Harrier' 2 Posted June 28, 2018 so I'm getting an error after the last hot fix patch today, "windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. you may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item" if I click ok the launcher pops up again and shows me the game failed to boot and i can start the game with battle eye disabled. however, this is not acceptable for online play. so far I have tried deleting the battle eye files off the appdata folder i have run a battle eye uninstall.bat file in the arma folder, and i have done a number of steam file checks. I have also run the launcher, and the game directly in administrator, i have changed the file properties of the arma and battleye .exe to launch in administrator mode as well. Please, any help would be appreciated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

El Niko 1 Posted June 29, 2018 Please fix this. I believe people are saying its because of the SECREP #00020. @bis_iceman, I hope you can help us with this issue. I seen you submitted the SECREP on steam. If it helps I'm using Windows 10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bis_iceman 7384 Posted June 29, 2018 Hello, we are aware of the issue and have been in close contact with BattlEye to identify the cause. So far we're unable to reproduce it internally, but the investigation continues. Hopefully we'll have a solution soon. Sorry for any inconveniences. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Niko 1 Posted June 29, 2018 If it helps here is how I started getting the error; I first got this error when I tried to fix where you get kicked because of "Battleye: Not Responding" issue from the AWG server. What I did to try to fix it was clearing Arma 3's cache (using this .bat file; rmdir "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Arma 3" /s /q") and that didn't work. Then next, I uninstalled (from Arma folder in steam) and deleted battleye (both in common files and arma3) then verified through steam to get it back. Then that's where I started receiving that error message. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harrier' 2 Posted June 29, 2018 Thanks for the update bis_iceman I get that when you use an external company for the anticheat there can be issues from. Either side. I hope it gets resolved soon :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks so as your support ticket staff told me i tested the solution he sends me round about 4 times in every possible enviroment ( save mode, no other side progs, without antivirus) and this solution does not work. Hello, please try to completely disable/uninstall your antivirus and/or firewall and do the following: 1. Exit Steam. 2. Right-click on Steam icon. 3. Left-click on "Run As Administrator". 4. Right-click on the game in Steam Library. 5. Click on "Properties". 6. Select "Local files" tab and click on "Verify integrity of game cache files" button. 7. Please wait, the process can take several minutes. 8. If the issue persists, reboot your PC and try one more time from step 2. Best regards, Dominik Flandera Bohemia Interactive Maybe you be so kind and inform your Staff issue stands Thanks and have a nice Day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
