In Death No longer launching

[Major Li Ability]

Steam VR shows the game. I launch the game and the small windows shows next up IN DEATH, a minute or so later and the Steam VR Home window shows back up. Game is failing to launch anymore. Firewall has full permissions for InDeath and In Death. Steam VR reinstalled, In Death Reinstalled, STEAM reinstalled (Hours later, Not doing that again). Any other ideas. Thanks.

I found a fix, it worked for me,

If you have intel processor try this

Right click start button, click search, type "environment variables", click on the one that says Edit environment variables for your system. Click Environment Variables on the advanced tab, then new under the system one, not account. variable name is OPENSSL_ia32cap, value is ~0x20000000.

Thanks, I will take a look at this but to be honest the post is from 2019 about compatibility issues, this was working up to around april 2021 Maybe a Windows update. If it works I will discount my first thought that the developers have closed shop.

Erizzt - thanks!
This fixed the fails-to-launch issue with Raw Data as well as In Death.

A better fix can be found at this reddit post (the solution is for Smite, but it also works for this game): https://www.reddit.com/r/Smite/comments/pl35y6/fix_64bit_not_working_on_10th_gen_and_11th_gen/

In a nutshell, changing environment variables in the Windows settings can have a negative impact in the performance of your system. It's better to set this variable only for this game. To do so, just right click on the game in Steam, click Properties, and paste the following into Launch Options:

cmd /c "set OPENSSL_ia32cap=:~0x20000000 && %command%"

This worked perfectly for me.

think I will keep away from the openSSL modification given the security flaws in it at the moment.
