All the issues in Battlefield 6 open beta weekend 2 explained
Battlefield 6 open beta weekend 2 has become life today. This phase of the beta has come up with many new features like maps, game modes, challenges, and many more, besides pre-existing in-game assets. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The previous phase notched up a mammoth player-count of over 500k players, and the second phase is expected to achieve the same feat as well. However, due to some issues, it seems the weekend 2 of Battlefield 6 open beta has really stumbled hard. What are the issues in Battlefield 6 open beta weekend 2? It's not like that weekend 1 in Battlefield 6 open beta was completely free from any kinds of issues. Many people were prompted to . But that's mostly all about it. On the other hand, the second weekend of the open beta has come up with numerous issues, which have really disrupted the gameplay vibe of Battlefield 6. Many Battlefield 6 players have complained that they experienced longer-than usual matchmaking waiting times. Not only that, even after waiting for a significant amount of time, matchmaking processes were allegedly canceled when pressing play of a playlist. Many players didn't even get the option to play the game after starting it. This is not the end. The Party System wasn't working properly, so it was pretty hard for the players to communicate with their teammates. The Secure Boot error has again showed up as well, as many PC players got several error messages despite their Secure Boot being enabled on their BIOS. Besides all of these issues, the DLSS and DLAA features were also missing from the game. These two are advanced graphical mechanisms, where the former boost performance and the latter maximizes image qualities. Many players having NVIDIA GPUs are fans of these two technologies. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now So, the availability of these features is shocking as well. Battlefield 6 is in its beta stage right now. Also, over 300k players flocked to the game all at once. These issues were quite evident. Now, just like the developers fixes most of the persisting issues from the first weekend of the beta, they are expected to do the same this time too, as two days of non-stop Battlefield 6 action is yet to continue.

Aussie BMW driver exposed for 'careless' parking in popular spot
Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News. Finding a car park at your local shopping centre can be a battle to say the least. But, it's made far worse with the help of selfish individuals like these. An Aussie driver has been exposed online after committing a parking sin so severe it caught the attention of other shoppers - and people are not impressed. Want to join the family? Sign up to our Kidspot newsletter for more stories like this. Image: Reddit. RELATED: ALDI shoppers confused over checkout act 'Just a spoiled asshole in a BMW' A Sydney Reddit user has taken to the platform to expose a driver at Marrickville Metro. The driver is committing what they've called a 'double whammy' - parking not only across two spots, but also in a Woolworths Direct To Boot spot. 'Parked across two spots including the Woolworths Direct To Boot spot,' the poster wrote. 'Not in their car. Not collecting anything from Woolworths.' The user called this behaviour completely entitled. 'Just a spoiled asshole in a BMW,' they said. RELATED: Woolworths has launched a new bag and people are obsessed 'Without a care for others' Commenters noted how frustrating this behaviour is - and annoyingly common. Woolworths' Direct To Boot spots are generally closer to the doors, and for some, the closer spot is worth it. 'Noticed lots of people seem to park in Coles Click & Collect and Woolworths Direct to Boot spaces to be closer to the door, without a care for others that actually want to use the spaces as intended,' one commenter said. 'Pretty sure they know they won't be booked,' another agreed. 'They even moved the Woolworths one further away from the doors. Didn't stop assholes parking and not getting groceries. Seen it loads of times,' the poster responded. Originally published as Aussie BMW driver exposed for 'careless' parking in popular spot

Battlefield 6 Open Beta on PC: How to turn on secure boot in multiplayer shooter game; follow the steps to enter warfare
