launcher wont work no matter what i try
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Went to open arma 3, the launcher wouldnt open. Had to go into my files and run arma 3 through administrator but that never went to the launcher. Just straight to the game. I cannot get the launcher to work no matter what. Ive tried all the troubleshooting steps, ive tried to verify the files, nothing changes. I can run arma 3 but i cannot get to the launcher to organize mods and whatnot.

Hello,

there's an issue with automatic repair of corrupted user settings. Corrupted user settings is not detected correctly and Launcher won't start because of it.

Try to run a hotfix that will remove corrupted settings. It's part of Arma 3 Tools on Steam or directly from a mirror http://arma.jiripolasek.com/files/CorruptedUserSettingsHotfix.zip
