Game does not start

Game does not start. Just nothing happens after pressing Play.
I Have tried checking integrity, uninstalling/installing, turning off antivirus. Did not help.

Hey! Am I correct in understanding that Steam does not start the game?
I would use your pc specs to try and help you

[nikcha1313]

Yes, you are correct.
11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700KF @ 3.60GHz, 32.0 GB, Nvidia RTX 3070, Windows 10 Home 64-bit

Same here, but in a laptop with i5-11400h 16 GB, 3060, Windows 10 Home 64-bit. I recently bought the game and want to start, but it just diint start...

I had the same problem and it seems that it is related o some old OpenSSL bug:

Setting OPENSSL_ia32cap enviroment variable to ~0x20000000 helped in my case. To do that open command prompt and execute:

setx OPENSSL_ia32cap ~0x20000000

Or search in Start Menu "environment variables" and then "Edit environment variables" -> "New..." -> variable name - "OPENSSL_ia32cap", value - "~0x20000000"

So, i have randomly decided to try it again and now it works.
Not sure if it was an update or smth else, but it started working now.

OPENSSL_ia32cap=0x20000000 fixed the game for me on i5-11400H
