Quake wont' run on Steam

There was a major update to the original Quake game. I've played it many times on this computer but it won't load at all now. According to the Proton DB, it's Platinum, but for me it's Borked. I've tried multiple versions of Proton, the oldest I have listed as well as 6.3.6, which everyone says works. One person on ProtonDB said you need to add "+r_rhirenderfamily opengl" to the launch options, doesn't work for me though. When I click the Play button, the menu option comes up to Play Quake, Play Quake (Original) and 2 other options that are (Original) for the expansions. When I select the first option, it loads Microsoft VC Redist, then closes and nothing. When I choose the second (Original), it installs MS VC Redist, then a black box shows up (normally shows Quake) then vanishes and nothing. I upgraded my Nvidia driver to 470. Any help would be greatly appreciated.latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=-5Cd3zoKrTI:l5RuOIFkbjE:F7zBnMy latest?i=-5Cd3zoKrTI:l5RuOIFkbjE:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=-5Cd3zoKrTI:l5RuOIFkbjE:gIN9vFw-5Cd3zoKrTI
