Hello,

the magic word is "Game Updater"

1. Open Steam, click on Library -> Tools and download "Arma 3 Tools".

2. Open "Arma 3 Tools" and click on "Play Arma 3 Tools".

3. Open "Game Updater" ("Advanced Tools") -> Accept the rules and stuff

4. Now you are able to create a new Arma 3 directory. Do not choose your already existing Arma 3 account!
- I would recommend you to create the Arma 3 (Main Branch) (normal A3 version) directory because it got its update in a less frequent way than the development branch. Let Steam handle the development branch because of its (nearly) daily updates.

5. Open "Options" and select the "Arma 3 Main Branch" (or the branch you want).

6. Click on "Update" and here you go. The selected branch got downloaded in its own directory.

7. After the download has finished, just go to the new created directory and make a shortcut of the "arma3launcher.exe" and put it on your dektop. You now are able to launch this A3 branch independently from the already existing Steam A3 branch.

I got steam authentication failed after while on server, wonder if it could be related to this.
