Description

We were unable to initialize launcher. Launcher will down close. Reason: [-103] Unknown
Every time I start launcher, whether from Steam or the steamapps folder, I get this message. Arma 3 launches from the steamapps folder, but the launcher itself will not start. Recently reinstalled Windows and all drivers, as well as deleting Arma local files and redownloading twice. {F27615}

Hello,
please uninstall the Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable package (x86 version), restart your computer (!) and install the package again https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784 (do not use the Repair function).

I tried that before, but it looks like I didn't do a clean uninstall. Repaired it, uninstalled, and reinstalled. Everything is running fine now. Thank you.
