AFTER U DONE THIS MAKE SURE U TRHOW AWAY DAYZ FROM YOUR DOCUMENTS TO!!!! WORK FOR ME. For those still having trouble, there are a few methods to manually install the newest updates for Batteleye when they come out. This is just one of them, that works for me and has previously been touched upon. This pertains to Windows 8.1 as that is the op system Im running, but should also work for Win 7, etc. 1. Manually download the latest battleye file from here http://www.battleye.com/download.html (obviously you want the top file for Dayz) 2. You need to have your "hidden" system files available for view. This can be done by double clicking "My Computer" (for Win 7 users) or "This PC" (Win 8 users) and at the top row of buttons there is one called "view" Click that and you will see on the far right hand side an option to check that says "hidden files" For Windows 8.1 users if you have not made a shortcut to "This PC" you can navigate to it by entering the "metro interface" by hitting the windows button on your keyboard, clicking the round circle with the downward arrow and then scrolling over to "This PC" If you have not updated to 8.1 yet, then just type "This PC" in the search bar. 3. Navigate to this file structure by following the steps in #2. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\DayZ there you will find a Batteleye folder which its contents are not locked. Enter that folder and delete BEClient.dll. 4. Go to wherever you saved your new BEClient.dll file that you previously just downloaded and cut and paste that into the folder. 5. Now if you have trouble with the next step with the folder being locked so you cant delete it, a simple reboot of your computer will free up the folder for deletion. 6. navigate to C:\Users\this will be the name of your computer\AppData\Local\DayZ This is the batteleye folder you will delete. Like stated previously, if it tells you its locked, just reboot your computer and dont load up dayz or anything else. Just go straight there and it will be unlocked because Steam hasn't got a chance to lock it yet since you have not ran Dayz. 7. Now load up Dayz and join a regular server (have not tested on hardcore yet) and your Batteleye will update correctly and make a new folder where you previously deleted the last one. 8. ^^^Note^^^ I have created a "downloads" folder on my desktop where I store all my files that I download from the net. If you don't cut and paste the BEClient.dll file and just merely copy it, the next time you download the newest version of BEClient.dll to your download location, if it's the same, it will rename it so its not a duplicate file. That's why I say cut and paste, so you dont have to manually rename the file again etc. 9. Profit **I've had to do this method the last few times for all batteleye updates. I'm guessing its because Steam locks the Folder for "hacking" reasons or something. I'm not sure if some people don't have this issue at all and their Battleye updates correctly or not. I've just built a new system, and fresh install of everything. So I know nothing has been deleted or corrupted on my system, so something is broke along the lines here somewhere between Steam/Battleye etc.** ***Disclaimer - You will now be able to access hidden files and folders on your hard drive. I take no responsibility for accidental deletion of said files and folders, and system crashes if you delete something you shouldn't*** This was merely a guide relating to Dayz and battleye to get it working for those having trouble***
