What does not

- Requires the Microsoft Windows version set to Microsoft Windows 10
- Requires a recent DXVK release (tested with DXVK 1.5)
- It shows a vcrun assertion error message. Click on "Ignore" here.
- The "Ignore" button only shows when the correct version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 is installed, otherwise there's no "Ignore" button and the game won't start

Additional Comments
It works, but requires some tinkering, but once the game is up and running it'll run pretty smooth and without problems.
