I'm in the same boat. Hopefully it's just a glitch that GOG can patch.

Did you guys install a widescreen patch? The game already includes one. When I added one from the wiki, I got the instant crash too.

Using only installer from gog.com.
Game crashed to desktop.

No issue to open if i copied the folder to a HDD.
Problem only happens if i open the game in SSD.

Anyone has the same problem with me?
How do i get logs to share?

Windows 10 installed in SSD (Nvme).
HDD is installed just recently for troubleshooting.

i installed RE: Make 2 in the same SSD. No issue to run.
