MP 7,1 Hilarious gaming limitation with TPM2.0

[SDAVE]

So I've been dual booting to Windows for years (currently on Win11) and yesterday I installed Call of Duty Black Ops 7 and I got a warning that the system doesn't support TPM2.0, which is true.

I just thought it's hilarious that they don't allow you to play a game because of a hardware security feature 🤣

a gamer friend of mine told me that the TPM 2.0 requirement has more to do with anti-cheating enforcement than copy protection. Still, its a pain.

Secure Boot is another system-level feature that helps protect against low-level cheats by ensuring only trusted software loads during your PC’s startup. Enabling Secure Boot alongside TPM 2.0 provides an added layer of protection and is recommended for the best, most secure Call of Duty® experience.

BS excuse probably pushed by Microsoft. The system is more than capable enough of playing anything really.

Yep, AMD are no better as they wont release drivers for the mpx 6800 or 6900 cards. Of course they blame Apple and Apple blame AMD. Embarrassingly bad customer service from both.

To be fair the MPX cards were very custom, the TPM2.0 limitation is 100% set by Microsoft so people do forced upgrades to Windows 11/Windows 12 (upcoming).

Kind of irritates me because I was about to get a 5090 for my Mac Pro and turn it into a Windows machine soon...

You could just stick with Windows 10. For CoD7 and BF6 you still aren't going to be able to play them even with Windows 10 because Macs doesn't support Secure Boot or TPM2 which is required for the anticheat.

I've been on Windows 11 for a while, I bypassed TPM2.0 during installation. All games work fine, just CoD7 does a hardware check, there's probably a way to bypass that too but I'm too lazy to check

Changing the startup security setting from no security to medium security solved the problem for me. BF6 has the same requirements and I got that message and was prevented from starting due to no TPM but oddly enough, changing startup security solved that.

Nice I'll give that a shot!
So you are not getting the TPM2.0 error anymore in Windows 11?
