Battle Eye [INFO] Blocked loading of file
I don't know if this is the right place to ask this. I'm getting an error message when trying to go to any server that requires BATTLE EYE. I've tried unistalling, deleted BEService folder from common files, I've also unistalled Ark and reinstalled and keep getting the same message:

06:45:51: Starting BattlEye Service...

06:45:53: Launching game...
06:46:02: Note: File blocks can be ignored if they don't cause problems with the game.
06:46:02: [INFO] Blocked loading of file: "/??/C:/Users/Tony/AppData/Local/Temp/bk3635.tmp/p1485239668am.sys".

any advice would be nice!

its hard to say for sure without being on the machine, but it sound like you might have a virus / malware that injects itself into application and battleeye detects it as a cheating tool (they do share a lot of techniques)

No that's not the issue. Battleye couldn't read a system file because it got blocked from doing it. This happens If you don't start ark as administrator which usually solves the problem as you can see in hundreds of other threads with the same issue.

Why do you assume a file associated with your own system is a virus?
A few things to try:


#1 - Make sure you are logged in as Administrator.


#2 - Uninstall BattlEye, restart Steam, and then allow it to reinstall when you start Ark.


#3 - Go to the directory with that file.

View Properties of that file.

Click "UNBLOCK".

#4 - Make sure you are playing on an Activated version of Windows.

because battleeye checks on all binaries that inject themself in ark process, combined with a .sys file, thats read locked inside a local user temp folder, smells like binary that should not be here and as such, unless the users installed it on purpose (in which case hed know about it) it has to be malware related.
