Is there any pop-up errors or nothing happens at all when you start the game?

No pop-ups. It just says "preparing" and then nothing happens

Try to start a game not via steam "play" button but by double click on arma3.exe which is located in Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3. If you'll get "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate application." then try to make a backup copy of Arma 3 (Steam - Backup and Restore Games), then delete Arma 3 folder and then restore it from backup you just made.

Starting it without steam gives me the error 0xc000007b

Hello,

it looks that the problem is on a third party side. Could you please try the steps described by Microsoft? If the problem still persists, please ask here for more assistance.
