Symptoms

The game presents an error message about missing Microsoft Virtual C++ Runtime and exits.

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.

Start with the attached steam-1194630.log and the Proton prefix-initialization path; the report says a fresh prefix fails to install the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime while protontricks vcrun2019 works. Reproduce by deleting the prefix and launching the game, then verify that a fresh prefix starts without the missing-runtime error.
