Battleeye says that it is not running if I startup D2 as admin so it doesn’t let me past the main screen, even though i was able to prior. I mainly do so as it causes the game to be much more stable.

@jade gale What does battleye say?

#

My main suspicion is that the battleye might not be starting thus refusing to boot the game, is that a new occurence?

jade gale
#

The game says that battleye isn’t running. Only when I run D2 as admin. I’ve tried setting battleye.exe launcher as admin on startup, but no dice

Ok that means, the service is not starting

#

On your keyboard, do the shortcut Windows symbol + R (+ not included) a small window will show up on the bottom elft

#

type in there services.msc

#

and press OK, a new window will popup with tons of name, locate the "Battleye service" and check its status

#

if it says disabled, right lcick on it, properties, change its state as automatic startup ; and also start it

#

After you've done that, try to boot the game

#

@jade gale all good?

One sec

#

It was set to manual, even after changing it to auto it doesn’t allow me to pass through.

#

Thank you for your help nonetheless

I’ll try it rn

#

well it allowed me to enter through the actual launcher, but it doesn’t feel the same. i’ll try reinstalling it another time, thanks again
