Batleye tries to install every time i join a server
Need More Info, NormalPublic

Description

Every time i try to join a DayZ server, the game closes and opens up the Battleye launcher which then tries to install Battleye.
I already have it installed (obviously) and have played the game before. This only happened since the latest update on the 15th October.
If i hit install on the Battleye launcher I accept the EULA and it installs successfully, but then does the exact same thing again when i try to join another server. If i hit cancel on the Battleye launcher it closes and still happens every time i try to join a server.
I am not alone in my struggles as i have posted a discussion on the steam community to see if anyone had a fix for it and have found other people in the same situation as me. Also i have a friend who i was trying to play with who had the exact same issue as me. When i played last night it happened to me, but was fixed by a computer restart but that didn't work for me today or my friend last night.

Hello PoonHoover.
Are you launching the game through launcher or the executable directly? If you are using the executable / executable shortcut, you need to use the DayZ_BE.exe for the BattlEye to load properly when launching the game.

Geez
