Epic Games "The Messenger" refuses to work

So I downloaded the game, everything seemed fine, but for some reason it just does'nt work, no matter which proton version I use. When launch it without ticking forcibly apply steam compatibility, it just opens and stays with a black screen. When I do tick that in settings, it just crushes no matter what. i'm not nearly tech-proficient enough to figure out what's wrong. Can someone please help me? Here's the log

don't use proton, download wine-ge from the heroic wine manager and change which version of wine this game is using also, please use a version that's newer than 8, not a version as old as 5

Thanks! I kinda solved it by seeing a comment for another game, I downloaded Wine-GE-Latest and it works without issue Didn't work for my different problem, I will make a separate post for it, I guess
