I keep getting this error when starting the game, and the game closes right after. Why is this happening?

I'm amazed these reddit users were spewing nonsense about: "how smooth the release went, no bugs\crashes\disconnects".
There are SO MANY issues with the game's optimization been voiced by the thousands of players, makes me feel like whoever saying this are Netease's employees.

Are you for whatever reason running Steam or the game executable as Admin ?
