Why is this popping up whenever I tried to open the game and how do I fix this

Usually a problem like that is caused when your graphics card is too old or graphics drivers are out of date.

depending on your card and make sure you have your latest drivers.
You can also download their apps for auto-updates.
Maybe update your OS too, and if your OS isn't at least Windows 10, upgrade it entirely, since unfortunately Windows 7 and 8 (mainly 7 is unfortunate) aren't really properly supported anymore.
If that doesn't work, you can try re-downloading the game.
Finally, if all of that fails, you can make a shortcut for the game exe (ask google or chatgpt how to do this if you don't know how), and set the launch arg
-dx11, which will make your game try to use a legacy version of DirectX and Direct3D, which is what is erroring in that screenshot you sent.
