Arma 3 profile editor crashes

[Maj (Ret) D. Johansen]

To my absolute displeasure Arma 3 decided that yesterday prior to a flight for the JTACs that my profile and all the settings and controls included where to be completely reset and was refusing to work.
After a complete redownload of everything I were able to get most back up and running with the very exception of the profile editor, faces, XML, etc.

Every time I change any setting in there and click apply the game crashes consistently. I've tried with and without mods, running as a admin, steam validation however it is amazingly stubborn
Are there anyone here that has any solution or guesses to have it fixed? Might seem like a low priority problem but without it fixed I have no way of attaching the XML which puts me against policy

Try navigating to the Arma 3 - Other Profiles folder in your Windows user account Documents folder, and pull everything out of that folder, that will force the game to recreate it from scratch on next load. It sounds like something in that folder got corrupted, and that's probably the source of your issue from the start.

I will try this. Thanks much
Update: It didn't work. Even though I removed my files in "Other profiles" it continues to crash when I attempt to use the profile editor to make a new one
