them working by opening DS4 windows & emulating them as xbox controllers but now ea anticheat makes me close it prior to launching the game. Steam controller input doesn't work either...

Anyone have a fix?

[sour inlet]

Guys , maybe someone have a key for me friend , please ?)

[cobalt narwhal]

Watch 30m of a qualified stream on 7th and can get one o1

[pliant plover]

what time does it drop Thursday is it 1am on west coast

[kindred agate]

Time codes are in #bf6-beta-info description and all the way in the first post.

[pliant plover]

ty

[lyric aurora]

Quem se inscreveu pelo battlefield labs é recebeu a key vai conseguir jogar o battle royale antecipadamente?

[royal chasm]

have they mentioned if we still need to use a website to make game types for portal?

or can we do it in game now?

[odd oriole]

More info later?

[sacred lagoon]

guys, i got the beta via twitch drops, i have already redeemed it on the site. on 7 july what do i have to do to play it?

[grim fossil]

wait till the 7th of august

[bronze socket]

If you redeemed it yes it worked

[bronze socket]

⚠️⚠️IF YOUR CODE ISNT WORKING DO THIS

⁠Go to https://myaccount.ea.com/am/ui/security-privacy
⁠Scroll to the bottom of the page and find the option to download your data
⁠Wait for the mail with the download link
⁠Once the download is complete, open the "Account-Info" HTML file
⁠Go to "Entitlements"
⁠If it says "beta_earlyaccess" and "Status ACTIVE" you have access

You’re looking for texts that looks like this

Entitlement_Tag":"beta_earlyaccess","Entitlement_ReceivedDate":"__","Reason_Status":null,"Status":"ACTIVE

This shit needs to get pinned already

[mighty forge]

Yeh

There’s a news article somewhere where it says something along the lines of “web portal builder”

[copper trench]

Guys , maybe someone have a key for me? pls?

[cobalt narwhal]

Watch stream on 7th for 30m and get one. Just make sure it's a qualified one

[dire flare]

if i have already signed up for BF Labs i will get access to the early access right ?

[cobalt narwhal]

Yes

[dire flare]

awesome, thanks

[cobalt narwhal]

Should be already able to get to menu screen. On lc at least

[short haven]

Any PC Gamers that want to squad up for BF6 DM me or Add me on EA: UCJOHN_

[proven veldt]

Yes

[river scarab]

No dedicated servers - blah

[timid schooner]

Is there a way we can confirm that we are good to play on the 7th?

[tepid condor]

Useless anti cheat confirmed

[river scarab]

🤷‍♂️

[muted surge]

again, if i had labs access on ps5 can i use same account and still have early access on pc?

[pliant sundial]

If you're able to get on the menus already does that mean you're eligible for early access?

[light verge]

I should have early access and I can get to menu screen, setting ect.

So I would imagine so

[timid schooner]

Whats menu screen? Or is that just the Early Access thing that comes up when you boot the game?

[hidden cloud]

this is so low to put keys in images to get on the 7th

[fresh sparrow]

any key for early access?

[hidden cloud]

https://discord.com/channels/140933721929940992/1402373470322429962

[fresh sparrow]

I imagine that those keys are used

[timid schooner]

they are within seconds

I know its probably not going to happen but they should just open it to everyone to get an honest test of launch day....

Remembering back to BF3 and BF4 EA servers couldnt handle the wave then... Id like them to get honest practice now during beta

[hidden cloud]

TPM 2.0 - Secure Boot than throwing early acces keys like bread

[fresh sparrow]

I've tried them all and they re all used 😔

[hidden cloud]

the number of reaction gives u the answer XD

[pliant sundial]

Yea same, I was able to mess with all the settings and everything but I wasn't sure if that was just something everyone else could do or not.

[hidden cloud]

u have to keep EA open on the redeaming key and prepare ur sniping tool to extract from the pic and activate the last are the middle one XD

[radiant harbor]

Dang, I missed my chance at a Key lol.

