Fix for crashes

[Chr01s]

I have crashes when i try to play a new game, or even at launch and the game not start.
I found a fix for that.
Since an OpenSSL version in connection with a 10th generation of Intel i-series processors (or newer) there is a bug, which has been solved, but some games contains the old version of OpenSSL.
1- Press WinKey+R to open the Run window. Paste in:
SystemPropertiesAdvanced
2-Click on: Environment Variables
3-Press New in the lower frame: System Variables
4-Paste these values in the fields:
Variable Name: OPENSSL_ia32cap
Variable value: ~0x20000000
5-Press Ok and close the windows. Restart the computer and try the game again.
This worked for me, thanks to Gamesplanet for the fix.

sorry to hear that, it worked for me, but for some reason sometimes crash due to errors.
sometimes the game don´t start but if i try a few times the game starts.
you can delete what you have written but i didn´t do it. in theory nothing will happen if you delete it (not tested by me) be careful because i don´t know if can mess with something.
this game has been a headache for me to play it since i buy it.

Ok there is an addendum to state;
I see where you got your information. According to gamesplanet help blog to fix the crashes you can either do what you mentioned or turn off your internet. For me it worked doing both. When i did that the game only crashed once for me since instead of every 20 minutes.

this is no resolution.
For me the game crashes all the time i've press Esc button or click on Return option.
I've already edited the OpenSSL and have tried to run the game without net connection.

This fix worked for me.
I did not have to turn off my internet access. Just the OpenSSL tweak.

Glad it worked for you, iv´e heard on internet a post when they say frogware has recovered the ritghs for publishing this game, so in a few months they release a more stable version with a new dlc and a few fixes, maybe u can wait and try that newer version instead, it´s free if u already had the game.
