BEC / Dart / BattlEye / Bat File Help

[Architect]

Hi

I know this is mentioned on a regular basis but I'm currently having an issue with my BEC, BattlEye and bat files.

I've filled out all the parameters, opened a specific port, filled in the necessary file paths for this to work.

Is BEC defunct? Is Dart defunct? is my batch file correct?

(I had this working last year when I ran a server... maybe I've forgotten, or somethings changed since then)

See below:

Server is running on x64

BEC Config (BEServer_x64.cfg)

RConPassword xxxx
RestrictRCon 0
RConport 2304

BattlEye Config (Config.cfg)

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Bec]
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Set the ip to your server. normally 127.0.0.1 will be fine.
# Note: If you are running BEC on the same machine as your server you should keep this as 127.0.0.1! Otherwise you wll likely have issues.
Ip = 127.0.0.1


# Set the RCon port to the server.
# The recommended port is game port + 3 (so 2305 by default).
# You must have a RCon port specified in BEServer_x64.cfg. Example: "RConPort 2305"
Port = 2304


# Set the path to the BattlEye directory that is currently in use by the server.
BePath = C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DayZServer\config\BattlEye


# Set the path to your Admins.xml file containing your admins.
Admins = Admins.xml


# Set the path to your Commands.xml file.
Commands = Commands.xml

It's probably just the formatting in the bat file. Check around online for a simpler bat file, just to get it going, then go from there.

this is one i was using. it ran BEC and my scheduler, ban list, name list, etc just fine.

It's nice to see people post a lot of detailed information when asking for help, for a change. It would be helpful too though, if you said what the Problem is ..

Is the server not starting at all? or does the server start, you just can't see it on the network? or can you see it and join, you just don't have Battleye Admin tools?

The only glaring thing I see is that you have old server files, downloaded using SteamCMD, rather than downloading the DayZ Server App from the Steam Library, which gets updated along with the Game Client (current version 1.23)

The server runs absolutely fine, players can join etc. It's just the BEC not detecting if the server is on or not. It just boot loops with the comment:

16:23:01 : Please wait... Connecting to the Server when the Timeout has expired!
16:23:35 : Connecting to Battleye server 127.0.0.1:2304
16:23:37 : No Valid response. Trying to reconnect.!

[_KC76_]

Is it possibly a Firewall issue with Battleye not having a direct "in/out rule" to the Server?
What OS is your Server running? (forced auto-updates that may have altered settings?)

[Architect]

Could possibly be that. What firewall parameters do I need to input for BattlEye?
OS Windows Server 2019 (x64)

I am not familiar with Server 2019 directly, but I would guess you need to create the same rules for Battleye as you did for the DayZ Server, opening Port X inbound rule and converse Outbound Rule. I think generally speaking, your in.out rules should be set up to use a "range" of Ports, like "2300 to 2307", rather than just the one "2304" Port.

definitely sounds like a port/firewall issue.

Please, excuse my ignorance of this, as I only run Local Servers using Admin Tool Mods, not Battleye Admin tools .. But, is that the correct address for Battleye? Should Battleye be connecting to the Battleye website also, or only to your server? (Is battleye self-contained, or does it need to access the web-database to function?)

[Architect]

Yeah, I opened all those but to no avail. I'll just have to revert back to my old bat file without Bec

Edit: disregard, misread the Host file.

Has the battleye changed it's address from a year ago? Please bare in mind I've been using old tutorials online to get this server up and running again.
