The game worked fine on all versions of the graphics drivers on windows 7, however has since not worked on any graphics driver on windows 10 running intel hd 4600 graphics.
The game crashes on launch no matter what compatability mode I put it in. No change to the option ini have proved fruitful.
The games internal crash report:
