Cannot get beyond "Known Bad CPU "

According to many users, when you click "No" to the warning message, the game should load. But mine doesn't even attempt to load. It instantly closes and goes back to the launcher when I click "No" (or if I click Yes, or hit the X).

Intel released an update in December 2024 that's intended to address the known issues. I have that update installed. I've also gone through and applied all recommended settings from Intel regarding the known issue. Basically, it limits the voltage so that it cannot harm the CPU.

However, even with all these changes, I cannot launch the game. It just closes instantly.

Here are my specs:
OS Name Microsoft Windows 11 Home
Version 10.0.26100 Build 26100
System Manufacturer ASUS
System Type x64-based PC
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900KF, 3200 Mhz, 24 Core(s), 32 Logical Processor(s)
BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc. 1801, 11/30/2024
SMBIOS Version 3.5
Embedded Controller Version 255.255
BIOS Mode UEFI
BaseBoard Manufacturer ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
BaseBoard Product ROG STRIX Z790-A GAMING WIFI II
BaseBoard Version Rev 1.xx
Platform Role Desktop
Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 48.0 GB
Total Physical Memory 47.8 GB
GPU NVIDIA RTX 4080 16 GB

The BIOS settings I've changed are as follows:
Unlimited ICCMAX: Disabled
CPU Core/Cache Current Limit Max: 307
Long Duration Package Power Limit: 253
Short Duration Package Power Limit: 253
TVB Voltage Optimizations: Enabled
Enhanced TVB: Enabled
CPU C-states: Enabled

Updating the BIOS and making these changes are the only fixes I can find for the issue. There are a few other posts suggesting that these types of changes (adjusting voltage via the bios) fixes the issue for others.

What am I still missing?
