This started happening after i updated from 2.5.0 to 2.5.2. I read the last line of the log and the game is not out of date, on epic games laucher the game opens normally

This is the problem actually, you've updated the game through the EGL while also having it imported in Heroic (if you would've used the EGL sync, this wouldn't have happened). Importing essentially means "I'm now playing this game exclusively through Heroic", while EGL-sync supports using both launchers at the same time The easiest way to fix this is by "uninstalling" the game (removing it from Heroic's database) & then using EGL sync. Open up a terminal (CMD or Powershell work) and run 
C:\Users\MY_USER\AppData\Local\Programs\heroic\resources\app.asar.unpacked\build\bin\win32\legendary uninstall --keep-files 9d2d0eb64d5c44529cece33fe2a46482
C:\Users\MY_USER\AppData\Local\Programs\heroic\resources\app.asar.unpacked\build\bin\win32\legendary egl-sync --enable-sync
C:\Users\MY_USER\AppData\Local\Programs\heroic\resources\app.asar.unpacked\build\bin\win32\legendary uninstall --keep-files 9d2d0eb64d5c44529cece33fe2a46482
C:\Users\MY_USER\AppData\Local\Programs\heroic\resources\app.asar.unpacked\build\bin\win32\legendary egl-sync --enable-sync
(note: those are two commands, Discord formatting might make it look different)

Thanks, the strange part is that i haven't used/opened epic games launcher before this issue started, but anyways, it works now !. Thanks for your time.
