Evil Within Will Not Launch

I attempt to launch The Evil Within through Heroic in my Epic Games library and it fails to launch. There is no error message but I notice it briefly flashes a terminal window for a second and then it closes.

I was able to get it working by following the steps below from another thread for Evil Within 2. Latest version of Wine GE Proton worked for me and I ran from desktop mode the first time. It opened a browser and Epic Games Store prompted me to allow The Evil Within, then the game launched. "make sure you use heroic 2.9.2, use latest Wine-GE-Proton, try on desktop mode first, the game should just work out of the box on the steam deck (I tried it last night without any tweaking)"
