This error alone doesn't prevent download from completing. Please share whole log
That error can be ignored.
Watch Dogs 2 cannot be installed by Legendary (which we use to install epic games), it's one special case for the Ubisoft games.
You have to install through UbisoftConnect https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/wiki/How-to-install-Ubisoft-Connect-on-Linux-and-Mac#installing-option-1-standalone-launcher
Though I think UbisoftConnect does not works on MacOS, it needs some fixes from proton that I don't think are available in any wine/crossover on mac.

in that case it should be reported as "non-available" by Heroic
well... yeah, but it's... complicated, I know that's the case for that game because I tested it, but it's not something that comes with the game metadata to detect that programmaticaly and we don't want to hardcode that information in the code in case things change over time
it's a weird edge case (I know only of that game and I think it happens for Far Cry Primal from other reports but I don't own that game)
I do have a TODO item in my TODO list to do something about that, but there's always something else to do https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/issues/2432
if you mean that for ubisoft connect maybe not working on mac, it's something that's out of our control to detect, ubisoft connect could change or wine could change and it suddenly works
Closing since there's not much to do in this case.
#2432 would solve the underlaying problem and show instructions to the user
