Just go and revalidate your game cache and let it update what it needs

HALLELUJAH!! FIXED IT! So here's what happened, when I went to disable services I saw that ESET Smart security wouldn't check off when I tried to like disable that service, so I'm likee... Hmm okay. So I went into the ESET Smart Security main Directory and I launched ESET, and then clicked temporarly disable Antivirus and antispyware protection, and BAM, IT WORKED!!! THANK GOD!!!

Aaannd that didn't work.. I'm literally out of options Caleb I want you to try to go and launch the game straight from the Steams Arma 3 directory and tell me what it tells you.

Calebb here's what I'm going to do, I'm going to try to redownload Arma 3 to another place (Like to my C: drive instead of my D: drive) and tell you how it works out. Because this is the last resort at this point. nothing helps

Sadly there is no update for me, by update you mean game update or steam update?

No, Zone Alarm (as mentioned before) is not an option. Please help us.

I don't have Zone Alarm, never heard of it, that is definatly not the issue. P.S> I would also like to point out that when you go to the Steam, main Arma 3 Alpha directory, and you try to launch the EXE from there, it pops up an Error window saying the following: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

I'm sorry, for me it didn't help :(, Thank you for trying though, I appreciate it. Anything else, please.!

Same here, have the EXACT same issue. :-( Very Upsetting

Hi, me and my friend want to start working on a ArmA 2 Roleplay mission, But me as a scripter and him as a texturer isn't gonna make the job done because we need more people, if you are interested, PM me or reply to this post and hopefully we can get somewhere :) Thank you for your time. -Alan

FIXED!!!!!!! Okay, so after Buying PayDay the Heist for 5 bucks on steam, I realised that no only in ArmA did I have this issue, decided to open my MSI Afterburner (Download link for that: http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm ) and I'm like "Hey, maybe my Core Clock MHz should not be that high up (It was at 798), so I just made it go from 798 to 699 and THANK GOD! it fixed, now here are some notes, I DID NOT over clock my video card, apparently it just did it on it's own, so if you are having this problem even if you didn't overclock your video card, try lowering the Core Clock MHz in the MSI Afterburner (Link provided above), and keep lowering it by 50 every time so you can get the hang of it, on less you know what's the recommended setting for your Core Clock. :D Hopefully that was a major help towards the community with that un-needed issue, and hope this is a solution to it. Any more questions feel free to Private Message me for maybe more detail or something, I tried to include everything I could in here. Anyways, all of you have a blessed day. I'm gonna go enjoy some games now ;) :cool:

I see, so you are telling me when you downgraded your graphics card, it started to work better then it used to? If so, can you please tell me how to downgrade to a previous version.

Hmm.. what's your Graphics card?

What do you mean by new program or Devices?, and I can't revert back or get a new one, Old card is gone and don't have the budget for a new one..

Come on guys, please don't let this Thread die, I really need a solution.. :(
