riven (2024) loading issues

I just finished myst and now want to try out riven, but it runs insanely bad. I have 80 minutes gametime according to steam, but havent even played the game for 5 minutes, its load times are insane! there isnt even a progress bar so the game might have crashed for all i know. I got the game to load once and then it crashed almost immediately.

Is there some fix for this? Is this a common issue?
