Disabling BattlEye On Your ARMA 3 Server

Summary

Depending on your Arma 3 server setup, you may want to disable BattlEye Anti-Cheat. While BattlEye is enabled by default to protect against cheating and exploit abuse, disabling it can be useful for testing, mod development, or private gameplay sessions where anti-cheat protection isn’t needed.

Disabling BattlEye Anti-Cheat

You can turn off BattlEye directly from your Arma 3 Server Config file through your ChipHead Control Panel.

1. Log in to your ChipHead Control Panel and stop your server.

   

2. Navigate to Game Config.

   

3. Within the <> RAW, find the line that reads BattlEye = 1; and change the value from 1 to 0.

4. Click Save.

5. Start/restart your server.

   

That’s it! You’ve successfully disabled BattlEye on your Arma 3 server. Keep in mind that while this change allows for more flexibility especially during development or testing it also removes an important layer of protection against cheats and exploits.
