Battleye Initialization Failed

[Jadenn]

Good day. I'm trying to setup a private epoch server, however i've run into an issue with Battleye. There are very few posts on the internet about this exact error (Battleye Initialization Failed), but I have tried everything I could find.

 

Specs

----

Windows Server 2008 R2

 

Steps to reproduce

----

Installed Arma 2, Operation Arrowhead, and OA Beta via Steam

Manually Installed the mod into the OA folder

Copied the mod server files to a dedicated folder, along with Arma 2 and OA

I removed the ReadMes and other clutter like directx

Copied and edited the Chernarus configs, and bat file to the root of the folder

Ran the Chernarus bat.

 

Suggestions tried

----

Installing Battleye from the folder

Running the server using an administrative account

Removing the OA folder from AppData

Copying in a different order i.e. Arma 2 and then OA or OA and then Arma 2

 

The wiki information on setting up a server put it in an even worse state than 3rd party videos I had to watch. The server log was equally unhelpful (it would be nice to know WHY it couldn't be initialized).

 

Thanks in advance.

Just a quick update:

 

I decided to disable Battleye during testing and installation, everything is working great so far, the server runs, and scripts function. I've installed vcredist x86 2010 now due to a missing dll error when starting the server (the documentation listed it as needing vc 2013).

 

Still no change with battleye, and I am no closer to a solution. A magic hidden battleye log would be a godsend at this point.

You need the be dlls in a battleye folder in the expansion/beta folder. Even if you path switch with parameters. I may have missed something in your post but I'm on my phone

We do not use the beta expansion, it's started with the regular OA server.