EA's Dice studio has released Battlefield 6 's first public beta version ahead of the full game release on October 10, 2025. The beta version of the multiplayer first-person shooter game is live right now and will be available on two consecutive weekends. The first open beta weekend has kicked off and will go through August 11, 2025. The second weekend will start at 1 a.m. PT on August 14, 2025, and run through August 16. For all the gamers who have booted the game up to see an error message asking to turn on Secure Boot, they have probably not yet entered into any warfare. Secure Boot is a setting that can be turned on through the BIOS that adds a layer of protection when booting up your PC. Battlefield 6 compulsorily requires players to turn on secure boot before the game can be loaded. Here's a walkthrough of how to enable this setting. Productivity Tool Zero to Hero in Microsoft Excel: Complete Excel guide By Metla Sudha Sekhar View Program Finance Introduction to Technical Analysis & Candlestick Theory By Dinesh Nagpal View Program Finance Financial Literacy i e Lets Crack the Billionaire Code By CA Rahul Gupta View Program Digital Marketing Digital Marketing Masterclass by Neil Patel By Neil Patel View Program Finance Technical Analysis Demystified- A Complete Guide to Trading By Kunal Patel View Program Productivity Tool Excel Essentials to Expert: Your Complete Guide By Study at home View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals Batch 2 By Ansh Mehra View Program What is Secure Boot? by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas Prices In Dubai Might Be More Affordable Than You Think Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Quote Undo The EA support site, the game publisher, has elaborated on what Secure Boot is and does for all PC gamers. Some EA games require Secure Boot. It is a Windows 10 and Windows 11 security feature that ensures your PC only loads safe software during startup. Secure Boot allows games supported by EA Javelin Anticheat to detect and remove bad actors, resulting in fewer cheaters and a better experience for players. It basically helps the Battlefield 6 team fight back against would-be cheaters. Live Events How to check if Secure Boot is on Select the Windows Key + R. This will open the Run window. Type msinfo32 and select the Enter key or OK. Select System Summary from the System Information window that opens. Scroll down to find these values: The BIOS Mode value should be UEFI, and the Secure Boot State value should be on. If Secure Boot State is Off, we'll need to check the BIOS Mode and then enable it. If Secure Boot State is Unsupported, check with your motherboard manufacturer's specification sheet or manual to see if Secure Boot is supported. If BIOS Mode is UEFI, then you can move on to how to enable Secure Boot . If BIOS Mode is Legacy, you'll need to check if your Windows disk is MBR or GPT. How to turn on Secure Boot How you enter your BIOS depends on your motherboard. Each brand has its own key you press repeatedly during startup, usually F2, F10, F12, or Delete. But if you're on Windows 11, there's an even easier way to enter into the BIOS without restarting your PC. Open your Start menu, then click the power button on the bottom right. Hold the Shift key and click Restart. This will boot your PC into the Windows Recovery Environment. On this blue screen, select Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > UEFI Software Settings > Restart. You will now enter the BIOS. Look for one of two menus: Security or Boot. Either way, within one of these menus will be the Secure Boot toggle. Set Secure Boot to enabled. Now, the next step is to ensure that the settings are saved. After everything is done, leave the BIOS to boot up Windows 11.

SOLDIER Reworks Timberland's 6-Inch Zipper Boot
ForSOLDIER, strength is less of a force than a porosity of being. It's a tender pursuit of the world, guided by imagination, vulnerability and purpose. Over the last few years, the Lagos-born, London-based artist has carved a name for himself on the global stage using mixed-media works as a language for personal reflection and societal commentary, all with the hopes to bring like-minded creatives along for the ride. His practice is one rooted in transformation: of the self, of space and how we connect to the world around us. Now, he reunites withTimberlandfor their second creative project, lending his artistic eye to the iconic 6-Inch Zipper Boot. Dubbed The Tiger, the design draws on SOLDIER's signature use of camouflage as a countercultural symbol, with bold striped patterns that nod to lineages and streetwear and military heritage. The shoe also channels the beloved 'beef and broccoli' colorway — long a fixture in NYC street style — grounding the piece in cultural history, while pushing the expectations of the model's look and feel forward Much like his reworkedYellow Boot,and practice at large, The Tiger stands as an ode to rebellion, self-expression and living life off the beaten path. On the occasion of the project, we caught up with SOLDIER to talk the poetics of camouflage, inspirations behind the boot and art's power to reflect and reshape the world. Read below for the full interview. />[/slider]'What is a symbol that embodies my memories, who I am and what I want to represent?' Camouflage came to mind… it meant reclaiming something that could be turned into something beautiful. What's it been coming together with Timberlands for The Tiger? Last year's lace-ups were so well received, so it feels great to get to continue this narrative between myself and Timberland. With this, I wanted to work towards something bigger, and it's been amazing putting ideas down, getting apparel up and having people experience my work in a different form. Can you walk us through the design and name some inspirations for the boots? No pun intended — The Tiger's are wild. When you think of Timberland, the lace-ups or hiking boots come to mind, but from the get go, we were given a silhouette that was really different. At first, it was a challenge for me — understanding how I wanted them to look and feel — though eventually, I was able to lean into it and create something unique and really rare. 