Correction, 93% of players on steam have AVX2. Those who don't have AVX2 are on the minors.

Other than the Spec and driver problems. As expected, the game's server isn't prepared for the population surge for launch day. So such problems are to be expected. You might want to try the game again a few days later when the surge is finally over. Do not expect the game company to cough up money for servers just for a temporary surge, we've seen how unwilling they are on spending money on servers. So bear with it until the surge is over.

For Spec and Drivers problem:
[1] Make sure your specs meet the requirement of the game. AVX2 is among them.
[2] For drivers, make sure ALL your GPUs supports Vulkan 1.3, some PC have more than one GPU, so make sure all of them are updated.

Getting the system info:

[1] On Steam Client, click on "Help" on the top then select "System Information".
You can check most of your system info here, including whether or not your CPU supports AVX2.

[2] Press Win+R and type in vulkaninfo then press enter, this should tell you the information you need to know about the vulkan driver on your system.

[3] Press Win+R and type in dxdiag then press enter, this should tell you some of your system information and especially your graphic card information (in the display tab).

It's likely you have old CPU (like I do) that doesn't support AVX2, I have the same problem

Yeah..so I managed to play it with Boosteroid (streaming service), but I'm experiencing a severe screen tearing, like it's actually horrible.

If a mobile game can't run on PC it's actually really sad
