[SOLVED]Miside refuses to launch on steam on my 11" early 2014 mac air

I have attempted to run the game on proton 9.0-4 and this message shows up, "Failed to initialize graphics. Make sure you have DirectX 11 installed, have up to date drivers for your graphics card and have not disabled 3D acceleration in display settings. InitializeEngineGraphics failed" Even I made sure arch linux was fully updated. I also tried to run the game on proton experimental and hotfix and a loading screen will show up and after it ends the game exits. I'm not sure what else to do since I could run the game on windows 10 out of the box.

System:
Arch Linux
64-bit Version
Kernel Linux 6.17.7-arch1-1 x86_64
MATE 1.28.2

Hardware
Memory: 3.8GB
Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-4260U CPU @ 1.40GHz × 4
Graphics: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 5000 (HSW GT3)

System Status
Available Disk Space: 77.8 GB

Edit: I was able to launch miside by using this command in the launch options: PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
