    Can't start battleye

    Haven't had any trouble playing before but when I tried to launch the game tonight I just keep getting a popup box that says Failed to launch battleye service. As far as I can tell nothing has been changed on the PC, no new windows updates, antivirous updates, etc. So is something down or is it my system?

    Thanks,

    G

    i am also having this issue. deleting battle eye and then verifying again to download it, would work till I closed Siege(like a fool). now that is not working. i am level 140 and this is the first time this has been happening.

    Same thing here. Was able to play without problem. Suddenly Battleye gives me problem(error code 1056) since the day before yesterday.

    Intermittent again tonight. Sometimes it lets me play, sometimes not. Soon I'll just switch to a different game.

    Do you mind people here post their rigs here?Maybe we can find something in common. I remember long time ago there is a bug which cause the game to crash and we need to turned off hyper-threading for our intel 6700k in order to play it. Just things Ubisoft does.

    CPU: Intel i7 6700k
    graphic card: Sapphire R9 Fury
    RAM: 16Gb DDR4
    Motherboard: Gigatbyte Z170N Gaming 5

    looks like this stupid Battleye doesn't really love Geforce Experience...

    i made a first install of the game - just bought it today- then tryed to launch it for 1h... nothing works...

    on a forum i saw someone talking about uninstall it.. so i did it, i reinstall drivers without Geforce Experience...

    and it worked...
    WTF is this stupid anti cheat noob devs ?!!

    Error Code 1056

    Ubisoft, please FIX THIS. Error Code 1056 is what's happening to me right now, and it's the same way where it worked for a while deleting the BattlEye files and verifying it, but now it doesn't work at all, I've spent over $100 on this game and now it won't work AT ALL. It's RIDICULOUS.

    Same issue here

    Started last night (I mostly play weeknights), rebooted, verified files, try to start the game and it prompts to update. It updates DirectX and VC 2010 Redistrabutables then I get the batteleye message. Extremely frustrating, especially since I like to do Terrorist Hunt and blow off my frustrations from earlier in the day against the NPCs! *lol*

    I had an issue similar to this with battleye previously and it was to do with the port settings. Some how they had been closed and once I reopened them it was fine.
