How to Fix the Game Crashing at Start
By h4ck3r
Anyone attempting to play this game with an Intel CPU (10th gen and later) won't be able to start the game without it crashing. The fix is to follow the steps in this link: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Troubleshooting_guide/Startup_and_launching_problems#Bypass_OpenSSL_SHA_bug_on_Intel_10th_gen_and_later_CPUs

As soon as I made the change, I was (finally) able to boot the game after 6 months of not being able to... Hope this helps others!
