It's all up to date. My other games run fine, it's just this one that's having problems.

it can't be up to date... you are on mesa 23.1.6 and mesa 23.1.6 has major bugs so it's best to get off of it maybe you just have to restart heroic

Don't know what the location property we use for but this is still pointing to proton prefix. That does seem like a bug

I finished installing the game with Lutris and it's working that way.

plot twist all it needs is MSVC2019_x64 it's possible to reevaluate it in game settings but I agree, doing so automatically is good idea
