BattlEye "Failed to update" kick

[tviktor]

This problem is caused by there being something wrong with your file permissions.

HOW TO SOLVE:

Make sure you are showing hidden files & folders (Control Panel > Folder options) as the Appdata folder will be Hidden by default.

First of all exit the DayZ client and Steam.

• STEP ONE: Delete Battleye Folder in Appdata
  
  Find the Battleye folder located in
  "C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\DayZ".
  Delete this Battleye folder and all it's content entirely.
  
  (To locate directory navigate through explorer or
  Press the WINDOWS KEY + E to open explorer > In the adress field write %localappdata%)
  
  
  
• STEP TWO: Download BEClient.dll
  
  Go to Battleye[www.battleye.com] and download the 32-bit BEClient.dll for DayZ.
  (Save it somewhere easily located, it will be used soon.)
  
  
  
• STEP THREE: Replace old BEClient with the new one
  
  Move or copy/paste the downloaded BEClient.dll to a folder named Battleye in the DayZ install directory (replace the already existing BEClient.dll).
  
  The DayZ install directory is by default located at:
  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\DayZ"
  (this is NOT the same appdata DayZ/Battleye folder as the one we visited earlier)
  
  (To locate directory navigate through explorer or
  Right click DayZ in Steam > Properties > Local Files > Browse Local Files)
  
  
• STEP FOUR: Restart your computer
  
  
• STEP FIVE: Update Battleye
  
  IMPORTANT: Start Steam as administrator
  (right click Steam and choose Run as Administrator)
  
  Start DayZ and join a server, BattlEye should update correctly.

I've tried to do this 4 times and I follow the instructions to the T, yet I still get booted after about 30 seconds. First time ever I am borderline rage quitting. I haven't been able to play since Thursday.

[rotatepls]

i recommend you read this part again
Find the Battleye folder located in
"C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\DayZ".
Delete this Battleye folder and all it's content.
I know alot of people had this problem

[Tolomea]

Thanks, I've deleted the whole folder and downloaded it again and it worked. Thanks again.

What I did that worked for me was I just restarted my PC and it automatically updated along with Steam.

[DeepPocketz]

the file that you suggest downloading is for 32-bit windows OS. Will this file help for users with 64-bit Windows OS?

Yes, I did the game cache verify thing, it still preents the problem of BE not updating correctly.

[|KPF|Axemeister]

yep... what a concept... an alpha that doesnt work. BE fails... did all of the above just like it says... ♥♥♥ fail. they fixed this running similulator part by not even letting us get on. if its our files that are messed up, how come it initially updates when we get on then fails and then kicks us? i think its your files!!!!! ..|..

[Shaun0]

yep, did all the steps and replaced the old .dll file with the new one and it still kicks me off:/ what do i do now then? aha

[100magicalcowboys]

[Shaun0]
