warbirdguy1 14 Posted September 9, 2016 Hello, I am only moderately computer literate so please make sure to break everything down into simple terms. I have a Windows 7 PC with a 730 graphics card and an I3 2120 processor. I can access the launcher and click play. The loading bar appears but always closes at "Loading Profile Options" with no error. I have a read a bit and have had no luck or the information is obsolete...Any ideas?Thanks!

ineptaphid 6413 Posted September 9, 2016 So the loading bar just closes?As in, the game just shuts off? Have you ever gotten the game to run,or does this always happen? First I would try verifying the integrity of the game cache. Right click Arma 3 in your steam games list and then click "properties.Then "local files" and then "verify integrity of game cache". Do any issues like this occur with other games? When you say a "730 graphics card" do you mean the Nvidia GeForce GT 730? Check that the graphics card drivers are up to date. Your card's power is a bit on the low side, but I think it should still run the game. And also, how much Ram do you have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warbirdguy1 14 Posted September 9, 2016 I have 12GB of RAM and all three of the cards have the same GB and speed. I do have the Nvidia GeForce GT730. I may in the future rob a PNY GTX 750TI from one of my better computers to see if it changes much. If it means anything I use the same Steam account on this computer and my better one. I have ArmA III from the same account installed on both machines. I make sure ArmA III and its launcher are closed on the PC I am not using. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ineptaphid 6413 Posted September 9, 2016 So when did this issue start?Also-are you trying to launch any mods at the same time?If so,disable them and try launching the game vanilla. Another thing to try is to launch the game straight from it's .exe file. Go to Program files(x86)> steam>steam apps>common>arma3>arma3.exe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do not know how I missed that before! They are updated and the game is operational now. Thanks for the assist! Here is the link for video card drivers in case anyone needs them. http://www.geforce.com/drivers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
