Even after I disable smartscreen and firewall, the patcher shows the play button right away. I don't know where it is blocked by, but we will have to wait for a fix.
Thanks to the devs for all the effort you're putting in!
I also have the missing libssl-1_1-x64.dll and libcryppto-1_1-x64.dll. Looked on the forums and online but can't find anything on it.
I downloaded the game without antivirus and placed everything in the correct folders.
