gamerpaddy 11 Posted August 8, 2015 1. Check which program is using the Config / Profile. Using Process Explorer: http://superuser.com/questions/399659/how-can-i-identify-what-application-is-using-a-given-file Close that application if you know which one it is. 2. DId you had Arma 3 installed on a other Harddrive? Maybe the arma3.exe hasnt the right permissions to write to user/documents/arma3 Find the arma3.exe (and repeat this to all other .exe files in this folder, including battleye/ folder) right click, security now click on the lower button (must be named advanced / extended or something, i dont have english windows) and set the Owner (at the top) to your user. Simply click on it, and enter User, then on the right button. Ok everything and try again. if this didnt help, go to Documents folder, search for arma3 and arma 3 other profiles folder (if theres one) and delete it. If all this didnt help, run arma3battleye.exe as administrator (right click, run as admin), then it should have the permissions to write the config. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_player 1 Posted August 24, 2015 That didn't help me. In fact, I can't even find the arma folder in neither "documents" nor "onedrive/documents". The game can't write into profile files because they do not exist. Will try reinstall, since the Arma has migrated to Windows 10 from a previous OS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_player 1 Posted August 24, 2015 Nope, no luck after reinstalling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pettka 694 Posted August 26, 2015 Could You, perhaps, try to use a -profiles= parameter to launch the game with? It is a workaround, we are trying to investigate the cause of this behaviour (and thanks for Your ticket on Feedback tracker!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
