Arma 3 updating everytime its opened

[leadedcord 10]

Everytime I launch Arma 3 it needs to a update. Each update is around 7.8gb. There are no mods in the arma 3 folder.

I'd say delete your installation completely, and re-install OR use the 'verify integrity of game cache tab' to check the files ...right click on 'arma 3' in steam... go to 'properties' from here there are various tabs... 'updates' and 'local files' being the ones you should pay attention to....also make sure the beta(dev branch) Patches are set to 'NONE opt out of all beta programs' (downside to devbranch is it's for testing although it is great to try it as there's a lot of extras and performance tweaks ... secondly the servers on devbranch can be empty which means you have to revert back to your old patch...not a major problem but much better to update manually for piece of mind.

So that's it : it seems subscribed missions are updated each time i launch steam.
