From epic freebies? I got it running by just installing vcrun via wine tricks button in heroic launcher. Steam games usually install these at first launch behind the scenes.

oh, most games need visual C runtimes nowadays.

i find that i have this sort of issue often with pirated games, sometimes they don’t automatically install those like Steam does, but its the same fix as Windows.

you can simply run the .exe installer for VC on the same prefix, exactly like you would do on windows, so not any harder at all.
