Every time I try to start the game, I get "Automation_shipping_.exe has stopped working". This happened to me yesterday and I thought maybe the update today would fix it. I am on windows 8 by the way, and I did try just running it in windowed mode with the lowest resolution.

Just to give more info,
I do see an "FMOD Error 74 bus or vca not found" like three times.
The game did launch and work for me when it first came out on steam

Hi JSauce,

Can you go to My Docs\My Games\Automation

Delete the following files:

log.txt
KeeEngineLog.txt
soundLog.txt

Then Run the game again, and attach any of the log files it makes to a post. Cheers

This is what I get now

Can you do a Verify Game Cache?

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_art ... -QEUH-3335

That fixed it.
Thanks!

I have the same problem.
I played the game at Thursday, without problems.

On Friday i want to launch the Game again, but i get the same Failure:
Automation_shipping_.exe has stopped working

I have Windows 7 (64-Bit)

D3D ERROR: D3DERR_DEVICELOST
DESCRIPTION:
Device lost
Engine initialisation failed. Could not initialise render manager.

^^The help to Verify Game Cache and the deleting of the files don`t help.
I tried also to re-install the Game, but it doesn`t work.

Can you try it in Windows, or Borderless?

I don't know why (maybe you alt-tabbed during loading), but the device context was lost. The game can't cope with losing the device, as during start up the device is needed for creating RenderTargets etc.

I try it to create a shortcut from steam to my desktop.

Now it works, if i start it over the shortcut.
Thx

But if i use the Windows - key, it end, with a failure message.
I need to click on my second screen, to minimize them.
