For me the game crashed after "Start New Game" from the launcher. I found a Steam discussion with a fix: https://steamcommunity.com/app/904540/discussions/0/2965021152090343105/
However, that breaks controller support. I've found downloading dinput.dll from here: https://github.com/elishacloud/dinputto8/releases and placing it in Infernal Machine\Resource worked for me. At least with v1.0.54.0.
