GTA 5 linux can't run
So today I wanted to install GTA 5 (I have the game through Epic). I installed it and when I tried to run it the rockstar launcher starts, but eventually errors saying that it can't find steam and that the steam client must be running (strange, since this is not even a steam game). After trying some stuff I eventually got the launcher running by switching to wine-ge in place of proton. However, now the launcher opens up, but it does not allow me to run the game, and only shows a button to buy the game. Any idea how to fix this?
I have attached the heroic last play log file in case someone finds it useful.

One thing I tried was creating a symlink to the game installation directory in the wine prefix of the game, hoping that the rockstar launcher might then be able to find it, however that did not help.

It launches now, thanks!
