Description

I sent it to the Steam Community :

I just bought Arma III, I launched it and I have a LOT of problems with it

First :
After I launched the game, I had 2 error messages :
first : Problem occured when saving profile data. The file may be set to read-only or can be blocked by another instance of the game (e.g., dedicated server).
second : Exactly the same (so : Problem occured when saving profile data. The file may be set to read-only or can be blocked by another instance of the game (e.g., dedicated server).)

Second :
When I go in "Play" and "Multiplayer" I cant' press "No" to the bootcamp, I only can say "yes"

Third :
When i'm in game, I can't "Save and quit", if I press it, the game save and didn't quit the game

Forth :
When I try to change my settings (and in fact my commands) I CAN'T save it
It's ok when I left the command but when I'm back in game, the command reset and I can't resolve it.

Please help me, Maybe that's cuz I dl the game in my external disk ?

After that, a really nice guy tried to help me

I think its because you have it on an external disk.

Finally. I hope that I'll can help somebody with it :)

Hello,
glad it's fixed for you now. The problem is that system sometimes marks temporary locations as "read only" and it is impossible for the game to write there anything (such as settings or save files).