[hollow pebble]

Will probably be other chances at the start of early access

[lyric aurora]

[vast galleon]

The early access keys they're gonna be posting where do we redeem it?

[unborn chasm]

still having an issue with secure boot. tpm is enabled (asus mb) secure boot is set to user (cant enable it/ greyed out) any suggestions? also bios is updated (am4 mb)

[hollow pebble]

Set to custom and Re select the standard option again

[hollow pebble]

It at least worked for my gigabyte mobo. https://www.reddit.com/r/gigabyte/comments/v4t5an/secure_boot_enabled_but_not_active/

[hollow pebble]

Misread your comment. You need to disable some CSM setting in the bios first

[unborn chasm]

ok ill give that a shot

[hollow pebble]

CMS

[unborn chasm]

there’s launch csm. boot device control. boot from network device. boot from storage devices and another one. any idea?

[hidden cloud]

in EA app or the link they provided https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-6/redeem

[unborn chasm]

would send a picture but i can’t

[sinful locust]

Is there a way to tell if you got access already?

[unborn chasm]

ok so disable my csm did nothing but send my back to bios lol

this is crazy i have to do this to play a game lol

[woeful crypt]

i signed up for labs ages ago but i never got an email for early access

[unborn chasm]

same

[woeful crypt]

should just be, if you own any battlefield title in general

[unborn chasm]

looks like i wont be playing battlefield 6 at all. ive done everything in my bios and this shit still wont work lol

[timid schooner]

What motherboard and processor you have?

[unborn chasm]

asus strix b550a gaming
ryzen 9 3900x

[timid schooner]

Do you have secure boot keys?

[sinful locust]

If you signed up for Battlefield Labs before July 31, you don’t need a code. Just log in with the EA Account you registered with Battlefield Labs.

[wispy dirge]

what's wrong ?

[unborn chasm]

i saw it in the bios so i’m not quite sure what that is

[unborn chasm]

0 zero luck of launching the open beta due to secure boot

[wispy dirge]

You don't have secure boot ?

[unborn chasm]

can’t enable it

[timid schooner]

just asking if they are there. You should be able to load those keys.... and re-enable it... Do see you see something that says key management?

[wispy dirge]

Is CSM disabled ?

Launch CSM should be set to disabled

[unborn chasm]

i got stuff i gotta do so i can’t get to till later tonight but yes that was there.

[unborn chasm]

when i did that windows didn’t boot

[wispy dirge]

Bc you need to reformat and reload windows from a USB stick

[timid schooner]

When you get a chance go into that and choose and option that sayins install/load keys

[wispy dirge]

Backup your files, put Windows on a USB Key etc

CSM needs to be disabled no matter what

[slender vessel]

what to do if when i lunch bf 6 it shows me a lodaing screen then sends me back to the ea app

[wispy dirge]

Install it on steam

[vague rapids]

They need to drop more codes at a time this ain’t enough

[wispy dirge]

Drops are automatic

[upper swallow]

Interested to see what "stun grenades" are like in this game. If it's like the ones COD uses, that's one of the worst features in FPS games. Nothing makes a person move and turn in slow motion the way that does that. I think most of us dislike flashbangs but at least they're realistic. They'd be better off adding a different type concussion grenade or something.

[gusty phoenix]

So does the beta open tomorrow night? Or whats the schedule? Anyone know?

[light verge]

7th

[gusty phoenix]

what time?

[light verge]

I'll check

[junior hill]

I think it’s 1am PT

On the 7th

For the early access

[gusty phoenix]

Good god what kinda drop time is that

[light verge]

So I got the email about early access, and I linked my steam to my ea, so I should just have early access now on steam?

[gusty phoenix]

yes

[frosty radish]

yeah

[light verge]

Bet, thx

[tacit fiber]

Server Browser

[midnight vapor]

Nice. Just got my early access code.

[humble rune]

how do i get the early access to play august 7th

[midnight vapor]

There are a myriad of ways which are now closed, so the next opportunity will be watching streamers on Twitch for 30min.

