This is persistent error I've been unable to bugfix because it only occurs if you haven't been able to open the game before (I can't make it happen myself to see what's wrong)
Is it possible to go into the game folder and find either log.txt, traceback.txt, or errors.txt file? If so, that might be able to tell me what the error is. It used to be a failure with the function to check for updates, but that's no longer in LL_1 so it shouldn't be that.
Otherwise, there's this thread of options to help with bugfixing: /post/16053777
