Intel Ice Lake CPU => crash => FIXED/WORKAROUND!

[Sunlight Games]

The problem with coming back to the desktop after the two splash-screens occurs (in our current knowing), if you use the game with Intel Ice Lake-CPUs 10. gen or newer. And it occurs since this driver might be updated a few months ago. It’s a bug in OpenSSL 1.2. Any game which uses this version will have issues.

There are a lot of other games, which use the same engine, we've used and who are having the same problem.

We will check, if an update can be provided. In the meanwhile, there's a workaround, which works for us (of course didn't guarantee, that it also works at all computers and we are not liable for any damage on Windows 10 or Windows 11):
Step 1. Open "Control Panel" by searching for it in Windows search bar, by pressing the Windows button or key.
Step 2. Go to "System & Security"
Step 3. Go to "System"
Step 3. Press "Advanced system settings"
Step 4. Press "Environmental Variables"
Step 5. Create a new "System Variable" (NOT USER VARIABLE)
Step 6. Enter the following into the Variable name box: OPENSSL_ia32cap
Step 7. Enter the following into the Variable value box: ~0x20000000
Step 8. Now press OK.

Please try starting the game again, you may need to restart your system for the changes to take effect.
