I don't remember running into this issue myself, but the error is clear enough that I'd know where to start. If there are environment variables set, remove them one by one until the game starts. If there are none set, or if step one didn't help, go into protondb and see what flags the others are using to get the game running.
Generally, when encountering any sort of issue, trying a different runner can also already solve the issues. It really is a hit or miss process, and in some cases, a game will simply not run at all.
