TheKottzter 0 Posted November 28, 2022 Whenever I start Arma I get this error message: "Problem occurred when saving profile data. The file may be set to read-only or can be blocked by another instance of the game (e.g., dedicated server.)" I've tried everything I could possibly find on Google without any success. I just got the game and I'm so ready to get it going, but nothing saves... Not my settings, not my profile "avatar" and not any of the missions. I start the game and I'm greeted by that horrendous message and the "New To Arma? We recommend playing through the bootcamp-" YES I KNOW, I'VE TRIED TO A MILLION TIMES BUT YOU WON'T LET ME SAVE!!! It's so fucking annoying, (pardon my French), to buy a game and then you have to spend two days to even get it running properly. I'm so sorry for this aggressive little post, but I'm starting to get moderately pissed. I... ...just... ...want... ...to... ...play... ...some... ...Arma.

TheKottzter 0 Posted November 28, 2022 Whenever I untick the "read-only" on the Arma 3 folder it immediately ticks it back it as soon as I've done it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pierremgi 4738 Posted December 1, 2022 "read only" on Steam folders, so Arma, doesn't hurt. You problem comes from your profile folder, probably not accessible. - Perhaps, your profile files are saved on a home server (not in your PC). In this case, not sure you are admin and /or you have a "write" access on them. - anyway, you could create a new profile, locally, and point at it, in Arma launcher / parameters / advanced >> profile folder.
