Hello,
it seems that Launcher can't load one of its files. Could you please check that the these files exists?

  • E:\Giochi \Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\arma3launcher.exe.config
  • E:\Giochi \Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Launcher\SharedResources.dll

They might be either missing or corrupted, so the best course of action is to delete them both and then let Steam re-download them both by verifying integrity of the Arma 3 in Steam.

Ouch, I just noticed that you have the game installed in the folder "Giochi " - there is a space at the end of the folder name and unfortunately some system functions that are used by Launcher doesn't support this, so it won't start as long as the game is installed in this folder.
