Disable BattlEye

If you’re hosting a private Ark Survival Evolved server for friends and don’t need anti‑cheat, you can turn off BattlEye from Auto Config.

  • Game Servers → Your Game Server Name → Launch Arguments → search for BattlEye

Search results showing the Disable BattlEye toggle

  1. Find Disable BattlEye in Launch Arguments.
  2. Toggle it on to run the server without BattlEye.
  • Toggle changes auto‑save.
  • Restart the server to apply security changes.
  • Disabling anti‑cheat is intended for private or trusted servers only. Public servers should keep BattlEye enabled.
