On PC, Battlefield 6 only runs with TPM 2.0 and UEFI Secure Boot enabled (Steam also lists HVCI and VBS capable), and EA Help says EA Javelin anticheat refuses to start alongside disallowed software such as Interception, AutoHotkey and reWASD. For some players that means a game that will not launch at all.

Questions for PC players:
- Did you have to enable Secure Boot or TPM in your BIOS to play? Was it simple, or did it break something (dual boot, Linux, older motherboard)?
- Have you seen “EA Javelin anticheat encountered an error” (or error 94)? What fixed it: running the EA app as administrator, launching from the EA app, or reinstalling Javelin?
- Did you have to uninstall or close a tool (AutoHotkey, reWASD, a controller remapper) to play? Is that ban fair against cheating, or too strict for accessibility and controller users?
- Since update 2.1.2.0 (November 10), are your crashes to desktop gone?
Please share your setup (CPU, GPU, Windows version, Steam / EA app / Epic) and what worked.
