Game Won't Launch
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hi
I bought Arma 3 on steam today and after complettely installing the game and launching it for the first time, the game froze my computer. I had to turn off the computer as it would not respond other commands. I turned it on again and tried to launch the game again but this time it just wouldn't even launch. All that shows up its a message that the game is starting but it quickly disappears and nothing happens... What should I do??

Hello,

as a first step, I'd suggest that you verify integrity of game cache: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335. If you use McAfee antivirus software, I'd suggest you to turn it temporarily off, because it is known to cause problems with Arma.

If above doesn't work, could you upload Launcher's logs from the folder:

%localappdata%\Arma 3 Launcher\Logs
