Could you please save the report from Dependenci Walker into DWI file, compress it into ZIP or RAR and upload it here? I need to know which of the files are corrupted and how to identify which component needs to be repaired and how to repair it.

The 3 files are corrupted, but beware they are in a different folder that DW shows (there are two different copies of those files on your PC).
All the files belongs to DirectX, please follow these steps:
- Go to the 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64' folder and delete these 3 files: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\D3DCOMPILER_43.DLL C:\windows\SysWOW64\X3DAUDIO1_7.DLL C:\windows\SysWOW64\XAPOFX1_5.DLL
- Go to 'C:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\arma 3\_CommonRedist\DirectX\Jun2010' and run the DxSetup.exe from there.
- After the setup finishes, check whether those 3 files were restore.
- If they were not, because the setup didn't repaired them, the download the archive from arma.jiripolasek.com/files/Juggernog_DxFiles.zip , I've uploaded those 3 files in there. Or you can find them and extract them from *.cab files that are included with the DirectX setup.
