Right-click Wild Hearts.exe > properties > compatibility tab > uncheck “Run this program as an administrator” and press OK. Launch Wild Hearts, and it won’t crash at startup.

Another reason Wild Hearts is crashing at startup or failing to launch is the trial version. Right-click Wild Hearts in Steam library > Manage > Browse local files. A new window will open with game files, navigate to 00_games>target_origin>ex.
