Dead Island 2 (Epic Games) Freezes in main menu!

So i installed Heroic Launcher on Fedora Linux 42 KDE. My specs are nVidia 5070, Intel core Ultra 7, 32 GB DDR4 Ram. The settings i have enabled on Heroic are the default for the game. So i launcher the game, which it loads. It goes through the main intro and stuff then gets to this screen (1st image below) and freezes. Then, after a few seconds, the game crashes. I would like help please! Please ask for any information i may have missed!

Solution:

Please follow these instructions on using GE-Proton: 1. Head to the Wine Manager in Heroic, click the "GE-Proton" tab, and install "GE-Proton-Latest" 2. Head to the settings for your game(s) (icon on game card in library). In the "Wine Version" dropdown, select "Proton - GE-Proton-latest" 3. Rename your Wineprefix (path is shown in game settings), e.g. from current-name to current-name_bak. To clarify: Rename the actual folder on your hard drive, do not change the option in the game settings. Note: This will make game-specific configuration data (e.g. in-game settings or save files) unavailable. If this is an issue, let us know & we'll help you restore them.
