BattlEye Anti-Cheat Configuration

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

BattlEye is the anti-cheat solution integrated with Arma Reforger. It's enabled by default on all servers and helps protect against cheating and exploits.

Enable or Disable BattlEye

BattlEye is controlled via the gameProperties section of your server config JSON:

server-config.json

"gameProperties": {
    "battlEye": true
}

Set to false to disable BattlEye, though this is not recommended for public servers.

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

Customize BattlEye RCon

You can modify BattlEye's RCon port and password by adding the following settings to the BattlEye config file:

Locate the config file

Navigate to your server files and find:

Arma Reforger/BattlEye/BEServer_x64.cfg

On XGamingServer, access this via Files in your panel.

Add RCon settings

Append the following lines to the end of the file:

BEServer_x64.cfg

RConPort 5678
RConPassword myNewBEPassword

⚠️ Warning: Only append new settings to this file. Do not erase or modify existing lines. Missing information will cause players to be kicked with "Missing GameID/MasterPort server config settings", and modified values will prevent BattlEye from working entirely.

Restart your server

Restart your server from the Dashboard for changes to take effect.

Repair a Broken BattlEye Config

If you've accidentally edited or corrupted the BattlEye config:

Delete the config file

Remove BEServer_x64.cfg from the BattlEye folder via Files.

Reinstall your server

Use the Reinstall option on your panel or contact support to verify and repair the server files. This will regenerate the BattlEye config with the correct default values.

📝 Note: Reinstalling or verifying files will not erase personal configurations, game progress, or other settings — only corrupted system files are repaired.
