Can't get the game to start on Steam Deck

I wasn't able to get the game to start at all on the Steam Deck. It begins to start, shows the Steam logo and then goes to black, but then after a second or so it exits and sends me back in to Steam.

Anyone have a suggestion for how to get it to work on the Deck?

Much appreciated!

Ever figure this one out?

@Zoopy, No unfortunately I wasn't able to get it to run. I finally installed Windows on an SD card to be able to run a few other things I was unable to get to start under Proton (I'm looking at you Kingdom Hearts), but this game won't detect the screen rotation correctly and so is locked to portrait resolutions (like 600x800).

I guess this is one that we just aren't destined to play on the Deck :(.

I'm resurrecting this thread after a year to say that this game STILL does not work on the Steam Deck. Even under the most recent versions of Proton and ProtonGE, it refuses to launch. It's a shame because I think this would have been quite enjoyable on a handheld console, in the same way that I've enjoyed playing Dead Space and Alien: Isolation in the dark in my bedroom with headphones. I would definitely have liked to put it near the front of my backlog of titles that I'm working through on the Deck.

Camel101, will the Steam Deck will ever get any love?
