I am having trouble launching the game. I click twice on the Icon, everything goes black and then the message "Win64-shipping.exe does not work" appears. What should I do?

I am also having this same problem. Does anyone have any ideas?

I have similar issues. What kind of graphics card are you using?

I had the same problem. Once you open the launcher disable antialiasing and start the game. Then you can turn it on while you are in-game. It worked for me.

WOW! This solved my problem. Thanks a lot!

Same here. Thanks, really appreciate it.

Yes it worked for me too, but I had to wait like 5 minutes before the real game started and I lost interest. I will wait until the patch is sent to see what happens... : )


It seems there is already a 2nd update on Steam, which includes fixed savegame loading issues . Lets wait and see.

Unfortunately, this method only worked the first time in my case. The second time I tried to launch the game by disabling antialiasing, my system crashed completely. Even windows could not log me into my account and logged me in a temporary account!!! I am not touching this game again unless they patch it.

Have the same crashing issue (it doesn't start up and if I change it ingame the game crashes) when I choose MSAA as AA mode (ATI 5980).

I didn't touch the antialiasing in game and I received the update in my account. I'll get back to you to say what....
Well the loading is still slow. I also have reduced the anisotropic to 2x.
Tomorrow, because today I am fed up, I will uninstall and reinstall everything, including the update.
After all there are other games to play and, if they comply with the release deadline I will be playing Sherlock Holmes.

khatziv, I am sorry for you computer.
