BSOD vs Windows 10 and Windows 11
we became aware of this problem
is seems to be related to old version of BattlEye used by A2OA
(so running game w/o BE doesn't cause it)

we will try address this next week (approximate, no promise on specific date)

A2OA 1.64 BE update for W10/11 is live

If you have Arma2, I found copying the two BE*.dll files in 'steamapps\common\Arma 2\BattlEye' over the top of the ones in 'steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\BattlEye' worked for me on WIndows11 - to stop the 'Invalid worker' GSOD.

mes that's really weird solution as Arma 2's BattlEye
is totally outdated / obsolete (unsupported) as Arma 2 went EOL
Mes Oct 18, 2021 @ 2:01am 
/shrug - it worked for me.

*edit - Should add I am using Arma2 for Dayz Mod with DayZLauncher. I don't know if that makes a difference for people playing regular Arma2OA. No issues so far though with BattlEye enabled servers or being kicked...

i've uploaded needed new files temporarily to dropbox
that's until we add those into data update on STEAM

new BattlEye client files (7-zip archive)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gq3mx08lk2p8bfa/A2OA_BE_client_164_20211022.7z?dl=0

new BattlEye server files (7-zip archive)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/kabeh262rvzpciw/A2OA_BE_server_164_20211022.7z?dl=0

just overwrite those old ones in your game folder

files were tested on VirusTotal (you can retest yourself)

At this point should we use these if we are NOT experiencing any problems? or should everybody use these regardless?

Thx a lot!

note: fixed BattlEye files are now part of A2OA beta branch,
both client and server,
so just switch within properties of game within STEAM client
