Doom I Enhanced from GOG hangs with black screen

Per title. I've had perfect success with other early id software GOG releases through Heroic and, reportedly, Proton handles it well but, after launching, Doom I Enhanced is just a black screen. Are there any known workarounds?

Logs attached. Wine latest GE, Proton latest GE, and Proton-8.0 all produce black screen launches.

proton isn't going to give useful logs

this might be messing with it if you have multiple game prefixes pointing to there. switch it in the heroic settings to
/home/deck/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/Doom Enhanced
turn off game mode i don't know what 02f0:err:combase:RoGetActivationFactory Failed to find library for L"Windows.System.DispatcherQueue" would be referring to

No luck. Same 1000 lines of that error before closing. Thanks, regardless.
