I will assume your rig meets the minimum requirements to run this. Steam should be able to ID what config will work best on your rig, so you should not have too big an issue fixing this.
Your first step is checking your graphics drivers, update or reinstall.
Next, in steam go to your library, right click on your title and select "properties". Select local files and then select "verify integrity of game folder". Let this run.
If upon verification your title still won't work, select "browse local files" in the previous folder and locate this programs ".exe".
Right-click and select properties, then click the compatibility tab.
Select the box the says "run this program in compatibility mode for:" and then select Windows 7.
If none of the above steps work you may have a larger issue going on.

Online again.
Game crashes on start up. it can not create a file named "Rendersettings.ini" if you create it manually it will interact with it (for exemple changing the resolution will be noticeable just before it crashes )

It is a heapsize problem, 100% it is a problem with videocard, maybe you need to apply lower resolution or settings
Anyway, go teamviewer tomorrow, wait for my pm,ok?

What you need is the rendersettings.ini file and generate it manually.
A steam player already solved this problem.
Check these out:

Hope it helps.
By the way, what windows OS version are you currently using?

Code:
Or you could make your own .ini using notepad. Just open it, copy paste
// Render Settings
RenderWidth = 1920
RenderHeight = 1080
VSync = true
Refresh = 60
MSAA = 0
Gamma = 1.0
COMBINED_BLUR = COMBINED_BLUR_DISABLED
ZOMBIE_COUNTS = ZOMBIE_COUNTS_ONE
SHADOW_QUALITY = SHADOW_QUALITY_LOW
TEXTURE_FILTERING = TF_ANISOX4
change those renders, set vsync to false, save it as rendersettings.ini and drop her in place. I don't know the max resolution, heck, I didn't even see a place to change in game settings.

Dual boot your PC with Windows XP or Windows 7, that should make it compatible.

Ok i have new things to test for you
Change audio quality to 16 Bit DVD quality

System audio option, advanced, "24 bit 48000hz"

tried everything on the thread now, nothing works, i'd be happy to set up teamviewer. raising bounty to 30$
try installing on a USB and see if it works on there and make sure your system is fully up to date with no firewall blocking the program

Have you followed my advice in the post #5?
This usually does the trick, I have never encountered an launch error witch wasn't directly connected with one of the M$frameworks.
There is a slim chance that you will never be able to play this game with the current rig, tho. (you actually never provided us with your exact specs)
My last advice, install OPEN AL.
