Since BattlEye Server version 1.102 you now have an option to remotely control your server with an external rcon program. The setup for this is extremely easy and only takes a few minutes.

1. Check your server.cfg and make sure BattlEye is enabled by searching for this line "BattlEye=1;"
To do this, connect to your servers FTP and double click on the "cfg" folder, then copy the "server.cfg" file to your desktop and edit as needed.

2. Create a new file on your desktop and name it "BEserver.cfg"
3. Place the following inside your newly created "BEserver.cfg":

Code: Select all

RConPassword mypassword
maxping 350
For Arma 3, you will also need to add the following two lines, filling in your server IP address in place of "Your_Server_IP". You can lookup your server's IP via the description tab of your game server control panel.

Code: Select all

RconPort 2301
RconIP Your_Server_IP
4. Upload your BEserver.cfg to the "BattlEye" folder in your FTP located in the "cfg">"BattlEye"
5. Download the BE external rcon program and open it up http://www.battleye.com/downloads/BERCon.exe
6. Follow the instructions on how to connect.


**If BattlEye was not already enabled you will need to do enable it then reboot the server so it can create a BattlEye installation in the cfg directory, which allows rcon to work.