On Aug 7

[humble rune]

i signed up for battlefield labs though

how do i check if i have the access

[midnight vapor]

Should be an email

[zinc snow]

was it during july 31 or later?

[humble rune]

before i think

think it might have even been june

[zinc snow]

then u should got a mail from EA about early access

[humble rune]

yea i couldnt find anything tho

i must have deleted it and forgot

[zinc snow]

check deleted folder then

[humble rune]

doesnt exist

[zinc snow]

ouch

[humble rune]

if its deleted its deleted

[vagrant flame]

Will i need PlayStation plus to play the bêta ?

[cinder bison]

why cant i pre load the game when i pre ordered it ?

[timid schooner]

PC or Console?

[cinder bison]

pc

steam

[timid schooner]

Completely close your steam.

even in the system tray

It needs to update. had the same issue

[cinder bison]

still didnt fix it

[pliant sundial]

They don't send you anything homie, you don't need a code when you enlist for the labs

You just hop on and play it says

[humble rune]

ok thx

[pliant sundial]

Yurr np

Just so long as you did it before the 31st and that said account is your ea account and all that

[rapid topaz]

hold up im confused do you need to have a code for the open beta this weekend or is it just for the 7/8th and open to everyone on the 9/10th

[pliant sundial]

Just 7/8th

That's early access

[rapid topaz]

thanks

[pliant sundial]

Mhm

[main pond]

says to me secure boot is not on

anyone playing/ed it yet?

[glass furnace]

can load into the menu n checkout settings but servers arent up yet

[main pond]

i cant open the game yet

https://help.ea.com/en/articles/technical-issues/secure-boot/

i did this and still cant open the game

[pliant sundial]

I'm not even sure what exactly that means if you can get on the game in the first place

Like does that mean you're in and you have access?

[keen hill]

Then enable it. If it's not on then you have to enable it in your BIOS

[main pond]

done that too aye

[burnt nymph]

Bing chilling

[reef flower]

what time do servers open on the 7th?

[burnt nymph]

Check dms

[main pond]

[fair fern]

[elder horizon]

When it start

[void needle]

bfportal community is also doing giveaway

[cinder bison]

[mighty forge]

[cinder bison]

rip guess am not playing cry

[fossil falcon]

Hey guys how you got the BF TAG?

[lofty walrus]

Hurry up and release more keys i neeeeeed 1

[rose saddle]

BF6 Beta says I need to update my Drivers, I'm running RTX4060, are Nvidia Drivers safe to update now?

[humble rune]

never

sell the 4060 and get a 6600xt

[rose saddle]

Ya boi broke dawg. I spent Motorcycle Helmet money on my current tower.

[thin ocean]

the new update seems to be fine, either way it requires you to update in order to play

[rose saddle]

Well that's what I'm getting at. I know it's required to play, I just play a handful of other games and I dont want anything to end up busted because I wanna play the Beta.

[humble rune]

wdym safe mode

secure boot?

[lean pier]

Been trying to fix the secure boot issue all day and still can’t launch the game. Guess I won’t be testing your beta after all. Great job, seriously.

[cobalt narwhal]

Got a copy and paste of what you've done?

I spent over an hour and finally got it last night

It said was on in bios but not Windows. In bios on my gigabyte board said not active under "enable" and wouldn't change for life of me

[lofty walrus]

if i got EA play pro do i need a code for the early access phase or do i just launch it through EA app and it should work on the 7th?

[thin ocean]

should just work

[lean pier]

Tried enabling Secure Boot from BIOS but it just sends my PC into a boot loop. Windows won’t even start. Tried enabling CSM too, nothing worked. I’m not about to risk messing up my system just to play a beta. Sad that we have to go through all this just to launch a game.

