Arma 3 Launcher Emergency Log ============================= Arma 3 Launcher is unable to start due to corruption in a configuration system. http://arma3.com/launcher/troubleshooting http://feedback.arma3.com/ ----------------------------- System information ----------------------------- Date: 2018-12-09 13:17:58 / 2018-12-09 13:17:58 +00 Current dir: J:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Command line: "J:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3\arma3launcher.exe" Version: 1.5.145.268 CLR version: 4.0.30319.42000 OS Version: Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.17134.0 OS 64bit: True Process 64bit: False Personal dir: C:\Users\Alan\Documents Local App Data dir: C:\Users\Alan\AppData\Local Culture: en-GB UI Culture: en-GB ----------------------------- Errors ----------------------------- Message: Configuration system failed to initialize ----------------------------- Trace ----------------------------- System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Configuration system failed to initialize ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Xml, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies.

I really don't know what to do to fix this. I just wanna commit war crimes in Antistasi dammit.

This is a fine solution but there is an upper limit to how many mods you can load with this, and I want to play Antistasi with my friends who have a fair few mods. I have, however, possibly figured out the cause of my launcher not working. For some reason, system.xml files for games and programs on my computer don't play nice. As such this means it's no longer an Arma 3 issue but a PC issue.

Still crashed when I opened the launcher. It should be noted this is a problem with the launcher and not the game; if I enter the Steam file location, I can open Arma 3 just fine through its .exe, but this doesn't load any mods which is an immediate issue.

Didn't help. Received the exact same error and log.
