Running out of ideas when Arma 3 will not launch from steam. No error message.

[ryguy 10]

So, I get the normal steam launch box when it says "starting arma 3", mouse has the loading symbol next to it for about a second then it stops. And the game never pops up. Didn't have this problem with the same computer and installation just a few months ago.

Things I've tried:

*Checked A3 launcher .rpt file, no errors.

*Checked integrity of game cache

*Reinstall

*Reinstalled C++

*Reinstall .net

*Reinstall graphics drivers

*Offline mode

Any ideas?

Did you use Fred41's 'LargeAddressAware' tweak?

If so, need to edit an entry in registry.

Regedit path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\arma3.exe

"LargePage" value =0

If in Event Viewer it's kernelbase.dll error with Arma 3 then it must be that. Things got changed 5 months ago.

No, unfortunately I've never downloaded that app. The registry path you mentioned doesn't even exist on my computer.

Press and hold Ctrl+Shift while you click on the Play button in Steam. That will start Launcher in a safe-mode.

Still no dice.

hey,

have you checked the task manager if the process is running ?

[ryguy 10]

Yeah, sent it to you via PM.

I've checked the task manager when I've clicked it, what happens is it VERY briefly pops up and then immediately closes. Like, a fraction of a second. If you blink you miss it.

Ryguy, check to disable steam features, like steam overlay & fps counter?

I think I have found a solution. Arma 3 stopped launching from steam since the 13th for no reason and I have found a solution around it. Go to your C drive and navigate around to steam->steam apps->arma3. Then launch Arma 3 Battleye as a admin and DISABLE ALL MODS (somehow doesn't work with mods for me). Then you can play vanilla with no problems(?). Only thing is I can't launch using the launcher but I think it will fix itself soon. Good luck and tell me if it works!!
