Eve Online via Steam Fails to Start
I am running Bazzite 41, nvidia open stable, fastfetch image attached.
If you open Steam and download "Eve Online" and attempt to start it with any version of Proton (Proton 9, 10 Beta, ProtonGE 9-27, Experimental, etc.) it always results in waiting 5-10 seconds until the play button resorts back to "Play" as if the game crashes behind the scenes.
I had managed to get it working via Lutris as well, but I deleted it + game files due to wanting to get it running on Steam. After I found I could not get it working via Steam I tried Lutris again but it will not work there either (downloaded the launcher .exe manually from eveonline.com) regardless of what runtime version I attempt to use with it. The installer hangs with GE (Latest) the error along the lines of "ProtonFixes parent directory "/home/serfma/.config/protonfixes" does not exist. Abort." then hangs. I've given it 5-15 minutes to wait. It seemed to have an issue once I installed Mono but I believe I wiped all of the prefixes but still no go.

Solution
Updating to say it's due to the launcher version 1.10, widespread issue currently.
