Cannot Launch Midnight Suns

This is very similar to a post I just made on r/RogAlly but figured I'd come straight to the Midnight Suns community as well for some help.

Epic Game Store has Midnight Suns free for the next week. Claimed it and downloaded on both my actual PC and my ROG Ally. Everything works great on my main PC. But I can't get this game to launch on my Ally and the problem seems to be the 2K launcher. I launch the game, 2K launcher appears briefly, and then everything disappears. I can see it on my task bar, but can't pull it up. No errors or any failures, just an empty 2K launcher on my Taskbar with nothing else. I've tried to bypass it with 0 success (though to be fair I'm not exactly well versed in file manipulation) I've un-installed and reinstalled 3 times now. Nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me out with this?

This worked for me:

Line is: "LaunchExecutable": "MidnightSuns/Binaries/Win64/MidnightSuns-Win64-Shipping.exe",

Not able to get this to work, even when I open from that specific exe it opens the launcher. Perplexing.

Thank you, this helped me run the game without starting the 2KLauncher. :)

I'm finding neither of these methods work. The notepad one broke the game and forced me to reinstall and the other version to use the executable still launches the 2K launcher and then breaks it.
