BattleEye RCON new settings tutorial

[terox 316]

Instructions on how to:

 

In your BattleEye\BEServer.cfg file add the following

 

NB>> try initially by not assigning an IP, this can cause problems

RConport ****
RConIP **.**.**.**

Example

RConport 2301
RConIP 77.72.53.21

 

The RConPort should not be any of the game ports the ArmA3 server uses

 

So either use

GamePort + 4

or

Gameport -1

if you want to keep them all together in your firewall rules

 

Remember to open these UDP ports in your firewalls.

 

You then need to edit your RCON tool and reset the port from the game port to the newly defined RConport

 

The RconIP typically shouldn't be required, unless your BE is hosted seperately.

However if you are having issues try then defining it, initially try without it

I personally use a -profile switch to define my server install location and do not need to define the IP

 

 

 

 

Hope that helps a few of you.

I edited the previous post. I run multiple servers from the same IP on a Linux box and found that if I defined the IP, I was unable to connect via RCON to any of the servers

RconPort must avoid reserved ARMA3server port range

default reserved ports (+0,+1,+2,+3) are 2302 - 2305

to clarify the reserved ports can't be used for BattlEye's RCON

you also shall not need to add the RconIP entry

as undefined equals to 0.0.0.0 (all IPv4 local IP addresses)

setting it to e.g. 127.0.0.1 will prevent it to respond on external IP

setting it to e.g. external IP will prevent it to respond on localhost 127.0.0.1

How to make maxping work?

[Dwarden 1124]

maxPing is disabled, the message clearly says it, until further notice

maxPing is disabled, the message clearly says it, until further notice

That's understandable. But how to enable?
