I tried all, really all.

Have you looked for info in the Steam Rock of Ages forums?

Here's the bug list report thread:

Apparently it's a Windows issue. People that have reported startup crashes are always using Vista or Windows 7.

Have you tried verifying the cache?
Does it work if you run in English?

[Salade au thon]

I did, but it doesn't work.

Did you skip the DirectX setup on startup? If so please check out these threads:

Ok, I've solved my issue, although I don't know if this is just a temp fix. Before launching the game, open the taskmanager and end the process called "taskhost.exe". Fixed it for me".
