I cannot open the game. I bought the game about two months ago using Steam. At that time, when I would double click the desktop icon it would go through the initial loading screen. . .preparing addons. . .initializing addons . . etc. . .Then my screen would go black and the Arma3 icon would come up and it would start loading something else.( sorry, I no longer remember what was loading) All of a sudden my laptop would crash with GPU crash and my laptop would restart. Every time I would try to open the same thing would happen. So, I tried updating NVIDIA drivers, that didn't work, still same GPU crash. I then tried installing old NVIDIA drivers that other players said they still use and the game works fine for them. Still, same problem persisted.

Finally, I installed the Beta NVIDIA driver (other players said they were having similar problems and this worked for them). After I installed this my GPU crash problem disappeared. But unfortunately a new one started.

Now when I try to open Arma3 it goes through the initial loading screen . . .loading addons. . .initializing addons. . etc. Once that is completed the loading screen disappears and the icon disappears from my task bar. I try to double click the desktop icon again and get this error message: Steam error: Failed to Start Game (App already running).

When I go in to task manager I can see that it "looks" like it is running but can not bring the game up anywhere.

Steam thinks the game is running because my ingame hrs increases until I end task Arma3.

Any help you could provide would be much appreciated. It's acting like the game is running but I can't bring it up anywhere!! help!! :) {F23929}
