Skate Doesn't Work On Steam

When I launch the game from Steam, the Skate logo shows up, but then the window becomes unresponsive and then it gives me a "skate. has stopped working" popup. Now, when I go to verify the integrity of the files I then get a message saying "3 files failed to validate and will be reacquired." However, it seems like those 3 files never seem to be reacquired as the message always appears every time I verify the integrity of the files, which leads to the game always crashing upon startup.

A fresh install of the game doesn't seem to resolve anything either. Wiping my PC of any Skate related files doesn't seem to resolve anything either. I've downloaded the game on the Steam client and from Steam itself, so Idk what I could be doing wrong. The game on both the EA App & the Epic Games Launcher works completely fine btw.

My Steam client is up-to-date. My Windows 10 is up-to-date. My NVIDIA graphics drivers are up-to-date. Secure Boot is enabled on my PC. Not sure what I could be doing wrong.
