Grimez 1 Posted April 26, 2015 Hey, I just finished updating Arma 3 on Steam. When I open the launcher it say "All mods up-to-date" and then I can click the yellow play button. When I do that the Arma III icon comes up with the little loading words and bar under it. Then my screen goes black like it does whenever I launch a game, but before the splash screen or anything shows up - it crashes. arma3.exe just disappears completely. I don't know what is causing this so any help would be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackal326 1179 Posted April 27, 2015 Try running the game without the launcher (either add '-nolauncher' without the '' to the steam launch parameter, or if you're a bit more tech savvy make a custom shortcut to arma3.exe - you don't need to put a launch parameter in using this method). If it still crashes, its an issue with your game (presumably an outdated mod which isn't compatible with v1.42), but if it works its possibly an issue with the launcher. My guess is it will still crash due to an issue with an outdated addon/mod. In which case you'll need to go through one by one disabling any enabled mod folders until your game loads and you'll at least know which mod folder is to blame. Then simply remove addons and repeat the process one PBO at a time until you find the PBO (or PBOs) that are to blame. EDIT: Upon review, loading the custom shortcut to arma3.exe should technically default to running no mods, so the game should load fine, which wouldn't necessarily indicate an issue with the launcher. You'll need to add in a command line such as the following: "G:\Games\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\arma3.exe" -nosplash -mod=@Mod1;@Mod2;Mod3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(excuse my bad english) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mk_Ymre4ig I don't think system specs are an issue, your system whoops mine. It would appear to be mod issue. The main menu also appears to be missing the background cutscene (did you run it with -world=empty as a parameter?). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avhamond 10 Posted May 2, 2015 Thanx i have just tried the -world=empty parameter without succes. I havent modded the game... and have installed it freshly last evening. Its really wierd.. i have the latest Nvidia drivers etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 4007 Posted May 3, 2015 Use an external launcher. This is what i use for example and have no issues with the game: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=19582 I don't think system specs are an issue, your system whoops mine. same here and my specs are: Win7 64bit Intel I7 950 @3.07ghz 4gb ram x2 Nvidia Geforce Gtx 560Ti Asus P6x58d-e 1Tb hd 850watt PSU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avhamond 10 Posted May 6, 2015 I think i finally found my problem... Its working now!! I removed the drivers for my sony eye cam and deinstalled the freetracksoftware. It almost looks like the freetracksoftware conflicted with the startup of the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sRNGwPRDB4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simpson317 10 Posted May 10, 2015 My arma crashes: I join a server, select a slot, then i get this error I've tried verifying my arma, restarting etc everything. It looks likes its broken. Anyone have a fix for this? It's extremely annoying. Exit code: 0x000000FF / 255 Reason: unknown Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simpson317 10 Posted May 10, 2015 Hello,system error with this code - ERROR_EA_LIST_INCONSISTENT - usually indicates that the file system is corrupted. This may happen because of a hardware failure, a virus or simply because of a abrupt power loss or unexpected shutdown while a file was being written or modified on a hard drive. I've never encountered this error with Arma before, so please take this only as an educated guess :bounce3:. 1. run a disc check on a drive where the game is installed; 2. run a disc check on a drive where the operating system is installed; 3. run the System file check from the command prompt: sfc /scannow After that I'd a good idea to restart the computer and then verify integrity of game cache in the Steam. I've tried doing these steps, but its still not working. Can you please look further into this for me? I've seen a few other people posting on steam about this problem.

simpson317 10 Posted May 11, 2015 I'll try, sir. Can you please look into the system event log for any related error record? Open the Event viewer, navigate to Windows Logs / Application and search for any related error (error or warning at the time of the crash) and send it me? Also it would be helpful if you could send me .rpt files from %localappdata%\Arma 3 folder. This is what it says in event viewer at the time of crash. I'm not sure how you want me to send the .rpt files? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
