Describe the bug

After installing freebuff globally via npm, running the CLI causes an immediate crash with exit code 3221225501. The error indicates a missing AVX2 instruction set on an older CPU.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run npm install -g freebuff
  2. Run freebuff
  3. See error.

Expected behavior

Ideally, a fallback mechanism for older hardware, or providing a non-AVX build option for CPUs manufactured before 2013.

Environment Info

  • Platform: win32 x64
  • Node: v22.17.0
  • Binary Path: C:\Users\ADMIN\.config\manicode\freebuff.exe

Console Output

Download complete! Starting Freebuff...
❌ freebuff exited immediately (code 3221225501)
Your CPU may not support the required instruction set (AVX2).
This typically affects CPUs from before 2013.
Unfortunately, this binary is not compatible with your system.
