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:
just deleting that folder should do the trick

Dont hijack someone's thread, someone will help you if they have time or knowledge.

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