SOMA crashes on the opening cinematic.

[Kimaera]

Is there an error message that pops up when the game crashes?

No, no error message. The cinematic just freezes (audio and video), the game window becomes "Not Responding" and one of two things happen: it closes to the desktop, or it stays like that until I close the game manually from the Task Manager.

(I forgot to mention in my first post that I also tried to start the game in fullscreen, windowed and borderless mode, as well as in different resolutions; the outcome was still the same.)
