Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
I am getting kicked for the following violation(s). I don't use hacks, so what can I do to resolve this?
- Client not responding: This can happen if the server's or your connection times out for quite a while or breaks up completely. There is no real solution other than ensuring that you have no problems with your internet connection.
- Failed to update: For some reason your BattlEye Client is not able to download new updates from the BE Master Server - most likely related to your internet connection. Please download the most recent version for your game from the download page and manually update your BE Client.
- Missing OS Privileges: In order for the BE Client to be able to detect all hacks running on a system, it has to run with administrative privileges. To do so on Windows 2000/XP, you either have to log in with an administrator account and run the game as usual or, when using a limited user account, right-click your game executable/shortcut, select "Run as..." and enter the credentials of an administrator-level account. On Windows Vista/7, right-click your game executable/shortcut and select "Run as administrator". If you are logged in with a limited user account, you then have to enter the password of an administrator account. To permanently run the game as administrator, right-click the executable/shortcut and choose Properties. Then go to the Compatibility tab, check the "Run this program as an administrator" option and click OK to apply your changes.
- Corrupted Memory #X: BattlEye detects that your game's memory is not what it is supposed to be. Scan your system for viruses/trojans/spyware and check your RAM for possible defects (using tools like Memtest86). If that doesn't help, the game's installation on your harddisk is possibly corrupted - therefore, try to reinstall the game.
- Direct3D Hook #X: Disable overlay programs or the overlay feature of these programs while playing on BE-enabled servers. Popular examples are Xfire (you can leave it running by disabling the ingame-overlay feature for your game in the options), Fraps, TeamSpeak Overlay (TSO) and ATI Tray Tools.
How do I enable BattlEye in-game to be able to play on BE-enabled servers?
At the moment, you don't have to enable it explicitly in any games. If you decided to install BE and join a BE-enabled server, it will be loaded automatically.
Are administrator rights required when playing with BattlEye enabled?
Not yet, but probably very soon.
I am using a 64-bit operating system but can't seem to find the right files in the download section. Is 64-bit unsupported?
No. All platforms the game is running on are supported. Please note that even though you might be using a 64-bit OS, the game may still be running in 32-bit mode because it was compiled as a 32-bit application.
I am running multiple dedicated servers from one installation. Is there anything I have to keep in mind regarding BattlEye?
Yes, you have to specify separate BE folders on the command line for the auto-update to work properly. However, this is currently only supported in ArmA.
For example, if you run 2 servers, you have to specify "-BEpath=[path]" (without the quotes and brackets) on the command line of at least one of the servers.
This path can be relative to the current BE home folder (in the game's appdata) or absolute. The game server will then automatically create the new BE folder and copy the required files there.
