Alan Wake 2 crashing on startup

AW2 Log: https://0x0.st/K2F6.log I am on a CachyOS system and, as should be in the log file, running on Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 32GB RAM and an RTX 4070 Ti. When I try to start Alan Wake 2 through Heroic, it stops telling me that there was a GPU fault causing the crash, see screenshot of the message. I do not have any over-/underclocking software installed and my packages are on the newest versions I can get. Starting the game right after a reboot does not help either, so there should not be any issues with any other GPU intensive applications. I am not using the flatpack version of Heroic and have double checked that i have all the dependencies installed. I installed the game on my system the first time like a week ago and it worked perfectly fine on first start but now it just won't do it anymore. I am at my wits end right now on what to do to try and fix this. Please let me know, if you need any other information about the crash or my system. :D

Thanks, but sadly that did not do the trick yet. I tried playing around with a few other options too but I still get the same error... https://0x0.st/K_rB.log

Thing is, it did something.

Got rid of these at least.

Now this part matters @CH4O7IC Do this Go to Games/Heroic/Prefixes/AlanWake2 Nuke it Then get back to Heroic UI, settings ( not game settings, client settings) , advanced, scroll there until you find Allow Valve Proton builds After that set game to run with Proton Experimental

I only have .../Prefixes/default/AW2 that good too? So it can configure itself afterward again?
