duderide 120 Posted October 8, 2017 Hello, recently, I updated my windows 7, as it had been out of date for some time, and I noticed that after the update my Arma 3 launcher refuses to work. Note, I have noticed a few strange error messages on other programs, like, D3DComplier_47.dll is missing and so on, since I updated my windows so maybe that has something to do with this. This is the error message I get when I attempt to launch the launcher: https://imgur.com/a/JzSlP Note, I can launch Arma 3 through the .exe but not through steam or the launcher.exe. Here is what I have tried so far to resolve the issue: 1) I have searched other BI forum posts and FeedbackTracker tickets to see if anyone has resolved the issue. So far, none of them have worked, and it appears that the issue I am having seems to always have a unique fix. 2) I have downloaded the D3DComplier_47.dll file and I have placed it in the main Arma 3 folder and System32 folder. 3) I have downloaded a couple of registry error fix programs. 4) I have verified my game cache and reinstalled Arma 3. 5) I have deleted various files inside the \Launcher folder in the main Arma 3 directory and verified the cache to reinstall the files; no luck. 6) I have attempted to install various versions of Microsoft Net Framework, however, everytime I try to install them them, they fail or cannot be updated. 7) I have checked and updated my graphics drivers. 8) I have checked and updated my CPU drivers. 9) I have checked my computer for an update file known as KB307... something along those lines, and I don't have it on my computer. 10) I have tried using Windows Checker System via the CMD window as suggested by BIS_Wizard on another forum post, so far, no luck. Here is the official error .txt file that is placed on my desktop everytime the launcher crashes Spoiler Arma 3 Launcher Exception Log ============================= Arma 3 Launcher has encountered an unexpected error described below.