'Beef and broccoli' is an OG colorway. I wasn't raised in America, but especially the green and brown, it's easy to see how New York's influence of New York seeps. Growing up, I'd hear Tupac when I would get my haircut in salons in the middle of Lagos. I didn't know anything about him — I could barely speak English at the time. So in a way, this shoe is a culmination of those influences. What role does camouflage play in your practice as a whole? A lot of my work explores camouflage as a metaphor. When I first started skateboarding, WAFFLESNCREAM and my collective Motherlan were the first of their kind in Lagos. I'd see the pattern on pants and decks, but quickly found out that civilians aren't allowed to wear camouflage in Lagos. I got pulled over by the army. Fast forward to getting a scholarship to come to London during COVID, I asked myself, 'What is a symbol that embodies my memories, who I am and what I want to represent?' Camouflage came to mind. A. because of my experiences, B. because I'm very anti-war, and C. because it meant reclaiming something man-made that, on its face, wasn't great, but could be turned into something beautiful. Camouflage is centered in floral patterns; it's rooted in function rather than war. You draw on several places around the world, and the use of camouflage speaks to moving through those spaces with ease. People are more than just the place they're from. Sure, I was born and raised in Lagos, but the human experience is everything you gather from all around the world. Everyone in this world should have the ability to move around, travel and have all these amazing experiences because so many special things can come from them. The boots are being launched in a way that feels similar to an art drop. How do you envision them out in the world? I wanted them to be like a limited-edition print. We only made 50, so they're going to be difficult to get, and like every other artwork in the world, we wanted to keep it rare. When we were designing the shoe, we really wanted to stray away from the classic city look and create something that felt more off grid. The kind of shoe where you put them on and could be on a farm, in the world or just exploring. That's the way I've been feeling recently: out in reality, out in the wild a bit more. My studio is next to a river, so I spend most of my time in nature. There's a part of me that wants to go off the grid, that wants to get away from the stress of the city and social media and the shoe embodies that feeling. I was quite young – 23 at the time – and my practice was a bit more hands-on, it felt quite raw. Now, there's a new level of refinement in my work and you can see that showcased in The Tiger. That's my goal now: to keep the emotional intensity, while reaching for a new level of refinement. Whether it be through art or fashion, what do you want people to take away from your work?I've been making and looking at art my whole life, but as I got older, I realized that I didn't feel represented by the artwork around me. For a while it felt distant, like a shiny toy you couldn't play with. In music and fashion, you see so many people playing and immersing themselves in those worlds, but in art that was more rare. I just want to put all my experiences out there. I want to make work for a younger version of myself person, like me, who could see my work as a safe haven. It's a way for me to understand and make sense of the world I live in and express it. It can be used politically, it can be used to make a stand, it can be used to change people's minds – that's what my practice means to me. I believe in beauty. I do think the world needs to be a bit more beautiful because we spend so much of our time in a world of ugly systems and I feel like it takes the edge off – when you can come back home and see a nice painting or lilacs next to woods. I like the aesthetics of everything. Have any advice for young artists? People won't always give you the ability to say something, so you need to find your own way to say it. I decided to become an artist knowing the pains that come from it, but if you can find something you love and hold onto it no matter what, no one can take it away from you.
