Failed to install BattlEye - Solutions?

[OxtailNightmare]

Hey,

I was logged into the Server1 on DayZ when the screen went black and 'Waiting for host' popped up and then crashed the game...

when I tried to get back on it I am getting a cmd prompt with the BattlEye install failing...

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I've tried...

1. Removing and installing battleye manually

2. Verified the cache with steam

3. Uninstalled DayZ and Reinstalled

4. Run as administrator

I had the same thing happen to me not to long ago. I tried everything but nothing worked and then one day it just decided to work again, so it may be a waiting game.

How recent is this issue?

Also;

- Has it been occurring since 0.58?

- Have you only recently purchased the game and had the issue since you began playing?

Hey,

- This issue started at around 10am today (GMT) 

- It is happening on the recent update

- I purchased the game I believe over a year ago, definitely isn't a recent purchase.

Thanks for the speedy reply.

I'll have to see what happens I guess then, also gonna reinstall steam while I'm at it.

Thanks

Okay, could you possibly provide a screenshot of the command prompt which pops up?

I would've, but now the cmd prompt closes instantly and the reinstall of DayZ is coming up with a disk read error.

it may be a problem with my HDD, scanning it for errors now, I'll keep you posted

Thanks again.

UPDATE -

No errors on the HDD, gonna give it a restart and pray for salvation.

Be right back.

It seems like the restart has done the trick, installed BattlEye successfully and back to working order.

Thanks for responding so quickly!

In case it happens to anyone else:

1. Reinstall steam

2. Delete BattlEye files from DayZ folder

3. Reinstall DayZ

4. Restart

Usually its steam and your firewall.

Best thing to try is verify the game then turn off your firewall for the download then leave it to run until it opens the game.

Obviously when working turn firewall back on

Awesome, I'll make sure to do that if it happens again to avoid all the fuss, lol.

Thanks.
