Disable BattlEye on My Server?
So I started up a Scorched Earth server since I just bought the xpac the other day, and I've made sure one of the launch options is set correctly to disable it (I double-checked against my regular server files to make sure I did it right), but when I startup the server, BattlEye is still active. It's not a huge deal, just kind of one of those things that's frustrating because it isn't working properly.

I added -NoBattlEye to my launch options, but when I start the server, it states "Server Initializing with BattlEye Anti-Cheat Protection. If you do not wish to use BattlEye, please launch with -NoBattlEye" still, and pops up on the server list with BattlEye active.

Any help would be appreciated!

Not an expert on servers, but shouldn't the command also be on the server?

That's what I meant, sorry! I have the command to disable BattlEye as one of the server launch commands.

Made sure there's no space anywhere?

v253.0
- BattlEye is now enabled by default for dedicated servers, use -NoBattlEye to run your server without it

Your startup batch should look similar to this:

ShooterGameServer.exe ScorchedEarth_P?listen?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015? -NoBattlEye -useallavailablecores -usecache -nomemorybias -exclusivejoin -nosteamclient -game -server -log

then there is no BattlEye.

My batch looks like this :

start ShooterGameServer "TheIsland?listen?SessionName=Server?ServerPassword=join?ServerAdminPassword=admin?-NoBattlEye"
-NoBattlEye
exit

and battleye is still starting up. How should I modify it to make sure battly eye doesn't start up?

okay remove the second -NoBattlEye in the line above exit
excange the ? after ServerAdminPassword=admin for a space so it looks like:

start ShooterGameServer.exe TheIsland?listen?SessionName=Server?ServerPassword=join?ServerAdminPassword=admin -NoBattlEye
exit

edit:
ofc you should have ?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015 in there too, portnumbers just as standard examples can be changed to your likings

and i would suggest -game -server so the server don't loads all the client files too.

so in the end:

start ShooterGameServer.exe TheIsland?listen?SessionName=Server?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?ServerPassword=join?ServerAdminPassword=admin -game -server -NoBattlEye
exit

Sorry but it did not work for me. I wan't to play on my own ark server, but cannot. My bat file here:
start ARKServerLauncher.exe TheIsland?listen?LostCitiesOfTheAncients=Server?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?ServerPassword=********?ServerAdminPassword=******** -game -server -NoBattlEye
exit

Battleye is still loading up on my server.

Same.

Anyone have an update on this? I seem to be able to run a batch file with the -NoBattlEye tag. It appears that it executes successfully but the session doesn't show up for the other machines on my network. Currently on version 264.1, any suggestions?
