[[How To] Set up an Arma 3 Epoch Server on a Client PC]

When I try to start BEC I keep getting the error : BE Bans file does not exist, create a new Bans.tx in your BePath or Recheck settings. Ive done everything in the guide now twice and get the same result. Any ideas? Thanks

 

Hey dude,

 

I had the same error until I added Bans.txt [don't add BE Bans.txt - it doesn't work] to my <DriveLetter>:\<A3Epochservername here>\SC\BattlEye\ folder. Makes sure you set 'show extensions for known file types' in your windows explorer folder options. Once it was in there, I commented out the:

 

# BeCustomBanFiles = Bans1.txt, file2.txt, file3.txt

 

line in the config.cfg in the <DriveLetter>:\<A3Epochservername here>\Config\ folder.

 

Then that worked a treat.

 

* Tip, set the timeout to 45 seconds or add --dsc to a .bat file

 

ie

start bec.exe --dsc

so that bec doesn't timeout waiting for your Arma3.bat file to finish starting everything [ie the file to run the server]. It makes it wait regardless of timeout.

 

Otherwise it takes too long and Bec doesn't want a bar of it. I've merged my start bec, then start arma3 epoch server bat file. So there is less changing folders and running different things.

 

@ Ghostrider: Cheers for that info dude. Though i wonder how people are making servers with this bug floating around *confused*. Will keep headbutting it though. Just 'coz I'm persistent... errr hard-headed.

 

Catchyas,

check the log files on your BE, it will tell you exactly why it is kicking you

 

all it says is the same thing dude:

 

Player #0 xxxx (xxxxx) has been kicked by BattlEye: PublicVariable Restriction #0

18:51:38 : Unexpected error :: Something strange happen when trying to connect to BeServer

19:56:09 : Unexpected error :: Something strange happen when trying to connect to BeServer

  bec seems to force close its self .... but the server is showing on lan my game just freezes when it gets to the part where it should download the mission file any idea what i could check to correct this or should i try another reinstall?

 

Hey dude, try Step 7. Open the SC/Battleye folder and rename example-BEServer.cfg to BEServer.cfg and change the RConPassword.

 

from this site: 

 

Ghostrider, you might want to add that bit buddy. Only just discovered it myself after a solid few hours tearing my hair out.

 

Not I'm getting kicked by publicvariable restriction #0 but I think that's because it doesn't give me an option to enter a password!! 

 

Cheers,
