The Bluestacks team published an ‘official’ workaround to mitigate the problem. Apparently, the game must be installed from the Play Store using Bluestacks 5 Nougat 64-bit.

You can find all the process and necessary files on the Bluestacks support page.

The Bluestacks team officially confirmed that they are aware of the issue, and they are currently working on it. But, there is still no estimated date for the arrival of a fix.

Hi! Please be informed that this App is currently not working on emulators.
