Don’t use Proton. Especially don’t use Proton Experimental
Delete the prefix, use Wine-GE instead

Ah ok I found a workaround which is to launch the game.exe instead of the launcher
works great

Can you provide any details? Specifically the filename? Also config settings needed? I'm trying what I think is the .exe file and nothing happens. Or it asks me what program to open it with.
edit: also, from the desktop, launching from the Heroic launder, the game launcher does pop up, but when launching the game it says "installation not found"
If anyone is able to provide specific steps start to finish, that would be greatly appreciated. Can't find anywhere online, pretty much just, Install in Heroic via GOG and you're good to go! Not my experience 😦
