BattlEye Anti-Cheat Configuration on Your Arma Reforger Server

Configure BattlEye anti-cheat on your Arma Reforger dedicated server, including RCon port and password customization.

BattlEye is the official anti-cheat for Arma Reforger. It's enabled by default on all servers and is mandatory for crossplay servers.

Enable or Disable BattlEye

In the Arma Reforger Config editor, go to the Properties tab and toggle BattlEye, or edit config.json:

"gameProperties": {
  "battlEye": true
}

Warning: Disabling BattlEye on a public server leaves it wide open to cheaters. Only disable for private testing environments.

Customize BattlEye RCon

You can set a custom port and password for BattlEye RCon by editing BEServer_x64.cfg:

Stop the server

Go to Console in the XGamingServer Panel and stop the server.

Open the BattlEye config

Click Files in the sidebar and navigate to:

Arma Reforger/BattlEye/BEServer_x64.cfg

File Manager

Append RCon settings

Append these lines at the end of the file (do not modify existing lines):

RConPort 5678
RConPassword myNewBEPassword

Save and restart

Click Save Content and start from Console.

Critical Warning: Only append new settings to BEServer_x64.cfg. Do not erase or modify existing lines. Missing values will cause players to be kicked with "Missing GameID/MasterPort server config settings". Modified existing values can prevent BattlEye from working entirely, allowing the server to be unprotected.

Repair a Broken BattlEye Config

If you accidentally corrupted BEServer_x64.cfg:

Stop the server

Delete the broken config

In Files, navigate to the BattlEye folder and delete BEServer_x64.cfg.

Reinstall

On the Dashboard, click Reinstall Server. This regenerates the BattlEye config with correct defaults.

Note: Reinstalling preserves your config.json, save data, and downloaded mods — only the server binaries and BattlEye files are restored.
