Steam doesn't boot up ARMA 3 after it already been played within the last start-up of Steam
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

A better amount of the time if I play ARMA 3 and launch it through Steam, play for a an hour or so, quit. Then leave Steam open, return for a few hours try to boot up ARMA 3 again and when it launches it seems like the cancel button is click when it boots. A quickfix involes just restarting steam. I think it could be my skin, as I haven't been able to reproduce it on an empty skin of Steam, although a friend said the same thing was happening to her. {F17374} {F17375}

Looks like a Steam issue to me. Is this happening with any other game?
What skin are you using? Are you able to upload it here?

Also please provide files from C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Alpha\. Just in case. Thank you

The skin is AIR by Prohibitor, Link the the forum thread here. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1161035

Yup this skin sometimes causes that the game won't start at all.
2 suggestions. Do not use this skin and also contact the skin creator with this issue.

As this is not Arma 3 related issue Im closing this for now
