When I try to launch the game I get the quick drum sound, a window opens and closes real quick. That's all. A second later the launcher closes.
The launcher log says, "Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel."
I made sure my internet options for "Use SSL" and "Use TLS 1.x" are all checked.
I also made an exception in Windows Defender for the game folder.

I'd really appreciate if you could help me get this working.
