Crashing on Startup (FIXED)
I couldn't even launch the game without it crashing immediately. Turns out it's the same issue that games like Remnant 2, RoboCop, and Lords of the Fallen have. It's basically what the Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) problems are. If you're running an Intel 13000 series processor, it's literally too fast for it to understand what to do.

Here's how I fixed it.

1) Install the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/17881/intel-extreme-tuning-utility-intel-xtu.html

2) Tune it down 2 or 3 steps from the default speed. My default was 56x so I set to 54x.

3) Launch game without issues.

It's stupid and terrible that we have to deal with this, but wanted to make sure I at least posted the fix I had. Good luck, nerds.

Remember, hesitation is defeat.

THIS WORKED. Thank you so much. My Performance Core Ratio was 57x by default. Dropped it to 55 and no problems in 2 hours of playing. I just got the game on the Steam sale, too and had the exact same problem. Thank you very much!

You're welcome! It's some bizarre issue with the 13900k processors. Now whenever a game crashes I try this first.

I have an i9-14900K for anyone reading this.
