Arma 3 Launcher constantly crashes, will not even open.

Description

After a series of crashes of Arma 3, the launcher for the game refused to work in any way. I would double click on the game in steam and select the launcher from the pop-up menu.

After this, nothing would appear on my screen, however steam will show ARMA 3 as being launched for a few seconds. I have tried multiple times re-installing ARMA 3, reinstalling all the packages provided with ARMA 3 and following suggestions mentioned on other error reports here on the site.

I am at my wits end regarding this. I would be very thankful for any solution to my issue {F24630}

Hello,
were there any logs created in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Launcher\Logs\ ?
If yes, could you please upload them?
Thank you!

Hello, thank you for uploading your logs.

Could you please delete a file C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Launcher\Addons.meta and run the Launcher again? It looks like your addon cache become corrupted.

Hi,

I'm marking this as resolved. The Launcher is now (in development version) handles data corruption gracefully and will run even if it's data files are corrupted.
