Error Code: FACEIT-SECURE-BOOT

Secure Boot needs to be enabled

FACEIT Anti-Cheat refuses to launch, stating: 'Secure Boot needs to be enabled to launch FACEIT AC'.

Why it happens

To maintain competitive integrity, FACEIT requires Secure Boot to block unauthorized kernel modifications.

How to fix it

Restart your computer, enter the BIOS, ensure CSM is disabled, and turn on Secure Boot. You may need to 'Restore Default Keys'.

Recommended Steps:

  1. 1

    Click Find My PC below if you aren't sure what motherboard you have.

  2. 2

    Open the Interactive Wizard to get step-by-step instructions for your specific BIOS.

  3. 3
