0003996: starting arma 3 with any RHS mod other than USAF results in crash due to "Data file too short" - delete then reinst doesn't work
when attempting to run game with any RHS mod other than USAF or any other with USAF this error is generated:

https://gyazo.com/3190ed5ecc57fe33a7c3f6919be5feec [^] - AFRF

https://gyazo.com/7bd27fe70f641e1c8e5f3e1310756791 [^] - GFRF

https://gyazo.com/6c6d0e9616029e8661f99df236e2a0ba [^] - SAF

They all result with the generic error "Data file too short" along with it saying it expected a certain series of numbers and a letter in one of the pbos but got a different one. After closing this error they all result with this error:

https://gyazo.com/fd1e07046bcd640e5c885b3fe3d18bd5 [^]

"bad_module_info has stopped working" making the arma 3 engine crash, but not closing the launcher itself.

Deleting the RHS workshop files, deleting the files from the launcher itself, and unsubscribing then resubscribing does not fix the issue, it doesn't seem like a corruption as reinstalling it numerous times shows same error.
Run arma 3 with any RHS mod that's not USAF or any RHS mod with USAF.
RHS USAF seems to work fine though I am not sure why every other one is affected, they are all affected by different pbos when they crash.
No tags attached.

provide .rpt, try to delete whole steam and in most extreme situation just do format of drive since I can say it with 100% certainty that it's some corrupted download

Thank you for the help I wouldn't have thought of needing to reinstall all the game files, but it has returned to working order after deleting Arma 3s files and uninstalling and reinstalling the game. I don't know why only USAF would stay unaffected and how they seemingly corrupted overnight, and I could only locate one .rpt from the day I took the Gayazo screen shoots which didn't say I was running any mods. Also, the fact that deleting and reinstalling the mod files themselves didn't fix the issue. I'm assuming this would have something to do maybe with the way the workshop interacts with the game itself? Anyway, thanks for the help when I looked up this problem the only solutions I found said nothing about deleting the games files themselves.
