All of the talk around secure boot with Battlefield 6 got me thinking.... What would a requirement like that mean to Tarkov?

If BSG required secure boot and TPM 2.0 for the anti cheat with Tarkov, would you still play Tarkov?

For everyone who thinks this gives BSG remote access to your PC or something: Secure Boot doesn't give them any more permissions beyond what they already have. It's just there to validate the integrity of the information they already receive.

BSG could integrate with the FSB and still never make a dent in the problem

If BSG required a machine inspection to play, I would absolutely do that if it meant no cheaters. I have nothing to hide nor do I care what people see on my machine. Do it, if it meant no cheaters. In the words of the peanut, I WOULD FILL MY PC WITH MAYONNAISE IF IT MEANT NO CHEATERS”

Already got secure boot on for vanguard and apparently vanguard detects tarkov cheats better than battleeye does.

Tarkov needs this genuinely. The difference in accessibility to cheats would change drastically with this one change and people getting banned (at least to my knowledge) would actually stay banned as spoofing hardware would no longer work

The issue with the secure boot and the tpm 2. Is that older systems can't run them. I play tarkov just fine on my toaster, but I can't run the secure boot or tpm on my system. I just had to drop 1k to buy new parts to be able to play battlefield and newer games.

Think most PCs should have this enabled by default with modern hardware. For my x3D processor it was actually a requirement.

I won't play tarkov again. A lot of deaths are legit but because some are cheaters you end up questioning every loss and wondering if anyone is legit

I enabled it for bf6 already so might as well do it for other games now.

No, I’m not interested enough in Tarkov right now to bother messing around in BIOS. Plus this just feels like another bandaid fix on the client side rather than addressing core security problems in the game, which is why we see new weird cheats every wipe (eg the semi-recent vacuum cheat) and part of why cheating is so prevalent in this game

I would let game devs to scan my memories, if it means zero cheaters in games

I bricked my PC following the secure boot steps for BF6. Gotta fix it this weekend. :(

Anyone who says they wouldn’t turn it on, almost 100% cheats, tpm is something that is becoming more mainstream making it much harder to cheat

BSG needs to get on it for 1.0. The cheating problem, the way it is after 10 years is crazy.

I enjoy Tarkov so much that I'd be willing to have an intrusive anti cheating measures at this point for an enjoyable time on Tarkov

I'm someone who uses a TOR browser often. So no, I'll never enable secure boot.
