I'm currently trying to get Transistor to run.
EndeavourOS, Nvidia gpu, and I have the Windows version that was free on Epic that one time, so ideally I'd like to run it through Heroic.

Quick blackscreen with the game trying to launch, and then it crashes back to desktop.

Did anyone get it to run recently? Any other ideas I might've missed?