[pastel coyote]

it wouldn't be just for the beta, but for the game on release too

[cobalt narwhal]

Should t need come. Have you updated your bios recently

[main pond]

i just fixed this issue

take photos, send it ti chat gpt and it will tell you want to do

[cobalt narwhal]

What i did for 99% of the time lol

[humble rune]

gonna be for some of the older games soon too

[scarlet patio]

Guys I fixed the issue with my beta client by making a new user account on my system

[fast parrot]

probably been discussed before 1000x but i cannot find the open beta in steam

account is linked, and i got the email from labs

[glass furnace]

is there gonna be bots like in 2042 ?

[woeful crypt]

I wonder if we can make custom map meshes too

or will be just limited to adding things to existing maps

[tribal hill]

Do we know times on Thursday when we are getting access to BF6?

[pastel coyote]

Early access opens on August 7 at 8:00 UTC (1AM PT)

4AM Eastern

[austere ingot]

We'll probably be limited to models they give us. I look forward to playing with the tools. See what kind of stuff I can make.

Since I have a decent amount of experience in Godot. Imagine if DICE adopted community made maps if they got popular enough. Or being able to use Portal as a portfolio

[cobalt narwhal]

I can't be the only person that got the beta to launch last night just to launch it again tonight...just to make sure

[austere ingot]

Im just gonna assume it'll launch Saturday when I play since it launched yesterday

[cobalt narwhal]

Yeah likely safe. I wanted to look at settings again and see what fps did with different resolutions and bounced

[woeful crypt]

i've mapped with Hammer

so if they add displacements and such

i have ideas

models of course i cant see them

[austere ingot]

Godot itself is more limited in what u can really mess with than even Hammer.

Godot doesnt even have terrain tools

And the leader of the project has...opinions on terrains.

"Model the terrain out in third party software like blender and import it"

[small rock]

I hope it's true

[hard jetty]

EA Play Pro can play early 7th 100%

[stiff halo]

Curious how War Tapes will sound on my Sennheiser HD650 connected to Audient ID 14 MK II

i EQ'd my headphones to the low end so i can hear explosions more and the jets ofcourse

[ripe plume]

what timezone is the beta launches

[spring jetty]

6!6!6!

[cobalt narwhal]

1am pst

[tribal hill]

1AM PST = 3AM CST = 4AM EST?

[strong gale]

Yes

[wise vapor]

is the bet on

[hard jetty]

yeah

[tribal hill]

Im really interested to see how the new sniper stealth class works out

[stiff halo]

That its rip cod 2025? I put all my coins on the table

[frail plaza]

How do you download the beta on steam ?

[compact quiver]

look up BF6 in store and under the media just above purchase options, there will be a button to join the beta. It will then be in your library.

[wise vapor]

is the beta on or not ?

[stiff halo]

You need to go to the game page on the store

[wise vapor]

when re they starting

[compact quiver]

The 7th is closed beta. It opens to all on the 9th. Then continues the next Thursday to Sunday.

[pastel coyote]

Early Access starts August 7th,
1AM PST = 3AM CST = 4AM EST

[ripe plume]

It's 6pm for me

[wise vapor]

how do i access the cloesd betaa

[ripe plume]

Beta codes, battlefield labs account or EA play subscription

[cobalt narwhal]

Luuuucky

[compact quiver]

Other ways to get a code are in #bf6-early-access-keys they are randomly dropping them. When the closed beta starts you can watch a Twitch Stream with BF6 drops on for 30 minutes to get a code.

[cobalt narwhal]

Im not getting update 2am. May take work off to have some peace and it's my Friday anyways so good enough excuse

Up at 2am*

[ripe plume]

Oof 2AM

Good excuse to be up that late

[pastel coyote]

my secure boot was enabled already, my game loaded fine, a friend just installed and his secure boot is off, he's going to enable it now... fingers crossed lol

[cobalt narwhal]

Haha I'm used to crashing at midnight. I'll drag myself to 2 so I'll just get some sleep and game next day when I wake up. Just have to decide if I'm ditching the kids haha

[errant turtle]

Where do you redeem the code I pre loaded the beta on steam?

