Help ME

[Hascter]

good morning/afternoon/night

I come looking for help please, I've been wanting to play this game for a long time because of its gloomy and incredible setting but unfortunately, since I bought a new PC so I can run it, it no longer opens on steam (I bought it). I don't know what the cause is, I tried to fix it for possible file failures, things about dll programs and that, but nothing works. All the games in my gallery open except Adam Lost Memories. And I was sad because I wanted to make content on yt and twitch about the game. Please someone help me.

Psdt: I don't know if this message is well written since I don't know English, I resort to google translator to communicate

Man, that really sucks. This game is awesome but it's got A LOT of problems. I actually thought about starting it again because it crashed at the beginning of the last chapter and I lost all my saved progress. I was able to find a save file for that chapter but it doesn't work either. The chapter still crashes.

Wish I could help you, I loved what I played of this but sadly the developer doesn't support it which is a shame. And I had other issues going through it too, including one key item not letting me pick it up and then when I reloaded an earlier checkpoint it was suddenly in my inventory!

I posted this a few questions above. But after starting Adam from your Steam library, for me another dialog box (the one that looks like Steam is about to do an update) opened up with a button 'Play the Game'. Check to see if that is your issue.

I waited 20 minutes for the game to start and when I finally investigated, the game was stuck on a Steam dialog box that simply wanted me to push the 'Play the Game' button inside the dialog box.

This was my experience.

I'll give it a shot. I definitely want to finish this if possible.

In my case the game still doesn't work, I wanted with all my heart to finish the game and make content for this horror gem.

Something I found that fixed another game (Agony) that also fixes this game, because they both run on Unreal Engine (it's not my solution, but it works):
This seems to be an issue with a 10th or greater generations of Intel processors from what I've gathered from researching online. Here's the FIX.

Step 1: Click Win+E
Step 2: Right Click "This PC" and select Properties.
Step 3: Select Advanced System Settings.
Step 4: Under the "Advanced Tab" at the bottom of the page Click "Environment Variables".
Step 5: Under "System Variables" Click "New".
Step 6: In the "Variable Name" box paste "OPENSSL_ia32cap" without the quotation marks.
Step 7: In the "Variable Value" box paste "~0x200000200000000" without the quotation marks.
Step 8: Click OK and close out of everything.
Step 9: Restart your PC

Step 10: Have fun playing the game.

NOTE: Can NOT confirm if this works for VR

Hope this helps. Basically UNREAL has an old version of Open SSL and this fixes it. Directly from Intel.

OpenSSL* 1.0.2 beta (Jun 2014) to OpenSSL 1.0.2k (Jan 2017) contain bugs that either cause a crash or bad SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) values on processors with the SHA extensions, such as the recently released 10th Generation processor. Both bugs were fixed years ago; however, any application that uses the old version directly, or as one of its dependencies, will fail. Unreal Engine* version 4.13 (Sept 2016) to version 4.21 (Dec 2018) contains the old version of OpenSSL, so any game built using those versions is possibly affected.
