If the launcher had a server browser integrated, with the option to save servers to favorites along with personal notes (dayz commander had this), i would see it useful. At the moment im mostly playing Epoch, Breaking Point, Wasteland or Battle Royale, and i find A3Launcher to be my best alternative as it not only downloads the mods, but it launches the right mods for the right servers, rendering most of my own interactions to the least. If i could press Play on arma 3, and get a launcher that does all these neat things for me, i would use it.

Hi!
When I run the game with arma 3 sync it gives an error message “Game executable not found. Please repair your game using the Steam Client.” I have found your recommendations “How to verify the game cache:
1. Open Steam.
2. From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu.
3. Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game cache... button.
4. Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes.”
But it does not work.
Game cache is alright, and Steam does not download any files. If I deleat arma3launcher, Steam uploads file, but the error doesn't disappear.
I hope you can help me.
Thank you.

Try to find arma3.exe and run the game once from using this executable file. You issue with Arma3Sync should then be solved.
Or you can instruct Arma3Sync to run arma3.exe or arma3battleye.exe directly.

После недавних обновлений steam появилась странная ошибка, в библиотеке steam постоянно пишет "Arma 3 - Готова к игре" а когда запускаешь саму игру постоянно пишет "Arma 3 - Запускаеться" хотя игра сама уже запущена, но steam опять питается её запустить из-за этого сильно нагружается комп и возникают лаги. Наверно Arma постоянно что-то питается загрузить со стима.

No problems with your config "Wildcat10". I have i5-2500k and GTX 650 TI and I don't have problems to play Arma III.

Hello,
do you have any error report file on your desktop, what happens if you click on the PLAY button?

My A3 Launcher isn't working properly anymore. It was working fine yesterday. I opened on Launcher and after 3 seconds or after it says Mods are up to date. Windows comes up with a message saying its not responding. I already tried to verify cache and nothing, and even set it to admin. It didn't even leave an error report behind.

EDIT: I seem to have fixed the issue. It seems there was a mod (PAK FA) was removed from the workshop? but was in my subcribed mods. So I unsubcrbed and relaunched Steam. It works now. Also I do get crashes from Launcher once in a while when I'm in game.

Could you please open Event Viewer, go to a node Windows Logs / Application in the tree on the left and look for any error related to Launcher crash?
Thank you.

It might be an odd question, but do you have an stable internet connection? We're aware of an issue that occurs when Steam client detect a loss of internet connection it switch itself to offline mode and some dark magic happens at that time...

Could you please report this to http://feedback.arma3.com/ under Launcher category ? It would be easier to contact you back if we find something.

Wizard some steam users have been having an issue where they have not subbed to any workshop content and there getting an update which downloads and then stops -looping every 1 second and the only way to disable it is by stopping the update thing on the steam settings, but seriously it didnt help for me, now i get in the game and the game lags i orginally have 50-60 fps and then suddenly this workshop content just glitches and drops me down to 8fps, i thought i resolved the fix by reinstalling the game and removing the workshop folder but it didnt work atall, i hope the dev team gets this issue fixed before i give this great game a thumb down

[Commissar Lemon]

the only time it stops downloading that content is when my game is unistalled i did everything to get this issue fixed and all else failed, i wanted to request a refund but my playing hours are to big and i mean very big 238 hours on arma 3 because i love the reality and the cosplay realism of the game, and now its neglecting my dissision to write a nasty report to you all but i'd rather be generous to make a complaint about the issue that i am having and that i want this issue to be fixed or atleast someone giving me a step by step tutorial on how to stop this from happening

So it seems that Valve agrees with you: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/SteamClientBeta/announcements/detail/52140522642591505
