Start game and it will not launch.
Event Timeline
Hello swtx.
Have you tried to verify the game data through Steam? And if you are running mods, can you try to uninstall them and launch the game without any mods?
I verified game files, still crashing. I uninstalled game and reinstalled it didn’t help.
I can’t uninstall mods because game will not launch unless there is a back door to remove them.
Thx
You need to unsubscribe from them in the workshop and then upon reinstalling they should not be installed any more.
I cant unsubscribe from the mods because the game will not launch. You have to access workshop from main menu.
There needs to be a way to launch Reforger into a SAFE Mode without mods so you can unsubscribe one at a time to find the problem.
At this point, if I want to play I will have to purchase a brand new copy of the game so it will launch unless not being able to access mods from a different way or booting without mods with access to the workshop.
Hello swtx.
Apologies for the confusion. From the log it appears that the issue is not related to modded content.
Are there any files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma Reforger\addons\data (or wherever you have installed game), including ArmaReforger.gproj file?
Also, how do you specifically launch the game?
I typically launch the game from the shortcut on the desktop.
There are pak files in the directory you stated above including an ArmaReforger.gproj file.
Can you try to launch the game directly via steam play button instead of the shortcut?
Okay.
Then, can you try to launch the exe directly in the installation directory?
Additionally you can try to start it as an administrator.
Thank you.
Can you please upload your ArmaReforger.gproj file and also:
try to add this parameter:
-gproj with path directly to ArmaReforger.gproj located in your installation directory which should force game to load this specific file
example: -gproj "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma Reforger\addons\data\ArmaReforger.gproj"
Path must be encapsulated in ""
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma Reforger\ArmaReforgerSteam.exe" -gproj
I created a new shortcut and ran the parameters above. The game is still not launching but the error message is gone.
I uploaded the *.gproj file.
Also, can you try to launch game with new profile by using -profile parameter if that changes anything?
We are glad to hear that the issue was fixed. Would it be possible for you to upload the profiles folder for us just so we can check if there are any issues with it?
