Game won't even start
I just bought this game to play with friends the other day and Whenever I click 'play' it starts to load with the EAC screen and then nothing else happens. Its like the game just auto force stops on its own. I have tried everything between validating files, deleting the files, and redownloading the game, 'run as administrator' and nothing....please help me cuz I really want to play this game...also on another note, my friend can load it up fine and we both have similar specs except he has a gaming laptop and mine is a gaming tower. My specs are: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-13600KF 3.50 GHz 16GB RAM 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor....any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated thanks

Here Ill just post it for you ---I was having this game and also Battlefleet Gothic Armada 2 crashing after about 30 seconds in the exact same manner and I found out this is an issue with all Unreal 4 games when using a new Intel CPU and has something to do with OpenSSL (I don't personally know what, but I know how to fix it)

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.
Step 9. Restart your PC

I just decided to do step by step what he said here and it actually worked! Seems to have something to do with the CPU, to new and cool

I did find that post as well and I did try the same steps but this sadly did not work at all. I can give it another try but I may have to end up just getting a refund for the game :/

It should work. However, it may negatively impact other games but for very specific things. For example, in Rust if you click on the link for a server (for their website, discord, etc.), the game will stall for a few minutes and/or crash.

Easy Anti Cheat and antivirus programs don't always work well together either. I had to tell Norton to ignore it. It could be something as simple as that.

Yeah, but if it was, something would say that somewhere's wouldn't it? I'm tired of seeing how many people say this, stop

See the following for more info on the bug:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/troubleshooting/openssl-sha-crash-bug-requires-application-update.html

You can also simply edit properties on the game and set the following launch options:
cmd /c "set OPENSSL_ia32cap=:~0x20000000 && %command%"
