I added the DLC-Heli content yesterday and my game stopped launching. It still goes through the profile and initializing of addons but then when it changes to the "Bohemia Presents" screen the process just stops. It will not continue to launch. Prior to the download of the DLC I never had an issue. It would always continue past the "Bohemia" screen and launch. {F25084}

Steps To Reproduce
I have tried launching in every way possible -- through Arma launcher, Arma3 sync launcher, directly through Steam, directly from the EXE as administrator.
I have tried uninstalling all mods and unsubscribing from all workshop content and disabling the DLC as well.
I even did a complete re-install of the whole game.
Still can get past the Presentation Screens.

Hello,
have you also tried deleting your current profile? If you run your game with parameter -name=blank, it will load with different profile, then we could see if there is a problem with your data or not.

Also, could you please try to upload your rpt file here?

Thank you!

So, I deleted my entire steam install and re-installed without the Heli DLC and it seems to be working now. I am uneasy about enabling the Heli DLC now but I guess I can live without it. At least it seems to be working again now. I have uploaded the RPT from yesterday evening. I hope that helps. Thanks.

The Helicopter DLC is always part of the game for all users. Those who purchased it have it activated, so you should be fine. Try to insert a Taru helicopter in the editor and get in as pilot to see if that works.

I was able to insert a helo and but a few of the options (such as changing seats in the helo) prompted me to have to buy the DLC. Plus the "LSHIFT+P" promo is in the corner of the screen.
Not using the DLC is OK for the moment. I already purchased the DLC but I have not enabled it in my steam properties for fear that I will have the same issue (purchasing it is what caused the issues in the first place).
Was there an issue with the DLC that has since been fixed by a patch -- since the first release on Nov. 4? Has this issue happened to other players?

I am afraid the this is the only case. However, just for confirmation, could you please try to enable the DLC? You should not be donwloading any large data as they are already present in the game.

Ok, I was able to enable the DLC and the game started as it should three times. I suspect whatever the issue was has now cleared itself. Thanks for the help.
