Your wine version is wrong. Wine LOL is only for league of legends. Use Wine-GE-Latest from heroic wine manager delete your prefix before starting the game after changing the wine version also if it assks you to install visual c++, say yes.. otherwise you will probably have to install vcrun 2019 via wine tricks.. but this is an unreal game so it should prompt you

Hi Allora, I removed the Wine LOL and installed the latest Wine GE but I don't know how to delete the wine prefix. Where do I go to do that? Sorry, I'm a total noob with Linux. Windows user all my life.

the wine prefix is noted in the log:
"winePrefix": "/home/deck/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries",
"winePrefix": "/home/deck/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries",
just deleting that folder should do the trick

Thanks again, Allora. It's working now. I installed MS visual C++ via winetricks to make it work.
