Fixing BattlEye Anti-Cheat Problems:
1. Ensure your security software is not blocking the BattlEye service – You will find a BattlEye folder within your game install location and “C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\BattlEye\” and in those locations you need to make sure the .exes within the folders are not being blocked. We will be showing you how you can do this with Windows Defender:
- Open the start menu and Search “Windows Defender Firewall” and open it
- Now click “Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall“
- Check the list to see if BEService exists > If it does not click Change Settings Then “Allow another app…” button and add all the BattlEye services to Windows Defender Firewall
2. Ensure the BattlEye service is set to “Manual”:
- Open Start menu and search “Services” > Now find “BattlEye Service“
- Right-click > Properties > Then make sure “Startup type” is set to Manual > If it’s not click the dropdown and select Manual then click “OK” button
3. Change the BattlEye services in your game folder to run as an administrator:
- Right-click the BEService.exe > Click Properties > Now select the “Compatability” tab > Tick “Run this program as an administrator“
4. Delete the BattlEye folder:
- Open File Explorer > Go to the following directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files
- Right-click BattlEye folder > Delete
5. Uninstall BattlEye – You can do this using the uninstall within the BattlEye folder in your game folder
6. Verify your games files – If one of your game files has become corrupted then this will cause BattlEye to not work correctly and detect problems
