I have not been able to play this game yet since I bought it on Tuesday. I have tried everything I could think of including completely reinstalling my graphics drivers and using launch options. I get two different types of crashes: 1. the game immediately crashes after pressing play and doesn't even start the loading process. 2. The game starts loading then launches but crashes once the Bohemia Interactive Presents screen shows up. {F17693}

i fixed this by:
1: right clicking arma3 in steam
2: click properties
3: local files
4: browse local files
5: right click arma3.exe
6: properties
7: compatibility
8: always run as admin
you can also delete your arma 3 app data folder which gave me another 10 minutes or so of game time.
i still crash every 20 minutes though.
