After game crash reconnecting to same server results in getting kicked for "Battleeye client not responding"
New, NormalPublic

Description

Whenever a player gets a game crash playing on a server with BattleEye enabled, reconnection to the same server will result in:
Reconnection works fine and player gets mission loaded, but after about 1-2 minutes of playing, he will get kicked from the server with the message "Battleeye client not responding".

Steps To Reproduce

Connect to a multiplayer server with BattleEye enabled.
Waituntil or force the game to crash somehow.
Reconnect to the same server and wait a couple of minutes.

Additional Information

Important, please read before asking for generous steps to be done:

  1. Connecting to the other servers will work fine.
  2. Server restart will solve the problem.
  3. If the player changes IP address via VPN service (NOT the connection, only IP) - it will solve the problem for that player, he will be able to reconnect without waiting for server restart.

I do not ask to fix a crash problem for every player out there who have arma installed. I ask, as a server owner, to provide a solution which helps to prevent the battleeye kicks for players with described problem. This is a known issue which I have seen on different kinds of servers with BattleEye enabled.
It hasn't been the case forever too. It was fine over a year ago. First reports on that problem have been happening since January 2018:

BattleEye is used by different online games, but it is an issue which I've got to see only in arma, with no reports about it related to other games, so I don't see how BattleEye support would help me.
