Description

Hello,

I can start Arma III with "-nolauncher" but I just can not start the Launcher.

The launcher window does not appear on screen and the process is instantly closed if I look at the task manager.

My arma3launcher.rpt:

Have you already tried to check the integrity of the game cache (Steam->Library->Arma 3->Properties->Local Files->verify the integrity of game cache)?

If the launcher still crashes, try following step:

-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).

Hello,
from the error I'd say that there is a mismatch between Launcher files, as it is trying to load a part of a program that was removed in this or some previous version.

I'd suggest to you to:

  1. Go to the game installation folder 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\'
  2. Remove Launcher folder, remove any of these files "sharedresources.dll", "utils.dll", "steamlayerwrap.dll" and any folder that is match the pattern xx-XX (e.g. en-US, de-DE).
  3. Re-verify integrity of the game cache using Steam client.
