OK i just reinstalled ArmA 3 after wiping my hard drive and will not let me launch it. It comes up with the error on the screenshot. I have tried reinstalling, verifying game cache, restarting my PC, uninstalling everything to do with steam and reinstalling it all, attempting to use parameters (don;'t know how so failed) and running steam as an administrator. Nothing has worked. This is starting to get really aggravating and im pulling my hair out over this. It would be absolutely amazing of i could get some help with this issue. {F26952} {F26953} {F26954}

Hello,
thank you for reporting the issue. There's an error in the dialog when a game crash is detected and under certain circumstances it causes Launcher to crash too. This issue was already fixed, but it won't solve your original problem with the game itself.
You can workaround this error by creating a folder 'Arma 3' in 'C:\Users\Legare Walpole\AppData\Local\'. That should fix Launcher so it will be able to tell you what is wrong with the game.
Could you please open the menu in the top right corner of Launcher and click 'Prepare Arma troubleshooting error', save it and send it to us?

Sorry, I've missed the picture in attachment O:/ It seems that some files on your computer are corrupted or have a wrong version: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Unusual_process_exit#0xC000007B_-_STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT

Could you please save the data from Dependency Walker to a .dwi file (File/Save) and upload it?

Compress the file to the ZIP archive and then upload the ZIP file, what should get you around that upload protection.

Hello,
according to the Dependency Walker your problems are caused this file:
1.) XINPUT1_3.DLL
- Go to a C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ and delete this file.
- Re-install DirectX from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109
Edit: removed mention about the other file, it should not be causing any issues.

I fixed the problem. It was happening to a few other games so I refreshed my hard drive and a couple important files were missing. Thank you for your help, I appreciate it more than you know.
