I got an email from EA saying I can play early access. Does this mean I can play on any platform early as long as I log in using the email address they sent the email too?

Is that Kernel Level Anti-cheat just the Secure Boot thing, or something else on top of that?
 
I'm planning to buy a 5070 Ti next week, if all goes well, but I think it's unlikely I'll get it in time to play the beta. I'll have to take my chances with the 1080 Ti, at least on low settings it should run.
 
Dont you need secure boot for windows 11? I remember having to turn on Secure Boot to downgrade to Win11.

Anyway I have a beta code and am not sure if I will try on PC or PS5.

I think it was rodrigolfp rodrigolfp that posted about it in the other thread but it's the same Javelin system that 2042 had.

I was under the impression that if you were in Labs or have a code that it works on any account linked to your EA so if you have your PSN/Steam linked you should be able to play on everything.

No, Secure Boot is just a requirement, the kernel level anti-cheat is a separate driver (called Javelin) that installs alongside the game and runs with deep system access. Secure Boot just ensures it can't be bypassed, but the anti-cheat itself does more and stays on your system unless you manually remove it.

What is "closed weapons" referring to? I'm out of the loop.

Community is split on closed or open classes/weapons.

There is both options in the game (for now). I knocked up the OT in like 5 minutes and it was the first thing that came to mind.

I'd want it like BF3/4. So closed right? Been awhile since I've played them.

The shotgun looks OP in close quarters. That's how I plan to roll.

Both ways are available both in the Beta and at launch for you to play.

Personally I think the way they have open set up could work. In that you can pick weapons outside of your class but you loose the perks and it will therefore handicap you for doing so.

Yeah the Shotgun look OP.

Open weapons is dumb as shit.
Battlefield is great because it's closed weapons with a tiny pool of "shared" weapons.

That's as open as it should get.

Having an assault class running around with a sniper sounds like a great way to lose the match.

It states that early access is available via Twitch drops, what about pre-order? I don't get access if I preorder? Sounds ludicrous.

Your moaning that you don't have to spend money>?

The beta is free for everyone, if you want 2 days early access just stick twitch on muted on a background tab for half hour.

This beta and the game will be huge man. I have countless people on my friends list who played the OG BF games 10-15 years ago, but all of them skipped the last 3 games. Everybody is coming back for this

Same .. my friends who are only playing Arma Reforger, Squad etc that skipped last 4 battlefields...they are all playing the beta tomorrow, feels so weird considering they were hating on BF last 10 years. This will break records for EA.
