crayfish 10 Posted July 23, 2013 Hi, I've had Arma 3 for some time now, but recently it has been unable to launch. It gives me this message: File C:\Users\Maks\Documents\Arma 3\Maks.Arma3Profile, line 1:'.h': 't' encountered instead of '=' It seems like bad coding or something, but I have no clue how to fix this. If anyone can, please tell me how to fix it. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Von Quest 1161 Posted July 23, 2013 1. How long have you had it? 2. Are you setup through Steam? 3. Last time you played? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crayfish 10 Posted July 23, 2013 1. I bought Arma 3 a few days after the Alpha came out. 2. Yes 3. Not too long after the Beta came out, maybe 6 weeks or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crayfish 10 Posted July 23, 2013 I must be doing something wrong, every time I delete it, it comes right back. I am right clicking that folder in the C: drive and clicking delete. Am I doing it wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crayfish 10 Posted July 23, 2013 Okay, I fixed the settings in that file and removed launch options from the game. I am not sure how to remove steam parameter. Thanks for everyone's help! ---------- Post added at 19:39 ---------- Previous post was at 18:51 ---------- I tried it after fixing the .cfg file and it still doesn't work. But, I don't know how to remove the steam parameter that you suggested. Can you tell me how to do that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
killerwhale 1 Posted July 24, 2013 in steam, right click your "Arma 3 Beta" and click properties in the General tab, you'll find "set launch options" remove any parameters and see if that fixes your problem after clearing CFG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crayfish 10 Posted July 24, 2013 I deleted everything in "set launch options" and changed CFG to what you said above and I'm still getting the same error. What else can I try? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
killerwhale 1 Posted July 24, 2013 ok i'm running out of ideas my last solution is to go "C:\Users\yourname\Documents" and delete your arma 3 folder then go to C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\ and delete your arma3 folder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Von Quest 1161 Posted July 24, 2013 I'm suspicious... (Beta only been out 4 weeks?). Can't you just re-download the game from Steam? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crayfish 10 Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) Thank you! It finally works and if the beta has only been out for 4 weeks than it must of happened a few days after the beta came out. See ya'll on Arma 3. IGN: Mitchell Edited July 24, 2013 by crayfish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
