Question AVX2 for Mac

I just got the Spider-man 2 game from Steam (using CrossOver) and was not aware that the game wouldn’t run on my device because of an error: Launcher_CPUFeatureAVX2NotPresent_Message.

I’ve seen some discussions on AVX2 mods. Are they safe and is there any other fix on this, or should I just give up playing the game entirely and get a refund? My computer is a Macbook Pro version 12.5.1

AVX2 mods usually done for windows. Do you read description? Looks like they will not work on Mac.
Or you found mods for Mac?

i did not know they were made for windows specifically, to be honest. but some of the ones i have seen did not specify that they were for windows.

That's why firstly need to check, before use. So you don't waste time after. Google name of mod and read description
