When starting the game, the logo appears with a loading bar under it. The bar doesn't appear to get to the end (last text seen is "loading profile options") when it crashes with the following error message:

After turning off my computer for the night and attempting to run the alpha again, the problem came back. I reinstalled the beta display drivers and it works again.
Is this an issue with the drivers not maintaining installation properly after a reboot or an issue with the game?
It appears I have to reinstall the beta drivers after every single game reboot. Have installed as administrator etc, but to me it looks like a driver issue and not an Arma 3 one.
Can you try use driver cleaner? Usage of driver cleaner before installing new drivers will make sure you have no corrupted drivers left on computer.
It was solution for lot of people.
I tried. Still didn't work.
Procedure:
I then installed the drivers again and now it works.
