Can also confirm same problem on a
But now I receive an Apple failure report after the game crashed: |

is this something that happens for every native mac game? or is it game-specific? because maybe it's not a heroic bug but some incompatibility between what the game uses and what rosetta can emulate |
|
I had that at least with 7 native macos games (Nerver Alone, Syberia, Resonance, Secret Files: Sam Peter, Her Story, Kathy Rain - Director's Cut, Röki). The only exception that I'm aware of is Drova - Forsaken Kin but as it's quite a recent title I assume it's just compatible with arm architecture. And as I mentioned: The games start with rosetta, when I start them from Finder (after checking "Open with Rosetta" in their Informations window) instead of HGL. Only if I start them with HGL there's no way to make them work. |

Describe the bug
I reported the problem on Discord before: https://discord.com/channels/812703221789097985/1319230594995064832
When I start a native MacOS game on my Apple Silicon Chip based MacBook games that depend on the x86_64 architecture won't start but get stuck e.g. while the loading screen appears.
When I test the game by starting from the filemanager the same happens until I check the Rosetta-Box in the Informations-menu of the app (game). Then all the tested games worked flawlessly. Also starting the game with the prefix
arch -x86_64lead to a perfectly starting game.As far as I remember HGL used to start native MacOS games with Rosetta automatically when needed before, right?
For me it would suffice if there was a checkbox to choose if I want to use Rosetta for starting a game in it's preferences in HGL. But at the moment I see no way to start those games successfully with HGL or am I just missing s.th.?

Steps to reproduce

A x86_64 dependent game should be started with Rosetta also when I start it from HGL.

Additional information
I know that I can also install those games' Windows version which might also be less outdated than the nativ MacOS version. But still: If users get the (default) opportunity to install a game natively the easy solution to activate Rosetta for those games should actually be possible and easy to use.
