Hello,

We’re currently working on fixing the issues you’ve reported through the various channels and we hope to have an update for you shortly. Until then I might have another work around you. Please note that this work around ONLY applies to the “You need to launch and exit the game at least once before you start using Infinite Screen”-problem for Arma3.

Open the directory “%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Arma 3” and check if you have a file called “<windowsusername>.Arma3Profile”. If the file is not present then the problem can be resolved by simply creating a text file and renaming it to “<windowsusername>.Arma3Profile”. You can either do it by yourself or let Arma3 do it for you.

“Do it yourself”-method:
Step-by-step:
1. Navigate to “%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Arma 3”.
2. Right click inside the folder and select “New > Text Document”.
3. Rename the newly created file to <windowsusername>.Arma3Profile (make sure to remove the .txt file extension!)
4. Open “Infinite Screen Extension” and click on a game-tab other than Arma3 and then click the Arma3-tab again. The “You need to launch and exit the game…”-message should not appear.
5. Run Arma3.

“Arma3”-method:
Start Arma3, switch to the default profile and exit the game. This should also create the required file.
Step-by-step:
1. Open Arma3.
2. Click on Configure > Profile (make note of which profile you’re currently using) and select the topmost profile (it should have the same name as your Windows user name).
3. Exit Arma3.
4. Open “Infinite Screen Extension” and click on a game-tab other than Arma3 and then click the Arma3-tab again. The “You need to launch and exit the game…”-message should not appear.
5. Run Arma3.
6. Click on Configure > Profile and select your normal profile.

Don’t forget to keep an eye out for the Infinite Screen Extension update notification!
