Issues fixed
Crash on launch
- On some 64-bit systems the game will not launch, showing a brief black window possibly with a cryptic error 0xc000007b.[6]
- This will instruct the game to run in 32-bit mode even on a 64-bit platform, which should work just the same but bypasses the issue with incompatible 64-bit system libraries.
