Infinite loading screen upon the game start without having to full system cap CPU thread count
On a system with more than 8 processing CPU threads system to run game 1-time configuration and no full system cap[1] |

From the above guide and comments, I was able to fix the game crash after some trial-and-error. I have a new hybrid-core 12th gen cpu so I also set the "ProcessorCountLieForHybridCPU" to 16. For the tool: Search the web for adk-install (direct links might give old versions), look for "Download and install the Windows ADK", select the correct version for your operating system (Windows 10/11), ignore the PE download. Run the program and ONLY install the application compatibility toolkit. To apply the fix:
- Repeat the above 2 steps for ProcessorCountLieForHybridCPU if you have different types of processor cores (like Intel's E and P cores on 12th gen processors)
(*If any mistakes were made, simply go back to the entry under Applications for The Technomancer, right-click Technomancer.exe and "Edit application fix") - SAVE the database - either using the Max Payne guide's suggestions, or just save it as whatever and name it whatever you like. - Right-click the database you renamed earlier, and click INSTALL Now the game should run. As noted in the guide, the compatibility layer will be in the registry at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Custom
