Are you able to launch the game as normal through Steam? The error log suggests Wine is trying to call the unimplemented function shell32.dll.SHGetFolderPathW, which can apparently happen if you have added an override for shell32; this shouldn't be done.

You could try removing the prefix directory at /home/tino/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1024650, relaunching the game and then trying to run Protontricks again, and see if that fixes the issue. Note that removing the prefix directory may remove your save files, settings and other game files aside from the game installation itself. Ensure they're backed up first if you need them.

Thank you very munch :-) removing the folder called "pfx" and relauching the game fixed the issue
