BattlEye Issue With No BattlEye Start

[CireSnave]

I start the game up selecting "Play Ark: No BattlEye AntiCheat; Unofficial Server" Game loads up, gets to first menu after about 3sec game closes and battlEye Launcher asking me to install battlEye. Anyone know why this is?

if you are only going to play single player try launching the game from the folder rather than through steam

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGame.exe

Thanks for the idea but sadly it didn't work.

might i ask why you don't just install battleye? or have you already and this error persists?

I do have it, I'm trying to play unofficial server. If I play official server there is no issue. It's when I try to select "Play Ark: No BattlEye AntiCheat; Unofficial Server" that it won't let me play, saying I need it. Makes no sense to me.

Most unofficial servers still use battleye..

i can't even play single player or host non dedicated as soon as the game is about to load up after a 10 minute wait the install Bateye menu comes up saying to install it if i click cancel the game client crashes if i click install it says that it installed and the game client crashes if i click never tell me this again it still pops up anyway every time i try to play the game this happens i can't even play by myself even if i tell steam not to start up using Bateye the install prompt still pops up i'm getting sick of it any ideas on how to fix this i already check the games integrity uninstalled and reinstalled unsubed the mods and resubed i just don't know how to fix this problem.

check your antivirus or anti malware software. sometimes they can block programs such as battleye. temporarily disable them or set them to ignore battleye installer

my anti virus service ran out a couple days ago so right now anyway i don't even have one for it to interfere with

windows defender might be the culprit if you have that enabled.

i'm having the same issue , i had a fresh ARK install during Valentine event , worked like a charm until version went back to old GUI , then it asked me for battleye install and the infernal loop started.
i did every thing :
Check files
Desable my Antivirus when installing BE
rebooted my computer after uninstall BE then install it ... nothing happens.
Deleted BE files then Downloaded it from steam as new
launch by Gameshooter.exe or GameshooterBE.exe
i uninstalled any other BE in other games i had as well
Changed BElaunch.ini value to 0 then 1 then back to 2.... nothing changed
My drivers are up to date
LAUNCHING Game via steam WITH NO BE DOESNT WORK same crash.
i'm driving crazy actually , its abdnormal to paye for a game and getting unable to play it because of a tier soft.

any fix people?

Are you running the game and BE as an admin?

[Ink]
