#Steam Deck Workaround - game crashing at launch

Hello, the game refuses to start even after verifying the files.

However I got it to work by adding the games .exe (ProjectCoral.exe) as a separate none steam game.
Then choosing the latest proton version in the settings of the non steam version of the game and installed Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (Downloaded from Microsoft) to the game by changing the games path to the C++ installer and launching the game (Remember to change the path back). Then the game launched without problems.

It is very weird as the game doesnt give any error message, it just closes straight away.
Maybe it's missing Visual C++ on the steam version or something.

Anyways just wanted to let the devs and users know of this. It is pretty technical to do it this other way, but maybe it gives a hint as to what is going on with the Steam Deck.
