what did you do to get it to run? i'm having the same issue now. Go to launch, starts and then crashes. I can't figure it out.

I looked for old cache files in documents folder and deleted settings and cache,then re-verified game in steam and it should work.

You may need a new ACM.exe. Happens from time to time, for example when you move it to a new steam installation - At least if the ACM.exe is 4 GB patched.
The original exe should have about 32MB file size, not 13kb like the patched one. (You can patch it afterwards)
It's located in steamapps\common\Aliens Colonial Marines\Binaries\Win32.
Reimport the original or verify after deleating the current exe file.

btw: If it was patched, the original should still exist as _ACM.exe in the same folder.
