Arma 3 Lite dose not start at all
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Well, I gave to a friend Arma 3 Lite so he can try it and he told me always when he try to play the game nothing happens, Simply makes a black screen for few seconds and then he is back to desktop and if he look at steam it says he is in Arma 3 Lite and he have to restart his computer to be able to join anyother game.

As far as I know, a lot of people got the same problem. Just search on google and youl find the same Issue. {F18598}

Wrong severity changed. block>crash

Can he try use -nobenchmark command line option?
Right click on Arma III in your Steam Library>Properties>Set launch options

Can he try kill all unnecessary applications before start Arma 3?

Ive upload the files. Also, he, got ArmA 3 Alpha LITE not the full version.

He tried the -nobenchmark command and still not working.

There should be no reason of any application should block the game from working.

You have true, correct is c:\Users\****\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Alpha Lite\

Rpt file should be there, I hope. I need see .rpt file for next steps. Thank you

Well, theres nothing els in the foldier. The game just simply dose not start. When he try to open the game a black screen came for like 5 seconds then it gets him back to desktop and nothing happends. If he open the Friend list from steam, he apear he play Arma 3 Alpha Lite.

Since an RPT has not been produced and the Alpha lite has expired now - closing.
