Paradox Launcher not found when launching Stellaris

Was trying to start up Stellaris and received the not-so-fun message in the screenshot about a valid installation of the Paradox Launcher not being found. I attached the game log from Heroic.

For context, the game is:
* from GOG
* native Linux version (no exe or Proton!)
* freshly installed

In poking at the issue, I discovered that the Paradox Launcher will run correctly in different cases.
What didn't work:
* Disabling GameMode in Heroic before starting via Heroic
* Setting
/home/chase/Games/Heroic/Stellaris/game/dowser
as alternative EXE in Heroic before starting via Heroic (wasn't entirely sure that feature made any difference for non-Proton games)
What did work:
* Directly executing
/home/chase/Games/Heroic/Stellaris/game/dowser
outside Heroic
* Directly executing
/home/chase/Games/Heroic/Stellaris/start.sh
outside Heroic

Hopefully that is helpful information. If there's anything else I can provide, please let me know!
