Battleye doesn't install when launching Steam game, no error

Conan Exiles PC Discussion

Game mode: Online official
Type of issue: Misc
Server type:
Region:

I cannot install Battleye. I tried manually, I tried through the game installation, i doesnt work. A CMD pops up for a few seconds, then disappears, but nothing happens after that.

I have the game from steam, i played it a few months on single player, then I also tried PVP and then I noticed that I dont have Battleye, therefore I cannot play some servers.

I tried navigating to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Binaries\Win64\BattlEye and manually running Install_BattlEye.bat. I run it normal, and also opened it as Administrator. Unfortunately nothing happens. A CMD pops up for maximum 2 seconds, then it disappears and thats it, it doesnt install or do anything.

I also tried uninstalling the game, then restart PC, then installing the game again by Steam, and now when I want to launch the game I have a pop-up with 4 options:
-Play Conan
-Play Conan without Battleye
-Install battleye
-uninstall battleye
I chose “Install battleye” but the same story: A CMD pops up for maximum 2 seconds, then it disappears and thats it, it doesnt install or do anything.

Can you help me? thank you very much!

Hey @nicolaeda7

Welcome to our community.
It is possible that your antivirus software is blocking the installation. Could you check if you have BEService_ce.exe file in Program Files (x86)\Common Files\BattlEye?

Hi Ignasis, thanks for the reply.

I checked and Yes I have the BEService_ce.exe file in Program Files (x86)\Common Files\BattlEye.
In the same folder there are also 2 other files, one named BEService.exe & another one BEService_pubg.exe.
I tried opening BEService_ce.exe from here and I see the same behavior, meaning CMD opens for 2 seconds, then closes itself, and nothing else happens. {Just out of curiosity I opened BEService_pubg.exe too and it does the same thing}

Also, I added these 2 folders
Program Files (x86)\Common Files\BattlEye
and
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Binaries\Win64\BattlEye
as exclusions in Windows Security/Windows Defender and then I tried running the 2 EXEs again (the one I wrote about initially, and the one you pointed to), but I still see the same problem, CMD opens 2 seconds and nothing else.

I only use Windows Defender on my PC, no other antivirus, I always felt that this + paying attention to what I access and download is enough security for me at least :slight_smile:

Any other ideas?
Again thanks a lot for the help.
