I have no idea if anyone is still having this problem but this solved it for me, I have the GOG version of the game

Since the 10th generation of Intel i-series processors, there is an error in the calculation of the OpenSSL instructions, which Intel describes more fully here:

Until this will be resolved, you might want to try to follow this safe workaround:

- Press WinKey+R to open Run window. In it paste:
SystemPropertiesAdvanced

Press Ok.


Next click on Environment Variables...


In the lower frame, System Variables, press New:



And in the fields, paste these values:
Variable Name:
OPENSSL_ia32cap
Variable value:
~0x20000000



Press Ok and close the Environment Variables window. Restart the computer. Try to run the game now.
