Spore Collection 3.1.0.22 GOG v2 (28 October 2025) not launching

Spore has just updated and has now been added to GOG's Preservation Program, so I updated right away after seeing the tweet https://fxtwitter.com/GOGcom/status/1983175739714191850 Some features were added:
- Added a GOG Configuration Tool that lets players easily adjust Max FPS (30, 60, or 120), change the game language, and select shader presets - Added Cloud Saves support to keep your progress safe and synced
I click on launch but it shows up nothing , I have tried enabling and disabling the automatic sync, tried to "verify and repair" but the issue still persists.

(12:30:30) [INFO]: Game Output: ============= End of log ============= same thing sadly after a cold boot: https://0x0.st/K_8o.log I uninstalled and erased the prefix through Heroic, I am at the moment downloading it and installing it again to see if it changes anything after reinstalling Heroic shows up the dropdown menu that it was supposed to display but it did not display the dropdown menu after simply updating the game

Also the changelog from the store says:
- Fully compatible with Windows 10 and 11
So I am checking it on winetricks right now I cannot launch winetricks GUI, so I cannot set it to Windows 10 or WIndows 11

Maybe the issue is with Protonfixes or Wine or both?
