Hello, I bought the game the other day but unfortunately I hit the following error every time I try to launch it:

"R_ASSERT( Havok Error (id 0xf03454fe)
Memory\System\FreeList\hkFreeListMemorySystem.cpp (100): Too many threads )
File: Memory\System\FreeList\hkFreeListMemorySystem.cpp
Line: 100
Reason: Too many threads"

I suspect this is happening due to my CPU, an AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX (32 cores), which certainly has a very large number of CPU cores :) I see that someone else mentioned having this issue back in 2016 in the crashes on startup thread, but unfortunately they never followed up on a potential fix.

After some Googling, I found this forum thread where a Linuxer was able to launch the game after disabling some cores on their CPU: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/topic/3569/, which makes sense to me based on the error message. However, I've tried to use Process Lasso to set the thread affinity and the number of cores than can execute Quantum Break down to various numbers (32, 16, 8, even just 1), but I'm still getting the popups every single time :(

Has anyone encountered this problem before? Is there a known fix or workaround?
