Hello, everyone! After spending about an hour and a half trying to solve this issue I stumbled across a Reddit post from u/Glitch_100. Full credit to him for this one.
If you are encountering the crash on start referenced in the crash log as “Module ‘deploy\any\globals\common-rtx-new.module’ failed to load. Read error at file offset: 0x0 (err: 000003E5)” move the install directory to the same drive that Windows is installed on.
Forum user Cyber Viking429 mentioned that the below fixes worked for some users. They didn’t work for me but I figured I would also share them.

(Navigate to steamapps\common\MGS Test App 6\data\hardware, click on your GPU brand: NOTE you’ll be editing a file so you may need a third party program I use notepad++: push crtl+f, type in your GPU model ie “2060”, change the setting to Low, save the document and close.I hope this helps you or anyone else that may come across this reply.
