Try launching from arma3launcher.exe or click the play button for Arma 3 on Steam.

This is what doesn't work. using either of these results in the launcher not starting and no error message appears. I can, however, start the game without the launcher using the game's executable, but i want to use the launcher for mods.

It doesn't, I have tried it multiple times.

Hello,
I'd guess that instead of creating the shortcut, you've moved Launcher to your desktop by accident. Launcher program is then missing the other files that it needs to run and that are in the game directory.

Please start the game through Steam or from the game directory.
