Arma 3 Crash on Start-Up
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Hello,
I haven't played Arma 3 since the newest DLC came out, now when i try to launch i get a Memory could not be written error with a 0xC0000005 -STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION Exit Code.

I managed to launch the game successfully last night after several failed attempts but i don't know how i did it.

I have tried disabling shadowplay, anti-virus. And i have also done system scans through CMD and checked steam cache to no avail.

I have also launched the x32 Version of Arma 3 through the Arma 3 folder and it lauched with no error, however launching the x64 version caused the game to crash

Hello Again,

If i disable "Profile" and "Arma 3 Unit" under the Launcher's "PARAMETERS" Tab I don't get the crash on startup.
I have attached the PARAMETERS settings that got it to launch.

However when I exited the game and launched it again with the same parameters it does the exact same crash as before

See that issue for workaround.
Dunno why @Wulf closed it already.

Dunno why you are surprised @dedmen. This is a steam issue so there is nothing we can do about it. User found a solution thus it is case closed. No point in keeping it opened.
