[macOS] Hogwarts Legacy missing visual C++ runtime

Trying to run Hogwarts Legacy on macOS via Heroic with Wine set to GPTK Latest. I installed vcrun2022 in Winetricks but still get a missing Microsoft Visual C++ runtime error. Do I need to run vc_redist.x64.exe manually in the prefix?

you can try, it's faster than asking you can check https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/wiki/Installing-Visual-C---Runtime#mac for different ways to install the vc runtime

adding overrides for msvcp140 msvcp140_1 msvcp140_2 vcruntime140 vcruntime140_1 might fix this issue. never had an issue with HWL, tho i dont use GPTK.

Ok, when I said that I installed vcrun via winetricks I was wrong -- it didn't actually install it due to missing cabextract on mac. Installed that with brew and the game works (at least it launches).
