  Please drink verification can.

  Imma sit out this game. Zero interest in secure boot since I can’t dual boot with it enabled.

  Honestly, if Overwatch doesn’t need this shit, I don’t see why Call of Battlefield needs it either.

    Most securw boot implentations allow you to add your own certs to just images for. But yeah, a pain in the dick for video games

      I was doing that until Microsoft pushed an update that fucked it up. I can’t be bothered paying attention to Windows updates to know when they’re patching a Secure Boot club vulnerability that’ll bork my machine so I’ve had it off since.

      I’m being lazy but I’m looking forward to Windows 10 support ending so I can get off my ass and switch over to Linux fully. An old Windows 10 image can sit in a dusty VM with GPU pass through for the odd game that doesn’t work though Proton or natively.

    Still fucking sucks that secure boot is a requirement, but you can actually dual boot with it on, just requires some extra work. I’m doing it currently with Windows 11 and Fedora KDE so I can play BF6 with friends.
