Defunkt 431 Posted February 26, 2016 A couple of things you might try; 1. See if you can launch arma3.exe without the launcher (look in <SteamLibraryFolder>\steamapps\common\Arma 3\) 2. See if it's getting as far as creating a report file and if so check to see what's entered in it; (look in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Arma 3\) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

St. Jimmy 272 Posted February 27, 2016 there is alot of .rpt files and 1 log in that folder Look at the rpt files. The numbers in the file names are date stamps so just look if a one gets created when you've launched the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ozzbik 71 Posted February 27, 2016 Filleh, Have you tried running steam as administrator? Could be your problem is security related. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ozzbik 71 Posted February 29, 2016 Filleh, Strange that doesn't seem to work. Is the process active after you've started it as an admin? I assume you're the administrator of your machine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ozzbik 71 Posted February 29, 2016 Try the following. Run taskmanager to confirm steam isn't running (if it does, kill the process). Run steam as admin again. Confirm that the viruscanner or firewall doesn't block any actions. You haven't got any other issues with the steamclient? Otherwise you could try a reinstall of the client (move the gamefiles to a temporary location for later use) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ozzbik 71 Posted March 3, 2016 Have you tried running without mods? Looks like there's a problem with one of them. But is this the rpt after you've started the launcher? In the file i can see the loading of a mpmission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the file i can see the loading of a mpmission. and now some how it works, i think i know a fix. If u remove ur workshop stuff and addons from arma and then remove a folder called appcache here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam and then restart your comupter. I dont really know but my arma 3 launcher opens now. But dont remove this thread if it stops work ill just contact u here again 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
