Hello,
it seems that some files in your Arma 3 installation are misplaced and not up to date. Unfortunately verification of the game cache doesn't remove such files, so it can't fix that automatically.

You have to manually delete these files from Arma 3 root folder (if they are present, but at least 3 of the are):

  • E:\STEAM\steamapps\common\Arma 3\log4net.dll
  • E:\STEAM\steamapps\common\Arma 3\SharedResources.dll
  • E:\STEAM\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Utils.dll
  • E:\STEAM\steamapps\common\Arma 3\protobuf-net.dll
  • E:\STEAM\steamapps\common\Arma 3\SteamLayer.dll
  • E:\STEAM\steamapps\common\Arma 3\SteamLayerWrap.dll
  • E:\STEAM\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Xceed.Wpf.Toolkit.dll

and folders:

  • E:\STEAM\steamapps\common\Arma 3\en-US
  • E:\STEAM\steamapps\common\Arma 3\de-DE
  • and any other folder that has name in pattern xx-xx directly in E:\STEAM\steamapps\common\Arma 3\ folder

After that Launcher should be working again, if it does not verify the game cache again.
