Need help using Zink on Heroic
Long story short, all recent amnesia games are unplayable on my laptop due to a driver bug that causes severe visual glitches. Frictional games' engine uses opengl, no options for other apis. The fix for the glitches is using Zink, which translates opengl to vulkan and fixes the glitches in the process. On steam, I do this using steamtinkerlaunch. That's not an option on heroic as far as I know, and I wasn't able to find any good info on the internet about how to get Zink working outside of steam or native apps.
TL;DR: how do I go about enabling the Zink wrapper for games installed from epic?

add this environment variable: MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink
you can use this on steam as well
instead of using steamtinkerlaunch

Seeing some strange performance issues when doing this. There was almost no performance loss when doing this on the bunker, but it brings rebirth to a crawl. Is there any configuration that tinkerlaunch might be doing that we aren't?
