Game doesn't start at all
Assigned, WishlistPublic

Description

When I try to start the game Launcher opens up, and from there I can click on Play button. After that, game starts to load, loading bar finishes and I can see an icon on my task bar, but game doesn't start at all. Icon disappears and all that is left is arma3.exe process that I can see via task manager.
Game doesn't start and I have to kill the process manually (from task manager) because it does take some memory. If I don't kill the process, it accumulates (I can have many arma3.exe processes active, but nothing is happening) {F27920}

Additional Information

I have the latest graphic drivers and DirectX.
I don't have any problems with other games, just ArmaIII.

I tried verifying integrity of game cache, and I tried with remove/re-install game from Steam, but same thing is happening. Game just doesn't want to start.
I had even trouble to have game to generate crash report.
Batlleaye also reported 'failed to download' on some first tries, but it stopped.

I must add: when I purchased the game, IT WAS WORKING. I have played it for few hours then had a very long pause without playing it again (was waiting for my friend to buy it too so we can play together).

Hello, please deactivate all modifications (e.g. Nam) and try to start the game again.

They are all deactivated. I even purged my mod directory. Still, nothing.

Btw, now at least game generates error report when it crash.
Here is the new error report:

Hello,

could you please verify your game files via Steam again and after that, please try to run your Arma as an admin.

Thank you

Done that. Tried - nothing. Game just hangs. Nothing happening.
When I start through Steam I get the same error like I posted ''Elevation of right needed'' or something like that. You have it in the last error report that I have sent.

I lost my hope.

Hello,

this error message indicates that you have set "Run as admin" either for the arma3.exe or for the arma3battleye.exe
You should be able to start the game normally by disabling the Run as Administrator feature for these two exe files.

Let us know if this have helped.

Thank you
