Therefore, it is recommended to make an upgrade to the Windows 10 operating system and enjoy interruption-free gaming.
Solution 7: Applying Appimage on Wine
If you are using Wine to run this game on Linux or any other Unix based OS, then you should be facing this issue due to an absence of the special wine patch and custom libc.

Make sure to adjust some variables such as your Game installation path before you try to run it.
