Since last Tuesday, I'm getting the same error (-2146697208) every time I try to boot the game. I'm playing the Steam version of the game on Windows 10.0.19045 if that is somehow related.

I tried various possible solutions I found online unsuccessfully, including: restarting PC & router, launching as admin, resetting internet settings, enabling all SSL/TSL settings, deleting all browser data and lastly uninstalling/reinstalling the game

I'm at my wits end and don't know what else I could try. Also, I would happily provide any additional information if necessary.
