Cookiie: Hey again, we have a response from GOG:
"This seems like the User has some firewall or other security software that causes the crash. This usually happens when a game tries to check for network devices or connect to something on the internet and is blocked in a specific way. Instead of receiving a response that network devices / internet is unavailable, the firewall gives no reply, the game doesn't know what to do and crashes as a result."
Seems like "if this service fails, proceed to play the game anyways" is missing somewhere."
So these could be two things:
1) Unity Engine analytics doing the check
2) Our bug report system, taking a look, but this shouldn't be it.
For now, please launch the game allowing internet and try disabling "Allow sending of game statistics" in-game settings menu. This SHOULD disable Unity Analytics. Then try it without firewall exception again. Please test if it helps.

Thank you for offering a temporary solution. It does not work because both options were already disabled before first start. Immediately after noticing that the game asks for access I checked the file
which can be found in C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Pathfinder Wrath Of The Righteous and both these options were already set to false. So I am afraid that this isn't a working solution to this problem.
Both meaning Allow sending of game statistics and Allow sending of saved games were disabled.
