Game Crash at startup
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

As soon as I try to start the game, the ArmA 3 Logo appears with the loading bars. Afterwards the screen turns black and the application crashes. So i wasn't able to start the game.

Solution: I started the game with -winXP as starting parameter. It is working for now. {F16968} {F16969}

rpt is added

Please update your directX to the latest version and also please try reinstalling the latest stable GPU drivers with clean install checked. Let us know if that helped

Tried that, but it still starts only with the -winxp startup parameter.
I mean, for me it is no problem to do so. Would just be interesting what causes those crashes. ;-) I added the new RPT file as well as the dxdiag file, maybe it helps. It seems as the error code has changed by now.

@Spiitz is the issue fixed for you, also if you remove the -winXP parameter?
