How to fix "BattlEye Initialization Failed"

[Sharpboy21 22]

The Solution ! (Worked For Me)

Navigate too: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead

and: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2

(Or If you have a hard-copy just find your root ArmA 2 directory)

In these folders will be another folder named "BattlEye" Go into the folder and delete "BEClient.dll" In the folder.

(Make sure you do it for both ArmA 2 and ArmA 2: OA)

(If you have a hard copy it may only appear in the ArmA 2 Folder)

Join a server and before spawning let it say:

"BattlEye Update initializing" or some such

And then "Update Complete - Restarting"

And then Bob's Your uncle should be fixed :)

For me, switching servers ususally helped.

When I played private hives, often my update timed out. so I joined the fastest public hive server I could find, it updated and I rejoined the server I was playing on before.

I always assumed it had something to do with the connection to the battle-eye server that somehow didn't take the redirects from private servers as well. But i will try your version If it happens again.
