Startup failure / Game crashes to the desktop

If the game The Sinking City won't start without an error, there are two solutions.

  • 1st solution: Start the game with disconnected internet/wifi/cable.

  • 2nd solution: If this works for you, there is another solution that will work without disconnect the internet. Since an OpenSSL version in connection with a 10th generation of Intel i-series processors (or newer) there is a bug, which has been solved, but some games contains the old version of OpenSSL.

Here is a safe workaround:

  1. Press WinKey+R to open the Run window. Paste in:
    SystemPropertiesAdvanced

  2. Click on: Environment Variables

  3. Press New in the lower frame: System Variables

  4. Paste these values in the fields:
    Variable Name: OPENSSL_ia32cap
    Variable value: ~0x20000000

  5. Press Ok and close the windows. Restart the computer and try the game again.

If you still have issues with the game crashing at launch and you bought the deluxe version, try blocking the executable in this folder in the firewall. Blocking the normal .exe didn't fix my issue, but blocking this .exe did fix my issue with the game crashing at launch. This will be the path where you installed the game.
\The Sinking City Deluxe Edition\TSCGame\Binaries\Win64\TSCGame-Win64-Shipping.exe

Same thing here, you can run the following command in an Admin Command Prompt session to do this:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Sinking City" dir=out action=block program="INSTALL PATH\The Sinking City\TSCGame\Binaries\Win64\TSCGame-Win64-Shipping.exe" enable=yes
