I am trying to figure out how to fix some issues I have been having with heroic games launcher, every-time I have to use the files chooser for example setting a wine prefix or selecting an executable the entire app freezes. I am not totally sure how to fix this.

If it's the flatpak version, try the package manager one. The one on flathub didn't integrate very well and only really worked for steam games.

Does it freeze or does it do nothing at all when you click the file chooser?

It's after I select a file, complete freeze after that

Probably not a solution to your problem but I think Lutris can do everything Heroic can?

Lutris is having the same issues for some reason

What's your DE? You can select your prefered file picker with an env flag. I'm in kde and somehow it defaults to gnome picker by default. Maybe it's the same for you and you don't have the gnome packages and it hangs? You can also run heroic from the console and see if it outputs any useful info when hanging.
