Arma 3 launcher does not start
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When I attempt to start the Arma 3 launcher (whether from the file itself or Steam), nothing happens. Steam registers that I started the game and then registers that I am no longer playing the game after about 5 seconds. {F26572}

Attempt to start Arma 3 launcher

Additional Information

I saw a problem similar to this, saw that someone made a diagnostic tool for that person to use and have used the diagnostic tool myself and saved a report. It is attached. I have also verified the game's cache with Steam several times, and each time it seems Steam tries to replace the same file but fails somehow.

Hello,

there's an issue with automatic repair of corrupted user settings. Corrupted user settings is not detected correctly and the application the continue to run and crash because of it.

Try to run following hotfix, it will remove corrupted settings: http://arma.jiripolasek.com/files/CorruptedUserSettingsHotfix.zip

Thank you, fine sir. This fixed the issue.
