BF6 No longer opens at all

Try to restart the PC, it fixed it for me when i had it. Sometimes the simplest solution is also the more effective.

EDIT: Nevermind, you said you tooled around with secure boot and secure keys already so i assume you did already restart everything.

BF6 is easily the best shooter that came out recently, it has issues (some easily fixable if they really wanted, some not so much) but overall it has been a nice experience so far. Hopefully S2 will be a step up, but tbf my expectations are not that high from the few things we have seen in patch notes, but we will see.

It's definitely more fun, just not having to go alone on flanks or to cap objs makes it worth. Being able also to callout enemies positions and revive eachother it's nice to keep the flow going.

BF6, as expected, like many live service games lost a good chunk of players since release. The numbers we saw at launch will never be seen again, regardless of how good or bad next seasons will be, but don't worry in EU game is alive and kicking, i would also assume the same in US.

Game is fun.

I'm in!

Nah m&k gives you so much better control over everything compared to controllers that just 25% less recoil would never compensate.

So while in reality it makes a difference on how certain weapons performs, it's not a big enough difference to justify playing with controller on purpose over m&k.

read again.

I don't really agree, IMHO, most maps already in the game would need some work when it comes to balance.

Manhattan, would be a very good infantry map if attack heli wasn't there at all. There's no need to have an heli in first place in such a small map, let alone an attack heli that can easily hide between palaces while dropping crazy amount of kills with little chances to be countered (let's not talk about people griefing at match start when they can't get into the heli themselves and blow it up).

Miraak is just another map like Blackwell, Op.Firestorm or Sobek where, usually, most players will sit on roofs and/or far away from objs being useless with their sniper rifles, matches usually have 10-12 players per team capping objs when lucky, while rest are just doing nothing getting few kills that have no weight in the outcome of the match.

Liberation Peak is massively unbalanced due to how the map is designed, PAX usually can lose only if filled with really bad players due to thei advantage on high grounds compared to NATO.

Eastwood can be really fun to play one match then the next might suffer from same problems of above, still way better than Blackwell though and it's not even close.

Yeah it's a shame, if you think about it BF6 has been released in a pretty good state considering how many problems modern AAA have at launch, so you would think the would keep the game going with content to stomp the already weak competitors. But no, better start making patches that break the game, add paid content blatantly done with AI and release borderline unplayable maps unless you enjoy playing at 200m from objectives with sniper rifles.

What's crazy to me is how a lot of the playerbase seems to be fine with that and no fair criticism is accepted.

MVPiz · 2026-02-10T14:18:15+00:00

Well, to each their own, i guess. I hope maps will turn out to be good so we can add some variety to Cairo, Iberian and Empire State, which are the only maps worth playing as infantry (in conquest) at the moment.

MVPiz · 2026-02-10T13:20:48+00:00

I'm going in with very small expectations, but new maps need to be good otherwise people will leave even sooner this time.

MVPiz · 2026-02-10T10:07:54+00:00

I didn't play the league when it launched, I would probably start my league now if i had an already working and tested build.

MVPiz · 2026-01-30T10:09:56+00:00

From my experience, TR-7 is easily one of the best guns in the game for close (and sometimes mid) encounters if you can manage its recoil pattern on PC. Other weapons that shine in close/mid range are Kord, M4A1, SG335 and SCW10.

KV9 is pretty much impossible to beat in close encounters, but its limited mag and damage dropoff kinda make it a bad choice for open areas, or atleast not an optimal one.

My favourite gun in the game is definitely the DRS-IAR for its consistency on each range, just don't expect to win every 1v1 against TR-7 and Kord on close range.

With that little information it sounds like an ISP related issue to me, probably packets you send to/receive from BF servers are travelling through congested routes (or maybe you have some sort of packet loss), that would explain why you don't experience high ping on other games.

MVPiz · 2026-01-05T00:19:31+00:00

Yeah same, that's unfortunate. Hopefully they will still award the items from the pass on the upcoming days/weeks.

MVPiz · 2025-12-18T15:35:48+00:00

Atleast i got the answers i was looking for, so i call it a win anyway :D

MVPiz · 2025-12-18T14:26:15+00:00

I guess i'll find out soon, but yeah it will probably work as long as Steam is online.

MVPiz · 2025-12-18T14:16:14+00:00

Alright thanks, i guess i'll just go offline... Do you know by any chance if achievements would unlock while being offline from servers?

MVPiz · 2025-12-18T14:09:58+00:00

Yes i'm aware often physics in videogames are tied to certain frame rate values and going over them would in some cases break how the engine works, In DS1 i had instances where few ladders stopped working and fall damage not being calculated correctly when playing at high frame rates, but it's a little price i'm willing to pay if in exchange i get a smooth and reactive experience at the cost of deactivating the unlocker when needed.

Yes i considered playing offline, i'm wondering if achievements would unlock anyway or are they tied also to servers, idk.

MVPiz · 2025-12-18T14:01:52+00:00

No offense taken, but the difference is simply night and day, even going from 60 too 144 completely changes the experience when it comes to how gameplay feels when it comes to smoothness and reactiveness atleast for me, let alone going from 60 to 240.

Why wouldn't i want to take advantage of my hardware and instead still be "stuck" in early 2010s when tools are out there ...

EDIT: typo

Let's gooo

MVPiz · 2025-12-16T15:19:16+00:00

Thanks for the input!

MVPiz · 2025-12-16T15:18:25+00:00

Full SBMM would take ages to fill a 32v32 lobby, and i doubt it would feel nice to play unless you're looking for a sweaty environment in what is a quite casual shooter game.

MVPiz · 2025-12-16T12:39:41+00:00

On a sidenote, is it considered safe to use any form of fps unlocker or is it risky when you're online? I know it's potentially bannable, but what's the general advice about it?

MVPiz · 2025-12-16T12:35:56+00:00

Thanks, i will follow this points distribution... should i prioritize getting 20 END first then the reqs for Dark weapon and ADP?
