I installed the game on a laptop and everything is fine on it.
In Windows / system32, there is also the file "dataexchange.dll". I copied this version of the game to a portable hard drive.
The game runs on this hard drive and I can play it if I use the laptop.
However, if I run the game with my computer. I have the same problem.
I also tried to delete the dll file ... it doesn't change anything
I restarted the computer several times in clean mode. We have the same problem.
I found someone on Reddit with the same symptoms but there is no follow-up to their post.
Do you have another idea?
disable the intel video card , unless you need it enabled ?
You both run 3080s with 496.49 , there is a hotfix driver released https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5253
otherwise testing an older driver version like 472.12 is worth checking
