After buying Arma 3 via Steam, I discovered that it fails to launch when started. The logo appears and states that the game is loading, but then the logo disappears and the game fails to start. According to a Steam message the game is already running, but it never launches. {F20923} {F20924}

Event Timeline
We need dxdiag and files from this folder for solve your problem. C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Local\Arma 3\
Can you upload somewhere in winrar package please?
When package will be smaller than 2,097k, so you can attach here. When package will be bigger, please use some free sharing service and post link here. Thank you.
Please try use -nobenchmark command line option.
Right click on Arma III in your Steam Library>Properties>Set launch options
Which graphic card do you have?
The -nobenchmark command worked and the the game is now playing. I am using an Intel(R) HD graphics card with Intel Core i5-3330S Processor.
So far the game is running better than Arma 2 did. I'm just having a little lag like everyone else. I don't know if my performance will go up or down when the full game comes out.
So it seems like there is an issue with the graphics card detection, if the nobenchmark option helped.
Could you please still attach the DXDiag output (go to Start screen -> type 'DXDiag' and run it -> select "Save all Information").
