BattlEye blocks loading Steam files

[rmroman 2]

Anyone seen this? Any advice how to handle this?

 

BattlEye blocks loading Steam files - all from "Program Files (x64)":

• GameOverlayRenderer.dll
• x64launcher.exe
• GameOverlayRenderer64.dll
• steamclient64.dll
• tier0_s64.dll
• vstdlib_s64.dll
• steam.exe

Game is unable to launch and crashes at startup with an exit code 0x00000035

 

There's no AV SW installed, no mods, mo cheats. I played ARMA just 9 hours ago and it was able to start. There were no changes afterwards - I just turned off the rig yesterday and turned it on again this morning. BattlEye works just fine with non-Steam games and Steam works fine without BattlEye.

 

Overall the conflicts started about 7-10 days ago - then BattlEye blocked just x64launcher.exe yet the game was able to start. Now it blocks all of Steam and there's no way to play. Peculiarities of the rig I use: Win7 SP1, no SP-2 and SHA-2 installed - cannot do that as it conflicts with the motherboard.

Solved. For those who runs into the same trouble: it seems the reason was BattlEye was failing to update itself (for an unknown reason). What helped is:

1. Renaming BE executable in "Program Files (x86)/Common Files/BattlEye" to something weird to force BE to re-download itself (exe, not the service).
2. Running Steam as Administrator.
3. Launching ARMA from Steam library - pressing Play there - rather than a using a Steam-handled shortcut on Desktop.

Too lazy to test now yet I strongly suspect p. 1 shall suffice.
