Ah, UE4 games are usually packaged with OpenSSL for some reason, which causes issues for some folk. Feel like I heard a couple other UE4 games having this issue as well so at least I feel a little better about it not being a me thing, LOL. But if I ever do find a way to remove it from past, present and future games, I certainly will. At the moment, the only bandaid fix for this is to disconnect from the internet and launch the game.
