SAND: Raiders of Sophie BattlEye launch error fixed after a reboot

  1. The Steam version of SAND: Raiders of Sophie failed to launch with Unexpected error occurred.

    In the end, after setting Sand_BE.exe to run as administrator and rebooting the PC, it started launching from Steam. The reboot seems to have been the trigger, so I still do not know whether that setting alone fixed it.

  2. This was the dialog I was seeing.

  3. Before that, I tried Steam file verification, moving the install from the E drive to the C drive (the drive with the OS installed), and reinstalling BattlEye. At each point, the same error still appeared.

  4. The last thing I changed was Sand_BE.exe in the game folder.

    I enabled PropertiesCompatibilityRun this program as an administrator, then rebooted the PC.

    After that reboot, SAND: Raiders of Sophie started launching from Steam.

  5. When I have time, I will move the install location back to the E drive and check whether it still launches.
