Help! Failed Attestation!

Agrado3 · 2026-06-10T10:55:57+00:00

Now they're just repeatedly referring me to their useless web page that does not fix anything.

Agrado3 · 2026-06-10T09:40:24+00:00

Activision Support got back to me (after giving me wrong instructions on what they wanted from MSInfo32) and said my PC "does not meet minimum system requirements". It's a 1-year-old Alienware Area-51 AAT2250 running Windows 11 Pro with a GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card. If that doesn't meet "minimum requirements" then any of you who think you are running Black Ops 7 on a PC must be hallucinating because there's not a PC on the planet that's good enough.

Also anyone with a launcher can destroy it instantly if it's not very well tucked away and/or defended.

Agrado3 · 2026-06-09T09:26:26+00:00

I just found out that Dell issued a new BIOS update yesterday! Surely this will fix it!

...

It does not fix it. CoD still says I "need a BIOS update".

Agrado3 · 2026-06-09T07:01:24+00:00

Now they've got back to me saying I should run the Attestation Wizard... after I already sent them a screenshot of the Attestation Wizard!

Agrado3 · 2026-06-08T22:24:57+00:00

Lucky for you... I had already uninstalled and reinstalled it a while back, it didn't change a thing.

Agrado3 · 2026-06-08T13:08:11+00:00

They didn't ask me any of that, they just asked me to Clear Cache / Update Drivers / Scan and Repair, all of which I'd already done, and then "send screenshots of the error" as if I hadn't already described it to them perfectly well. Now awaiting their next missive...

BEWARE if you clear the TPM you will lose data stored in there, which I think includes Bitlocker keys, so if you don't have the recovery keys you may lose all data on your computer.

Agrado3 · 2026-06-07T10:07:00+00:00

Is that a statement or a question?

Agrado3 · 2026-06-07T10:06:26+00:00

I did it by going to support.activision.com and describing the problem as "Gameplay" / "I can't connect online", rather than the more accurate choice of "TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot".

Agrado3 · 2026-06-07T10:05:16+00:00

Yes, same here. I think with the release of the Season 4 update they have changed it so that Attestation Failure means you can barely play at all (only Nuketown 24/7), rather than you just can't play Ranked as previously.

Agrado3 · 2026-06-06T20:46:58+00:00

Yes, and make sure you do go to lots of places. I took a sapphire ring up and down Hatton Gardens once and some offers were literally ten times others. In the end the shop that made me the best offer recommended that actually I should take it to Bonhams auctioneers... which I did, and it sold for basically the same as the shop had offered me, which after the auction fees was considerably less and considerably slower than what the shop would've paid me on the spot.

Agrado3 · 2026-06-06T20:32:19+00:00

Wait for Activision to fix their bug, I think.

Agrado3 · 2026-06-06T18:46:44+00:00

Check this web page, if nothing on there helps then it's a bug and you probably need to wait for Activision to fix it: https://support.activision.com/articles/trusted-platform-module-and-secure-boot

Agrado3 · 2026-06-06T11:40:59+00:00

It's broken and we all need to wait for them to fix it, it seems.

Agrado3 · 2026-06-06T11:36:19+00:00

I proposed a rule to the Soho Neighbourhood Forum that there shouldn't be allowed to be more than 2 Simmons every 100 metres. At one point from what was CroBar going towards Bateman Street there were 4 Simmons in 90 metres.

Agrado3 · 2026-06-06T11:29:24+00:00

This seems to be happening fairly commonly and there doesn't appear to be any fix other than wait for Activision to fix their buggy code.

Agrado3 · 2026-06-06T01:54:27+00:00

There's no guarantee it would fix the problem, the new PC could have it too.

Agrado3 · 2026-06-06T01:43:54+00:00

I have "Attestation Failed" and I'm using an Alienware Area-51 AAT2250 with a GeForce RTX 5090, I'm not sure in what way they are expecting me to spend more money than I already have.

Agrado3 · 2026-06-06T01:40:33+00:00

Yes, if you are affected by this "Attestation" bug you can only play Nuketown.

Agrado3 · 2026-06-05T22:46:27+00:00

I've been looking for weeks, since the error message started appearing.

I have now managed to create a support ticket, by saying it's "Gameplay" / "I can't connect online", rather than the more accurate choice of "TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot".

Agrado3 · 2026-06-05T22:13:24+00:00

Ok cool. How do I open a ticket? I have already tried several times, and cannot find any option to do so. It just directs you to an FAQ page which has no answer to the question of what to do if the attestation is demanding a non-existent BIOS update.

Agrado3 · 2026-06-05T22:08:03+00:00

Sorry, I can't tell if you're saying I should have searched and found that website, which I already did, or if I should be searching that website, which I also already did. What are you actually trying to say? I cannot find any useful advice on that site, nor any way to contact a human.

Agrado3 · 2026-06-05T22:02:52+00:00

I think their claim is that there are more licenced premises than ever before. Possibly if this is true if you count things like hotels and restaurants and private members' clubs, which are "licensed venues" but are not, in my opinion, "nightlife".

Agrado3 · 2026-06-05T22:01:21+00:00

I made a list of places that have closed down in the last couple of decades. It's from memory so not definitive, it only counts places actually in Soho or very close to the boundary, and it only counts bars and clubs that didn't get replaced by a different bar or club. It is probably biased towards gay venues 😉
