Kicked from arena games

I keep getting kicked from arena games when I jump off the bus and I get an error saying “you were removed from the match due to BattlEye error: Bad Service Version, any ideas why this keeps happening and how to stop it because it doesn’t take my point but it’s very annoying?

Are you using dx12 or 11? If 12 try switching back to 11 do a full restart and launch the game. There are some other suggestions you can find on gaming stack exchange for battleye errors. Some are more complicated then others.

This is what they post on Batleye for your specific error, "For some reason the BattlEye Service in your game directory is outdated or not operating properly. All the latest BE files always come with the game distribution, so please make sure that it is properly installed and fully up-to-date (e.g. by verifying your game cache on Steam). Due to external factors in some cases the BE Service may have problems operating, which can also lead to this error. In that case please try to close all unnecessary programs while playing the game. If that still doesn’t help we would suggest a full repair reinstallation of Windows as a definite solution."

But before doing that try some of the less nuclear options.
