Returnal won't start

Hi there, I installed Returnal from Epic through Heroic, but it will not start. I tried several different Proton versions, but none of them work for me. Other games from the Epic store work fine. I tried several fixes mentioned on ProtonDB (forcing dx11, disabling fsync/esync, using gamemode). Heroic is not installed as a flatpack and I checked if I had all the necessary dependencies installed. Also: Thanks Discord that searching for "Returnal" lists every post containing "return" and not prividing a way to search for literal terms šŸ™ Logs: https://0x0.st/8FDX.log
