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 Server Config, 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.
