Long time didn't played this game, maybe used different hardware and OS, but now it crash if I launching from Galaxy. Otherwise working and launching fine. Seems no way to turn off Galaxy features, like overlay, since it's greyed out already.
So far I didn't found a solution for it, expect launching simply from start menu/shortcut and not use Galaxy. Personally the only reason I use Galaxy to track playtime, save game saves to cloud (if supported) and do achievements.

Far as I know because the TAGES DRM the Steam or any other version doesn't work.

I had this issue. I just added it to Steam and launch it from there with no problem.

EDIT: If you absolutely want to keep using Galaxy, I found a simple solution, don't know if it tracks the time though.

Within Galaxy in the game click on the top right settings menu next to the play button.
Click on "Manage Installation" > Configure...
Click on the "Features" tab
Click on Launch Parameters: Custom executables / arguments
The very first executable is marked as the "Default executable". Click on the "duplicate" button right below that.
Don't change anything on the duplicate but select it as the default executable. Click OK.
If you press the play button it should now play with no issues.

It works, thanks! I also send the issue and error message to support. At least they know about the issue.

Thx much for above. Are you on W11? If yes, which version? I am on W11 25/H2 and cannot start the game :(
I do get a "Starbreeze CCException"…. With a message "could not find debug font! FONTS/MONOPRO.xfc

It is annoying…. Still issues to start the game. Could you fix your problem?
Best
Meanwhile, due to unknown reason, I can start the game quite reliably AFTER my W11 runs for 1 or 2 hours… no clue why…..
Hi!! Ihave the Same Error Message with win 11 25 H2 ..i wann play it after alll that years again and now that..
someone has a fix for that?
Well the Problems seem to be the newest Nvidia Drivers.. In another Forum someone told that Driver 581.80 works perfectly...

I have no idea how to told Nvidia about that Problem
