Dune: Awakening error 3H3: BattlEye outdated (fix)
A "BattlEye version is outdated" dialog with code 3H3 appears at launch or login, sometimes clearing after 2-3 relaunch attempts and sometimes not.
Also appears as: dune awakening error 3h3, error code 3h3, battleye version is outdated, 3h3 error dune awakening, dune awakening battleye outdated
3H3 fires when the game can't confirm your local BattlEye anti-cheat version matches what the server expects. Players report it happening even right after BattlEight had already updated, which points at a corrupted or incomplete BattlEye install rather than you actually running an old version. A Steam Discussions thread on this exact error drew replies describing the same "every other load" pattern, and the reliable fix players report is forcing a clean BattlEye reinstall rather than repeatedly relaunching.
What to try
- 01Fully close the game and Steam, then relaunch — this clears it for some players after 2-3 tries.Reported
- 02For a lasting fix: verify game file integrity through Steam, browse to the game's install folder, run `Uninstall_BattlEye`, then launch the game so it reinstalls BattlEye fresh at the version the server expects.Reported
- 03If it still recurs, this can be server-side (BattlEye version mismatch during a rollout) — check Funcom's official X account for any BattlEye update notice before repeating the reinstall.Unconfirmed
