Battleye Initialization Failed

Recommended Posts

Hi, I recently bought DayZ literally like 2 days ago off Steam. Game downloaded fine and everything was really looking forward to playing it, go to choose a server of choice (Preferably I wanted a populated one) and I am stopped by a single message every single f***in time.

 

I've scoured the internet for a solution to this, replaced the BE.client.dll files in the steam directory where DayZ is. I also tried unistalling DayZ after that made no difference, and once reinstalled verifyed the game cache and logged back on to try again. SAME message....

 

So not giving up there I decided to try downloading the BE.Server.dll file also and pasted it into both the steam directory, and my local AppData where the DayZ folder also resides. (Yes I am pasting these files in the BattlEye folder)

 

This is my last port of call before I ask for a refund off steam as the game is unplayable. I read BattlEye's website in the support section and very little support I found.

 

I do not have any anti-virus software enabled when running the game, so the last thing I can think of is that BattlEye is trying to get permission to run, and my computer won't let it.

 

Dafuq.

Also try to leave a copy of those 2 files on the desktop and in the game folder (not the BE one).

I know it has no damn sense, but when I had similar problems with some servers on the mod, that worked for me...trying is free.

I'll think about this over night but atm I don't have a clue of what is causing your problem :(

Let's hope somebody has an idea!

Hi, I managed to fix the problem after awhile after enabling/disablsing the User Account control settings in windows 7, and changing the priority of those settings on a brand new administrator profile on my machine. It seems that BattlEye has a real tendency to demand all privileges on your OS. So it can scan your system for any underlying hack/programs you might have running.

 

After fixing this issue, I realised perhaps my own PC isn't as secure as I thought and I had to delete my original admin profile as it had become corrupt, and wouldn't allow me to delete, paste, certain files in the AppData folder..

 

However I know people are having  similar problem to me, but very hard to say whether it's the same issue as me, but that's how I fixed it for anyone else who reads this.

 

Creating a new user admin profile on PC, go to control panel > User Accounts > Change user account control settings, mine was set to blocking pretty much anything that it didn't like routing through my PC. So I changed it to allowing programs through everything (The top one) and enabled suitable anti-virus software, After that I connected to BattlEye's network fine and played on multiple servers.
