Problem description

Some games, e.g. Death Stranding require AVX.

Rosetta supports AVX, but it doesn’t advertise it unless the environment variable ROSETTA_ADVERTISE_AVX is set, looking at the source code of Whisky.

Feature description

My idea is to add a button to set that environment variable when launching the game, which hopefully (I have no idea how Heroic launches games) will mean that it will also be set in the Rosetta Wine process.

Alternatives

We could also add instructions how to enable it in app. Some apps like Whisky have a build in button that sets it. However this is less user friendly.

Additional information

Inspired by this convo on Discord.

That would be nice to have for sure, but in the meantime you can set this manually in advanced settings.
