After the 1.38 update this week, my Arma 3 would just die on launch with no error message at all.
I tracked it down to a memory registry setting done by the "GimmieMoarFrames" procedure.
Here's the relevant link: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?177454

My registry setting was different than that file (windows 7 64bit) and was found here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\arma3.exe
Some current issues, and possible resolutions:

It was also recommended to delete all the memory allocators in steamapps/common/Arma3/Dll and just use the system memory allocator for windows 7 and up. I haven't fully tested this yet, so do at your own peril.
While searching, I also came across a new network setting to help with lower bandwith. Just add "-bandwidthAlg=2" to your launcher line to use the new network code. It seems to work quite well after the last 3 ops.

Didn't have that type of problem, but last night after the update my screen would be shakey which makes it real tough to aim.
