When I launch ARMA 3 I get to the main menu and it freezes.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When I launch ARMA 3 from Steam, It goes to the splash screen and then the main menu. Once at the Main Menu it looks like it will work because I get the Software Mouse Cursor and it lets me move it around, but I cannot click on any of the menu options or anything. I Always have to go and CTRL-ALT-DEL it and bring up the task manager and shut it down because it says that it isn't responding. I also thought it may be an issue with loading and left it all night to see if it was, and it still was locked up and I had to shut ARMA 3 down by CTRL-ALT-DEL 'ing it. {F25183} {F25184}

Hello, could you please try to upload new crashdumps (rpt + bidmp + mdmp with the same name), but without -nologs parameter? It prevents catching errors to the rpt and makes the crash analysis impossible. Thank you.

This is the only file it gave me this time. It still froze though.

You still use the -nologs parameter. Could you please delete it?

Hopefully that one will work. I didn't realize I had the parameter set on the launcher.

Could you please try to disable all mods and delete your profile folder?
C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Local\Arma 3\

So I disable the mods in the launcher? Because I cannot use the menu in the game to disable them because of the menu freezing? Most of my mods are in folders which I have activated through the main menu not the launcher.

then you can just delete them from Arma folder and delete the profile as well.

My Profile is not in that folder?

I am very mod dependent for ARMA 3, is there a way to know which mod might be making it freeze?

It will also take me about 2-3 hours to delete the mods...

Mods are not official content from Bohemia Interactive and it is very likely that the CTDs you are experiencing are caused by collisions between two or more mods.
There is unfortunately no way to tell which mod/mods are causing the crash.
I'd recommend turning them off on by one.
Unless we have clear unmoded data, we cannot perform crash analysis.
I'm marking this issue as resolved, since it is most probably caused by a mod. If you encounter it on clear data and profile, please leave a comment and I'll reopen it. Sorry for inconveniences, have a nice day!
