Will BattleEye work with older operating systems, like windows 8.1?
That’s going to be anyone’s guess. Since Microsoft stopped supporting 8.1 in Jan of 2023, no one is really obligated to support any applications on it, unless they say that they will for some reason.
Considering that BattleEye does seem to have issues with people running pirated or cracked copies of Windows, and that 8.1 doesn’t get Security patches (and hasn’t for 18 months) - I wouldn’t be shocked if it didn’t run on anything before Windows 10. (Linux is an option, as BattleEye IS Steamdeck compatible…)
But, who knows - I didn’t see anything on the Google machine or on BattleEye’s website - maybe it works!
I’m sure you asked this already.
Yes, Battleye is OS independent. It should work fine.
I did ask this already on the “BattleEye” thread; however, nobody answered the question.
Thanks for both of your answers.
