I have the same issue with 0.51 Experimental. 0.51 was working last week, now it will not launch.

Hi survivors,
terribly sorry to hear about your trouble.
We are aware of this - the issue is most likely on Steam's end. Would it be possible to reinstall the game, removing all the local files before, again?
It has helped some players with a similar problem.
Please let me know if the issue still persists even after.
Sorry again,
Andy

Hi Andy, already tried that. As long as I don't upgrade to 0.51 experimental it works just fine, when the download is finished, the error comes up again
