ARMA3 no longer starts

Recommended Posts

About a week ago my arma started crashing every time i try to start up,when I launch the game my mouse cursor vanishes and nothing happens until I click then my screen goes black and stays that way until I click again and then I get ARMA3 has stopped working.I tried uninstalling the game and wiping all arma3 related files from my hard drive an reinstalling from scratch and I still get the same thing.

My specs

windows7

MOBO ASUS P8 Z68-V/GEN3

CPU I5 2500K

GPU EVGA 670

Try to 'check cash' from game properties in Steam. Also try to cut your Arma3.cfg from \Documents\Arma 3.

Is anything else running? Some programs like Bandicam prevent Arma3 from starting. Also some people have DPE problems with Arma, in which you'll need to allow it to run via User Control -but generally you would receive a Windows error with a long string code.
