Mafia 3 Definitive Edition Crashing when starting

[u/cacagros]

Hello everyone. I purchased Mafia 3 Definitive Edition a while back (more than a year), and I already finished it. I wanted to play again and I installed the game, but when it starts, in the countdown it gets to either 1 (few times it was 0) and it freezes. I am playing it on Steam. If I first start the launcher, I get a message that my PC doesn't meet the minimum requirements to play this game so the gameplay might be affected. In options, I have selected by default some Intel Graphics card, I switched to Nvidia one, and if I close it and open it again, it still selects the intel one. I tried disabling Intel graphics from device manager but it didn't solve the problem.
I reinstalled the game for 3-4 times but the issue persists.

Has anyone else had these issues? And if yes, did you manage to fix it?
Thank you in advance for any help that might solve the issue.
