Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error - "Empire of Ants"

I installed the game "Empire of Ants" over Steam. It is a new game which runs with DirectX Version 12 and thus should be playable with my understanding.

When starting however there comes the following error:

The following component(s) are required to run this program:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime

I checked the bottle settings and I have installed "Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2015-2022 Redistributlable (x86) - 14.40.33810

Is there anything else I need to install?
Thanks so much for helping!

I'm also having the same issue with another game, I haven't found a solution for my CrossOver install on macOS but on my Steam Deck I used protontricks and installed the latest Visual C++ Redistributable from Microsoft's website and that worked on the Steam Deck. I just can't get it to work on CrossOver
