After reinstalling Arma 3 due to an update failure, I realize that my controller setup has stopped working. I use a third party program called Xpadder with all the keys bound to their respective locations, none of which work any longer. I can see the Xpadder functioning as it should when having Arma minimized; I ran one as admin, then the other, then both, but the game does not recognize or wish to allow third party access. I also made copies of my Arma 3 folder(s) in my documents before uninstalling the game, and it still somehow affected my controls.

I have the same problem with a similar question: Instead of re installing the whole game, can a manual update be done? It seems ridiculous that you would need to uninstall it because an update failure cripples the game.

I removed the install script files and restarted Steam, and it began to download but quickly stopped and gave me the same error. I checked the cache again and there were 200 instead of 195 that needed to be re-acquired, but nothing could be done about it...

I'm having issues regarding the new updates. As of some time this week, multiplayer servers have been showing a red cross next to them indicating I cannot join. The description of the server says, Required: 1.26, and I only have 1.24. The game does not update automatically although it is set to do so. I went to the local files section of Steam and clicked on "Verify integrity of game cache" and came up with 195 files that were damaged/missing. Upon completion of the scan, there was a queue next to the Arma 3 name in Steam indicating a download will be in progress, however, the download never begins. There is always a popup saying "An error occurred while updating Arma 3 (connection time out)", regardless of when I try to update. I have switched from "Opt out of Beta programs" as well as "Development build" and in each case, a download of roughly 7.7 GB is pending but never initiates. Any thoughts?