[ripe plume]

Oh no the kids haha

[pastel coyote]

is it mobo/bios specific if you can just switch on secure boot at will or do you need to reinstall windows with secure boot enabled

[cobalt narwhal]

Haha I know right.

It's possible you just toggle it on

[ripe plume]

You can just switch on secure boot in UEFI bios

[cobalt narwhal]

I had to update my bios because it wasn't toggling and then worked fine

[pastel coyote]

ok thx, waiting for his return if the toggle worked

[ripe plume]

Usually select custom and select new codes and it will turn on

[cobalt narwhal]

Fingers crossed for sure. I dragged my feet on updating biosnso inwasted an hour just for what I was avoiding to work lol

Exactly what I did

[compact quiver]

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-6/redeem

Redeem your code here when you get one from one of the methods.

[pastel coyote]

LOL I updated the shared calendar with my wife, the entry reads "Gaming like it's a Halo 2 Release Party" from 5pm - 11pm... lolol woman don't bother me plsss... she completely gets it, I'm off-duty all night, she already prepped a grocery list for snacks 😛

[ripe plume]

I'm loading up on energy drinks

Try get the most out of the beta

[cobalt narwhal]

You guys see all the un lockable through playing it?

[somber musk]

Someone still need a key?

[ripe plume]

Yeah the bat company dog tags 200 kills/assists i want them

I don't need one signed up to labs ages ago

[somber musk]

I want to unlock all stuff aswell. Also the twitch drops while open beta!

[compact quiver]

You got extras?

[cobalt narwhal]

Im gonna give it my best. Glad they are doing that as gives plenty to go for and encourage trying it all

[somber musk]

I have one yea, so if someone need it just lmk

[compact quiver]

I will take it

[thin ocean]

i could use it

[cobalt narwhal]

Rock paper scissors

Lol

[somber musk]

Be ready to redeem it

[thin ocean]

nah give to em

[somber musk]

Here you go guys

[compact quiver]

Appreciate it

[wise vapor]

how do i get one

[radiant harbor]

I estimate every 1hr 30mins to 2hrs, codes are posted.

[wise vapor]

are they dropping key in tiwch rn

[radiant harbor]

Twitch Drops start on the 7th.

[somber musk]

Does it work?

[compact quiver]

Yeah. It redeemed

[opal nest]

Doing LATV4 trophy boost right now

[keen kayak]

my PC says alarming things when I go to enable SecureBoot... like it's going to reset things to default. Do I need to worry about it bricking my system, deleting my files, or otherwise wreaking havoc on my PC?

[somber musk]

Did you try to play without enabling it?

[cobalt narwhal]

That won't impact your files tron. Assume you're trying to reset factory keys or being able to?

[keen kayak]

Yeah, it says in a pop-up dialogue box titled, "Security Violation": "SecureBoot is not enabled. Learn how to use SecureBoot at [go.ea.com/SecureBoot] (111)"

[cobalt narwhal]

Turning secure boot shouldn't hurt anything and doesn't have to do with any files. I had to reset factory keys to get it to sync with wi dows as windows said it was off and bios said it was on. Doing that did the trick no issues

Win11, gigabyte mobo

[keen kayak]

I went through the help page a couple days ago and did everything needed, including flashing my motherboard to latest rev, but when I got to the SecureBoot enable step on my MSI Tomahawk Z390, firstly it said it was already enabled. But when I selected something underneath that field to further make sure it was enabled, choosing a different option in that field is where it says it will reset to default

[cobalt narwhal]

Tell chat gpt which mobo you have and what it's doing even taking a picture of where something goes sideways as far as you think

What did you select underneath exactly

Reset factory keys or something?

[pastel coyote]

if you have windows 10 or 11 and uefi bios, you should be able to just enable secure boot, save and reboot

[wide swallow]

Who’s excited for bf6!!!

[pastel coyote]

turn on or set to "uefi"

[median folio]

No because ChatGPT will use that to take over the world

Bro ChatGPT is so dumb tho

And like some days your model just has Alzheimer’s or bipolar
