Can't Install Arma3
Hey,

I wanted to try out Arma3 before buying it but for some reason I cannot install the game. I see the icon Play the Game, however after i click "play" nothing happens. Sometimes for a brief moment a small window with something like "Scanning games library" shows up and then that's it.

Has anyone got any ideas on what could be wrong?

I don't have the game in my library. It says it's free weekend, but I can't seem to play it. Nothing happens if I click ''Play game'' from its store page

Try asking for support with ARMA III forums or the game's discussion board (linked below) on Steam, this is the a general Steam help section so you are going to get a lot of irrelevant responses

Maybe. But in that case the Steam community wouldn't be able to do anything, therefore the ARMA III discussion board would still be more relevant as the developers can at least get a hold of Valve quicker than the general community.

I have the same issue they better let me have a free day or two to decide if I want to buy this game in the future or my money is going towards Reign Of Kings and items for Counter Strike Global Offensive

Need to know how the performance compares on multi to DayZ SA I have played a cracked version of ARMA 3 single player runs in 30FPS everywhere i go but in dayZ Standalone it becomes a 15 fps slideshow near towns or cities. I need to know if my frames will be better on this and if it is i'll make a purchase even if it's not on sale by then

Just wait for the free trial to work - you can hardly complain about something that's free after all, especially if you're cheap enough to crack things and openly admit it on a game distribution forum.

What's wrong with cracking if it's for checking the quality of the product. I'd rather pirate then give my money to Valve and then experiecing countless bugs.
its because steam was crashed
