Wine prefix created not respecting the WINEARCH environment variable

[ajhbh]

Describe the bug

In previous versions of Heroic (I think pre-2.3.0) one could set an environment variable on a game for WINEARCH=win32 and when the game was first run the wine prefix would be created as a 32-bit prefix. However it is not doing that anymore and is always creating a 64-bit prefix despite a WINEARCH=win32 environment variable being set.

After the prefix is created the environment variable is being respected as subsequent game runs are correctly giving an error log e.g. "wine: WINEARCH set to win32 but '/media/alexander/Twery/HeroicLibrary_m2/Winebottles/wine32test-RogueLegacy' is a 64-bit installation."

So the problem only appears to be when the wine prefix is created the environment variable is not respected. I know it was working to create 32-bit prefixes in previous versions as I had created them this way for a couple of games that are only working in wine 32-bit (e.g. Epic games versions of 'Rogue Legacy' and 'Salt and Sanctuary')

Can you download the beta to check if the problem is still there?

[ajhbh]

@flavioislima Yes, I have now tried the 2.4.0-beta AppImage and it is behaving the same. Environment variable of WINEARCH=win32 is set but the wine prefix being created is still win64.

I see this would be fixed with pull request #1568 :+1:

[ajhbh]

Confirmed this is fixed as of 2.4.0, so closing.
