Alan Wake 2 fails to launch

Fresh install of Heroic on Flatpak, fresh install of the game, fresh wineprefix on GE-Proton-latest with d3dcompiler_43, d3dcompiler_47, vcrun2022 and corefonts. The game tries to open, gives a warning about being installed on an HDD (even though it's actually on an SSD, but from looking at other posts here that seems to be normal) and then crashes - seemingly from an X11 protocol error. Log: https://0x0.st/87NT.log When using a fresh prefix with the same packages on GE-Proton8-32, the games launches far enough to get to the stage where it opens the Epic Overlay to verify its license, but the Epic Overlay crashes, seemingly because CEF can't find an OpenGL implementation to initialize a renderer with. Log: https://0x0.st/87NQ.log I can launch and get into the game on GE-Proton8-32 without using the Epic Overlay, but the overlay is required for the game to unlock DLC content so not really an option

well i'll be damned, that was in fact the issue didn't occur to me to check that, since i updated graphics drivers very recently so i just assumed it would already be on latest but hey, the more you know thanks!
