Can't start the game

Hi I can’t start the game I press play game and they give me : automation_shipping_steam.exe stop working close the program

and on the note pad of the automation_shipping_steam I got a FMOD error 74 - the request event, bus or vca could not be found.

please help me

Heyya!

Please post your GameLog.txt here which you find in the folder Documents\My Games\Automation
That may give us a better clue about what is happening. The error 74 is irrelevant (everyone gets it) :slight_smile:

is it possible that I can’t find the icone for lunching the game by my computer it’s seem that it launch by steam

Can you see if this fix solves the startup issue?
steamcommunity.com/app/293760/di … 763786630/

Also a DXDiag would be helpful in case that doesn’t work:
wiki.automationgame.com/index.ph … ation_File

In case the first fix doesn’t solve the issue, please email the DXDiag to caswal@camshaftsoftware.com including a link to this forum thread :slight_smile:

You are getting a DirectX error as the gamelog states. Have you installed the required DirectX 9 version as suggested in the first link I provided above?
