Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with launching Metal Gear through GOG Galaxy. I'm attempting to open the game (with default settings), but when I try to open through the launcher (see attachment), a blank white screen appears with a second saying "Creating device failed". The game will open when clicking on the .exe directly, but it'd be nice to have it open easily through the launcher. Any help is appreciated!

PC Specs:

OS: Windows 10 64-bit, Version 20H2
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1400 @ 3.20 GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 480 4GB
Motherboard: MSI B350 Tomahawk
RAM: 2x8GB 3200MHz

GOG Galaxy is installed on my C: 500GB SSD, but the game is installed on my E: 1TB HDD. I'm assuming this wouldn't be an issue, but mentioning just in case!

idk if you're still looking for a fix, i got this same error and worked around it by just opening the game installation and running MetalGear.exe directly
