I came looking for troubleshooting and only found disappointment. I will experiment and report back if I get it working.
Edit:
Found a way past the Hello Games screen but this isn't good news.
Followed instructions in this reddit thread:

Basically by emulating SSE4.1 we can determine the crashing is caused by a lack of SSE4.1 support.
If any of you are crashing after Hello Games appears, this may be the reason why. There isn't much you can do about it as the emulation makes it unplayable in terms of speed. You have to wait for Hello Games to add support for this.
I successfully loaded into the game but there was too much hitching and freezing to be an acceptable workaround.
