Locate the game in your library and right click.In the contextual menu that appears, locate the launch options section.Simply add
-opengl
to this section and exit.At this point, the game should launch. Keep in mind, there may be other issues beyond the scope of the guide that prevent the game from launching but this is what worked for me :)

When the game launchs, everything may have a white "veil", which was fixed by setting the shadow and visual quality to low in the in-game visuals menu.
