I've been having some trouble getting the game to start and some solutions that I have read are not helping.  The game currently opens to a black screen and then crashes to desktop seconds later.  I'm running the game through Steam, and on the logs, there is a critical error message saying, 'Access to the path 'Registry (2022_04_10 03_14_50 UTC).xml' is denied'.  I can open the registry through another program like VSCode or WordPad, so I don't believe it's being write protected or something.

I have Uninstalled and Reinstalled the game, updated Nvidia drivers, verified integrity games cache and deleted the user folder in documents. 

Hi, thank you for your report. 

We are really sorry that you are experiencing a crash. 

In order to be able to investigate further into this issue, can I ask you to upload your registry file and your diagnostics, please? Can you also try to move your registry file to another folder (or delete it if you don't care about losing your settings) and see if the issue persists? 

Thanks a lot and sorry again.
