BattlEye Installers (A2:OA, A2: RFT, A2)

[upredictable]

Same here.

I can't run as an administrator. I'm XP32 and get an error when trying to run as an administrator. I only have one account which automatically logs me into windows with admin privileges.

Ok made a PW for administrator via safe mode. I can now start steam using 'run as' then admin with PW.

But now running OA I get a direct input error box for OA 2 stating that directx 8 required! (yes dx 8) The app closes on that error.

sigh...

I close steam, run it normally and game starts no problems but still can not connect to a server.

G_Rider you really not needed do all that but thanks for trying ...
the BE author is looking into the cause

it's most likely not problem with the installers

which brings me on the question, do you have the files present in the locations mentioned in first post ?

Yes I do. All three locations for XP32. I have the separate installs from Steam, ARMA 2, AO, BAF. I posted earlier in this thread that I did notice that the appdata BE dll wasn't updated via steam or your exe in this thread. I copied the updated dll from my OA\expansion\be folder to the appdata location but still didn't work.

Why am I getting an error running OA via steam in admin mode now?

that's correct the installer updating the dll located in the game's dir

then when game is running and you join BE server the dll is updated in appData

anyway if you on wXP and the admin mode is not working for you then don't use it and use normal way how you run games

Guess that means the game isn't loading the dll since I had to manually copy it to the appdata location after I've run the game many times trying to join servers.

done everything above listed - still getting kicked for battleye initialisation error.

- deleted all the folders containing anything relating to the Bty, then manually downloaded and placed the dlls
- tried formally uninstalling via programs menu (and also via the uninstall file) and then installing
- tried installing it via steam and via the installer within the folders.

...and all combinations of the above and everything else.

PS: have steam version and windows 7. Problem only started happening after the latest patch got installed.

Is there anyone without Steam who has this problem?
