Depends upon what you mean about your specs. Until I bought a new computer last year, my desktop from 2013 played this with no problem.
But it does take time to load and run because it is preloading a lot of things before the application starts up. The older the computer and the less robust, the longer it takes. And for some computers, it does just crash, eventually. Did you look at your Task Manager after the splash screen disappears to see if the application is no longer listed - or if it is still just sitting there (either still slowly churning away or stalled)?
