Wallpaper Engine - stuck with black screen on desktop

Hi,

Just installed Wallpaper Engine on Steam using Proton. I think one of the wallpapers broke the “KDE Wallpaper Engine” thing in settings, and now I’m stuck sitting at a black screen. I can log in and log out just fine with Ctrl + Alt + Delete, but once I’m in the desktop environment, it turns to a black screen on all my monitors and I can’t access anything, not even the Task Manager or System Monitor; I’m just left with a black screen and my cursor. Any way to boot into a safe mode to change the wallpaper back?
