I've been playing Arma 3 for a long time now and have never encountered this issue. I'm trying to install the game on my wife's new computer.
I downloaded it from Steam, I then click to start but was hit with this message "Corrupted Configuration". I then get an emergency file placed on my desktop that looks like this:
Arma 3 Launcher Emergency Log
=============================

Now I'm not the most tech-savvy so I don't know exactly how to fix those errors, and everything I've looked up so far has been unspecific.
I made sure all the files on Bohemia's troubleshooting link were installed and verified the integrity of my files with Steam, but I still get this error.
Can anyone help me? The PC is Windows 11 by the way.
