Game crashes at startup
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Recently bought Arma 3 on steam but can't play as it constantly crashes just after splash screen and following black screen.

Things I tried already:

  • re-installing game (including clearing folders in "Documents"
  • video card drivers update for ASUS Matrix (Radeon 5870). Previously used beta driver, but updated to the most recent stable version which comes with CCC 13.12
  • played with command line arguments (nobenchmark, nosplash, window, cpucount...) in different configurations
  • using Windows Defender, but tried disabling it too
  • killed all applications except steam
  • switched to single display, as usually playing on 3 monitors
  • tried the dev build too

Not sure what else I can do... I would appreciate some help with it. Thanks {F22973} {F22974} {F22975}

Hmmm.. tried on Win7 and game works fine.
Re-installed Win8 and now works there too... I guess you can close the ticket now.

I was thinking what different was about my OS, and maybe the cause for the issue was the fact that I did an upgrade from Win8 to 8.1 instead of making fresh installation.

Ok, thank you for info.
