Crash on launch

[Mage Leader]

Bought this game and installed it along with the widescreen fix. The launcher opens normally but when I launch the game it gives a loading screen and immediately crashes, confronting me with the following wall of text:

Program command line ".\Freedom.exe"
Program compile time 20220305 - 03:01

Exception at 005D4AF5: ACCESS_VIOLATION (write to 0408AC70)

RtIGetAooCintainerNamedObjectPath()
-Function Dump-



Anyone know what may be causing this and how to fix it? I've updated my drivers, tried compatibility mode, run as administrator, verifying the game files, reinstalling, all the usual things. I'm running it on Windows to with a GTX 1660 Super and a Ryzen 7, if that makes any difference. Would appreciate some help. Thanks.

I am in the same boat. I really miss playing.

Have you tried without the widescreen fix?

Yes. No dice either way.

У меня тоже не запускается. Также всё перепробовал. Удалось поиграть?
It doesn't start for me either. I've also tried everything. Were you able to fix it and play?

No, I was not.

step 1 - download dxvk (dxvk-2.4.1.tar.gz) (https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/tag/v2.4.1) and unpack
step 2 - go to x64, take d3d8.dll and dxgi.dll, copy this to main folder Freedom Fighters
