sounds like a connectivity issue (maybe a firewall or something being too strict?)
you can use other tools like protonup-qt https://davidotek.github.io/protonup-qt/ and heroic can use the ones installed with it too
ProtonUp-Qt
Install and manage Proton-GE and Luxtorpeda for Steam and Wine-GE for Lutris with this graphical user interface. Based on AUNaseef's ProtonUp, made with Python 3 and Qt 6.

I installed it but I don't know how to use it, can you teach me please

does in the directory showed Heroic Wine or Heroic Proton? If so you could just add version and choose whatever wine version you want to choose. If not you could create a custom directory and tell Heroic to use that directory

I don't use it, but there's a bunch of tutorials an videos about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_67DffZ_gOQ

you could try download proton-ge if you wish to use proton ge
and then set the default settings in the Settings -> Game Defaults for game to use that version

I just managed to install a version of Proton through Heroic but I put it in the game defaults and nothing changes, I start the game and it doesn't run, I go into the game settings and the option to put Proton or Wine doesn't appear

the game defaults affects only new games, for games that are already installed you have to change the settings of the game itself
click the settings icon of the game and a game-specific dialog will show up

I got it from a pirated site but it worked normally a few days ago I'm afraid of saying the name of the site and getting banned
We cannot help you with pirated/cracked/etc. games, as it is against the Discord ToS and our server rules & personal morals

I'm sorry, I hadn't seen that, I'll be careful so it doesn't happen again
But I still want to thank you two for trying to help me
