Thank you, using that and an extra guide to properly install DirectX End User Runtime like the install instructions say on the game's page (guide being https://www.dedoimedo.com/games/wine-directx.html for anyone else also having trouble with this, for the link in the guide with the ddl list use the wayback machine otherwise it's a blank page) i finally got the game working on wine instead of having to use proton, i can now finally enjoy this game on linux!
