Help installing BattlEye service on Windows Server 2012 R2

[slk.grumpy]

Hey all,

I just got a VDS up and running with Windows Server 2012 R2 and installed Arma II and OA and also have my Dayz Epoch server running and connectable.

What seems to not run is the BE service. Whenever I try to run the BE service installer (downloaded directly from BE and tried through the A2OA files) the installer window flashes and does nothing (nothing in the task manager).

Has anyone had this issue before or know what the problem is?

Thanks,

The BattlEye service you installed is intended for the use with an Arma client, not a server and it comes from using the Steam client when installing Arma 2.

In your case using Arma 2 DayZ Epoch, you can use the BattlEye folder in your active instance folder, which should be working. Create and place a BEServer.cfg file in this folder with the following minium info in it:

Code: Select all

RConPassword YOUR_PASSWORD
Maxping YOUR_MAXPING_NUMBER_IN_MS

In your server config file you also have to enable BattlEye by putting

Code: Select all

BattlEye = 1;

in it.

You can also define an active BattlEye folder anywhere you want with the start-up parameter

Code: Select all

-BEpath=<path>
