[Fix] Battleye not updating, kicked as a result

[Problem? 33]

Make sure you are running steam as admin.

Manually install from the website and follow the simple instructions. Was having same problem and this worked. Had the same problem with yesterdays update from 1.166 to 1.167 and this process worked perfectly. Worked for 1.168 as well.

http://www.battleye.com/download.html

ArmA 2 / ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead

v1.62

(Put these files into a folder called "BattlEye" in the "Expansion" folder of your game install directory)

• BE Client for Windows (32-bit) - MD5: 765bcdfca5738b2aeb151ee6a6bd3559
  
• BE Server for Windows (32-bit) - MD5: 9b0eee423ad7f936bed6f35efac52fba
  

You need to download and replace both Client and Server files!

Put them in these folders:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\Expansion\BattlEye

C:\Users\<profile>\AppData\Local\ArmA 2 OA\BattlEye

Note: Are you guys running Steam as admin? If not that could be the problem with it reverting back each time you exit game. Also if you verify your game cache after replacing the files, it might keep reverting as well.

I try it again, and this time the server auto-update worked normally.

Thx :)

[kazzak 10]

Thanks, works great :)

[machoo11089@gmail.com 0]

It didn't work. It fails updating in game still. I put both of them into both the arma2 BE directory and the OA BE directory. I could be playing on a server with a lower version, so it could just be the server's fault.

[metttt 6]

works for a while but version reverts after 15-20 minutes. fuck this engine and battleye

[metttt 6]

The problem seems to be that we need BattlEye 1.66 but on the downloadpage http://www.battleye.com/download.html the latest version to grab is v1.61.94945+

Can someone link us to 1.66? Or a working .dll for that matter?

Thanks

[metttt 6]

ok this is working for me, but it's annoying:

revert to beta 95389: http://www.gamefront...Build_95389.zip

switch your BEclient.dll (located in operation arrowhead\Expansion\BattleEye\) to this version: http://www.battleye....61/BEClient.dll

connect to server!

NOW HERE'S THE KICKER: you have to constantly re-apply the 108kb http://www.battleye....61/BEClient.dll file every time you join a server, as joining a server replaces the 108kb file with the outdated 100kb file

I think we should all email BE and tell them they suck goat balls. Doing it as I type this.

[PimpinSmurf 26]

Support@battleye.com encase anyone else wants to. I feel so much better after sending that email.

The newest is actually 1.166 not 1.66 which is what the download is. Also servers shouldn't be replacing Battleye files as it is directly updated from battleye servers. It checks with their server if a new version is out each time you connect(reach the multiplayer setup screen) and update it accordingly.

Worked for me thanks! Should probably put a note on the installation page that when DayZ has an update, make sure to check for new Arma II beta patch as well as Battle Eye patch.

I did not understand those instructions. Where can I access the main install directory of my game? And my Windows is 64-bit,does it have anything to do with it? Sorry for sounding like a newbie.

EDIT: Forget it. Already figured out,I'm about to test this now,will edit this as soon as I finish.

EDIT2: Worked like a charm,thanks man!

It depends if you are using steam or retail copy.

For steam :C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\Battleye

For Retail should be similar Bohemia Interactive\Arma 2 OA folder in Program Files (x86) directory. Then look for Expansion\Battleye.

If you're on steam (like me), install directory is accessed through 'My Computer -> (C:) -> 'Program Files' ('x86Program Files' for some) -> Steam -> steamapps -> common -> arma 2 operation arrowhead -> Expansion -> Battleye'. Paste the 2 DLL downloaded files here and overwrite the old ones.

If you're not using ARMA II on steam, find the install directory by the same process but exchange the steam-apps-common etc. with wherever it actually is. To be honest, I don't know if there's a 32 vs 64 bit difference with these files.

Ok Problem? you can have this one. I'll go back to playing =)

Thanks, worked. You have my beans. :)

By the way, do you know how to fix the 'No Entry.profilePathDefault' error?

[anheropl0x@gmail.com 0]

I've put these "updated files" in four times and it still says I have version 1.165.

Edit: Now it's saying I have 1.164. Awesome.

First i got the not updating error, but after i replaced it with the listed files i get the battle eye not responding errorr. Does anyone have a clue how to solve this?

[martin_hjerpe@hotmail.com 22]

This did not work for me so I put the files also in the battleeye folder directly under the arma 2 folder and that fixed it.

Which file was that you put them under and it worked? I copied and replaced the two files into the correct folder but with no success. It also seems to replace them again after trying to play as the downloaded file is 108kb, and the file it is replacing is 100.

I can't really find the folder you seem to be talking about in the arma 2 folder. I get to the point below:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\arma 2

and then hit a wall. The only folder I can see there is the BE setup folder.

Help Please
