The game opens and the "Welcome to NVIDIA RTX Remix, Closing in 5" pop-up appears and the game crashes shortly after. NvRemixBridge.log attached.

Hello. Could you please re-test this with the latest release? Thank you!

Game now boots up correctly and works, requires D3D8 to 9 wrapper and is prone to crashing unless the "Videos" FMV folder is deleted, but otherwise, the original issue is now gone. Closed as solved.
