Trying now Alan! I have ESET aswell. HOLY BALLS IT WORKS!!!!! THANKYOU ALAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought it was eset because when i turned it on just before and it said that arma was a virus. But i turned off eset and it still wasnt working... but it was sneakly running in the background! YEwwwwoowowowowowow ---------- Post added at 03:28 ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 ---------- Now im getting another error lol. Just after the this is war and the logos just before it goes to the main menu it comes up with Bad animation file format in file 'ca\air2\mi35\data\anim\kia_mi35_pilot.rtm'.

It comes up with windows cannot access blah blah because you dont have the permissions. ---------- Post added at 01:22 ---------- Previous post was at 00:37 ---------- Alan, I have submitted feedback and the issue to the ALPHA HUB. You can find the issue here: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=5378 I will update on this every day

Updated it all... totaled around 700mb? im guessing missing files. Validated files again and it still says 1 missing and still hacking the unknown error. Its unbelievable. I want a refund. ---------- Post added at 05:24 ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 ---------- Oh and my mate gave me a downloaded copy of the net (pirated) and im able to play that on my pc and it works online. Steam is the problem here... I legitimately buy the game with my money i earn and i cant even play the bloody thing on my days off. But someone who downloads it illegally can play it with no problems. BS.

Alan, Check your steam. I just booted up and started it and there is a massive update it seems... 400mb. I will post again to see if it fixes! here hoping!

Okay guys this is extremely weird... I booted up my computer yesterday and started steam e.t.c. then clicked play on arma 3 alpha and it worked? I actually played the game for 1 hour or so and it crashed e.t.c. booted it back up and it worked again... i played for around 3 hours completely fine. When i entered a game it would always come up with missing 'sound ....' something? i cant remember what it bloody said!! but it was something to do with some sound file missing?? does anyone else get this? I started to try and play today and im getting the exact same unknown error and it wont start!! ARMA was awesome to! ---------- Post added at 06:47 ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 ---------- Another update: I cross checked my files with a friend and it seems that in the 'addons' folder in arma 3 steam folder are missing some files. By missing, i mean most of the files listed are less then my friends. For example; A3.pbo is 6333kb and my friends is say 8000kb. This has happened to MULTIPLE files totaling in a loss of 200 mb. I copied my friends addons folder to my folder and steam validated the files and deleted them... it then said you are missing 25 files and they will be reacquired. Right now they are downloading... So heres hoping for a fix. ---------- Post added at 07:09 ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 ---------- Same problem still persists... checked files again and files are missing around a couple of megs or kbs. Missing around 200mb in total.

Hi guys and gals, I just bought ARMA 3 ALPHA off steam and downloaded it, however when I try to launch the game it comes up immediately with 'failed to start game (unknown error)'. Things I have tried; 1/Reinstalling twice :mad: 2/Verify integrity of game cache (comes up with '1 FILES FAILED TO VALIDATE AND WILL BE REACQUIRED' but never downloads anything...) :confused: I'm stuck and I have found no forums about this yet? I really want to play it and only have 1 more day off then Im back at work for the week :(
