Originally I copied my old steamapps folder to my new machine, all my other games worked except ARMA3. I have bought a new PC and I can't get ARMA3 to launch. I may have been ok if I went into steamapps and deleted what was left of the ARMA3 installation.ie the ARMA3 folder, therefore you can't assume the uninstall ARMA3 function deletes the entire installation.only the core game files. When I uninstalled ARMA3 it probably left these files, so hence they still existed when I re-downloaded the entire game. I guess this is a danger when copying your steamapps folder to another machine, it will pull across remanent files that may not be required. I believe this may have been created from my creative soundblaster\Alchemy software on my old machine. The next error was the ARMA3.exe error which detailed Dsound.dll as the issue. I stumbled on it by running 'eventvwr.msc' which highlighted an issue in my windows event logs\applications pointing to 'Creative Labs Sc' faulting. This issue ended up being a dsound.dll in the arma3 directory over-riding the one in system32 folder.
