battleye Failed to initialize BattlEye Service: Driver Load Error (2148204812).

Hello PCGamingWiki,

I recently reinstalled 'Outlaws of the Old West' and whenever I launch the game via Steam, I receive the following error message:

Failed to initialize BattlEye Service: Driver Load Error (2148204812).

I've gone into 'Services' and tried stopping and restarting the service, without resolve.

I've navigated to 'Steam\steamapps\common\Outlaws of the Old West\Outlaws\Binaries\Win64\BattlEye' and ran 'Uninstall_BattlEye.bat' with 'Install_BattlEye.bat' without success.

I've even right-clicked on files such as 'BEService_x64.exe', gone onto properties, and given them administrative rights.

How can I fix this issue.

Also to note... I've recently upgraded my GPU graphics card. From 'NVIDIA GeForce GTA 1080' to 'AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX'. I'm not sure if this may be affecting it in any way.

Please help me resolve this issue. I was kicked when testing a multiplayer server for the first time.

I contacted 'Outlaws of the Old West' support. They replied that currently, the game is only compatible with Windows 10. It states this on the Steam Store page, too.
