Hmm.. I hate when programs are not coded to write errors into the event viewer logs. :| I'm running out of ideas, but I have two: First one, I see you're launching arma3battleye.exe from a command prompt (or a batch file maybe?) Have you tried first opening a command prompt by using "Run as administrator" ? Or if you're using a batch file, right-click and run as administrator? You might have tried that already but I figured it's worth asking. The other thing I would try (and this is probably way out on a limb) but try turning off "DEP" or data execution prevention on arma3battleye.exe ? If you don't know how, there's plenty of walkthroughs on google.. I hope it helps! ---------- Post added at 23:01 ---------- Previous post was at 22:30 ---------- maybe one more idea? (a dangerous one but possibly worth checking): (this is not the dangerous part) First, do a verify cache on arma 3 in steam (right click on arma 3 in steam, go to properties, then go to the local files tab and hit verify integrity of game cache) (this is the dangerous part) Since you're running arma on your F: drive and not your C: drive, check to make sure your paths are correct in the registry. A quick search showed me that there are Arma 3 paths in the registry. Maybe the last update messed up your paths or something? Check the keys under this one (this is on my 64 bit system) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\bohemia interactive\arma 3 (there's a DWORD value in there that has the arma 3 path in it, make sure it's right) Also, search for this string and make sure they're right (it appears in more than one place) : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe" "%1" Back up your registry first, and don't mess with this stuff if there's a chance you might break it! Remember the changes you made in case you have to revert back. :) Do you have steam installed on your F: drive too? It's just a suggestion, but like I said be really careful. If you break something, I can't be held liable!

Pro, Try this, for clues to why the battleeye exe is not starting properly, maybe us in the community can figure this out: Winkey + R (brings up "Run" box) Type in: compmgmt.msc (hit enter) On the left hand panel, expand the following: Event Viewer, then Windows Logs. Single-click on the "Application" section, and scroll through there slowly, looking for anything named Arma3Battleye.exe If you find something, paste it here. Just highlight the text, hit CTRL + C, then paste it in a reply on this thread with CTRL + V. I know this isn't the optimal solution, but while we wait for an official fix, it doesn't hurt to work together to come up with a workaround.

I was able to get Arma 3 to launch using ArmaSync (no Battleye prompt for restart) without issues with Battleye with the following settings: I hope this helps someone.

I've been doing some google-fu and it seems it's not just Arma that has this issue, it appears to affect (sorry if this has been mentioned already, this is a long thread) many flight simulators including FSX. The common denominator seems to be windows 8..

I just built a brand new PC with windows 8.1 64 bit, and I'm having the same exact issue. I had no problems with windows 7 64 bit on my previous PC. Any update on this? Has the dev team noticed this thread? Thanks
