This happens with Proton Experimental [Bleeding Edge], 7.0-5 and 6.3-8 for me (always with a fresh prefix), accoridng to ProtonDB, it should work out of the box. Installing vcrun2019 with protontricks makes it work, so it seems Proton fails to install the runtime on prefix intialisation.

Reproduction

Delete the prefix and start the game.

System Information

  • GPU: AMD RX 5700
  • Driver/LLVM version: Mesa 22.2.3
  • Kernel version: 6.0.12-300.fc37.x86_64
  • Proton version: experimental-bleeding-edge-7.0-31663-20221221

I can confirm that as of recent update v1.0 to the game, the game does not launch without installing Microsoft Virtual C++ Runtime (protontricks 1194630 vcrun2019)

Logs of launching with and without the workaround:

Same problem as with Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan #3024 that also received an update recently
