Can't play multiplayer - battleeye failed to update/failed to initialize > kicked

[Niklas 1]

Everytime i join a server i get kicked after a few seconds. I downloaded BEclient.dll 1.205 but I still can not play. It keeps telling me that it innitialized 1.204 even though i should have deleted this version. Any help? I am on Win 8 and running steam as admin. Reinstall did not help either.

Arma 3 latest Battleye version is 1.207

http://battleye.com/downloads/arma3/BEClient.dll

Download and copy file into folder:

C:\Users\<yourWindowsUsername>\AppData\Local\Arma 3\BattlEye

If you cannot find your way to that folder, try giving this path in explorer:

%APPDATA%\..\local\arma 3\BattlEye

Or if you want to get easy..

I made an small script which will download always latest A3 Battleye and moves it to right folder (win7/8).

http://olutta.org/temp/OlutA3BEupdate.exe

zipped version if you have issues d/l .exe:

http://olutta.org/temp/OlutA3BEupdate.zip

Try to first run without admin, if its not working, you might need admin permission to update battleye file.

Make sure you have not arma3 running while updating. Update should take few seconds and max 2 minutes.

Antiy-AVL seems to give false flag as it downloads file from web.
