wow lucky you.

As title says it was working perfectly fine I guess till today. it would give me a white popup everytime I click on a server play button saying initializing BE.... failed to update BE.. and a whole paragraph below that. but it would popup an disappear so fast like 1 sec I cant read the rest then mod server would go ahead an launch, I'm using day z launcher. its so confusing why cant it just be simple an work? ive tried disabling antivirus uninstalling BE but its even hard to get it to uninstall. seems like I have BE everywhere. if I uninstall it in programs its still in my arma 2/OA/folders I have all this in my second drive. but then in my main c drive I still have BE files as well. program files 86x/common files/BE....BEService.exe, BEService_arma2oa.exe, BEService arma3.exe. on sec drive steamapps/common/arma2/ first folder is 'battle eye" which has files BEClient.dll, BEServer.dll, UninstallBE.csv, UninstallBE.exe, UNinstallBE.log. Sec folder has files checkFileList.Ist, setup_BattlEyeArma2.exe Arma 2 Operation arrowhead/ battle eye folder with BEClient.dll, BEServer.dll. then in expansion folder where all my mods are installed there is a battle eye folder with files, BEClient.dll, BELauncher.ini, BEServer.dll, beserver.so, BEService.exe, BEService_x64.exe, Eula.txt, Install_BattlEye.bat, Uninstall_BattlEye.bat. if I click on those a black cmd? screen pops up for split sec an disappears an does nothing after that. what do I need to do delete/install all BE folders/files manually? why all of a sudden does it not work an before I could launch play mods just fine? much appreciate any help. PS, sent a ticket to BE. Update: deleted all battle eye files an folders verified game cache through steam it got everything except OA of course. OA still doesn't work this time I noticed it didn't install BEServer.dll only BEClient.dll in users/name/appdata/local/Arma2 OA on my main c drive. so I copied BEServer.dll to there. If I click on file ArmA2OA_BE.exe it says same thing so somethings missing somewhere? OA the game itself in steam will not launch with battle eye. Many thanks to TheGamingchief! here is the link to his youtube video with the fix. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNcEunpAipvdCsBNffRc36A for me it made a BE installation popup an I simply went through setup took 3 secs or so. he just published the video yest. or few hrs ago. or if link does not work "TheGamingChief" on youtube. title says "How to fix ArmA 2 BattlEye failed to read initialization file [2018]" <spelled exact like that. just hate BE dictating whether I can play or not, those ppl cant make anything work right an break what does work an most gamers are smarter an fix their broken trash. he said BE just broke "again" so I'm not only one who had this issue. wonder if BE ever heard of this> KISS <"keep it simple stupid"

Thank you for this, and the link. am playing on day z mod servers now.

Not finding any on youtube or a manual anywhere, Just bought Arma2 an OA mainly to play day z and want to make sure I do everything correct. the last version turtorials shows verify arma2 an OA it isn't there on this version, verifying them is no longer needed? I finally discovered OA path is the "Mods/Download Path" where does one set mod path at in OA? have no addon folder in main section of OA. I have addon folders in something listed ACR BAF PMC do I set mod path into one of them? Do I make a new folder for mods in main section of OA? steam is on my E drive. Below is some issues I have which may affect solutions/answers to the above. Ive already launched arma2 and OA. OA has some issues at launch UAC pops up everytime and culprit is steam client valve. If click play on OA, it gives a popup list of launch options. launch OA, launch OA without BE, install zcech republic which you have to click to launch that game/dlc even though ive already installed it. it asks if I want to uninstall click no, then a yellow colored UAC pops up. allow this to make changes to your device? "datacachepreprocessor". OA has 1 file missing when verifying game files. tried a host of fixes with no luck. very much hope this will not affect my day z launch an gameplay! Arma2 has no issues after I verified it and steam reacquired the 1 file which was BE, the UAC popup went away an it now launches normal. OA has BE folder and there is one in my main c drive called BEarma2oa no idea how it ended up there all my games through steam is set to download in my E drive. steam also has 2 files in main drive C, OS windows 10 pro. oops do not have OA beta installed is it mandatory to install it for a correct working game?? have not installed steam version of day z mod either. I put both in hidden games section in steam.
