Short summary of your issue [1.0.2] Game not launching

Game Version 1.0.2

What OS are you playing on?
Windows

What platform are you using?
Steam

Do you have mods enabled? No

Have you tried verifying your game files (Steam only)?
Yes

How much "pain" is this causing you?
10

Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
Upon pressing the "Play" button in launcher a message box with text "Failed creating render backend" fires, and the game doesn't launch.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
Try to launch the game on Windows 10, wait a bit, then press "Play".

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?
DX11 is claimed to be installed by apps that check it but, judging by the log (attached), the game doesn't see it.
EDIT: Seems to be the same issue as here; also seems to be amplified by some problems with Steam installing Visual C++ distributable.
