Description

We were unable to initialize launcher. Launcher will down close. Reason: [-103] Unknown
Every time I start launcher, whether from Steam or the steamapps folder, I get this message. Arma 3 launches from the steamapps folder, but the launcher itself will not start. Recently reinstalled Windows and all drivers, as well as deleting Arma local files and redownloading twice.

@xnooztv, attach files by dragging and dropping them rather than pasting a wall of text.

Try restarting your computer and then verifying the integrity of the game cache for Arma 3.

Hello xnooztv,
it seems that you've libraries from two different versions of Launcher combined in one folder, and that is causing the crash. If the verification of the game cache doesn't help, please manually delete the folder D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Launcher\fr-FR\ . This will fix the crash, but also it will remove French localization; to re-download it you have to run the verification of the game cache again.
