Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/LiveContainer/LiveContainer/issues/309

Describe the issue

When running Balatro through LiveContainer the game will be in portrait mode but when in landscape mode it’s either a black screen or only half of the game will be visible on the right side of the screen (or where the dynamic island is since it doesn’t show on the opposite side). The game works fine when sideloaded with SideStore. The game also doesn’t does what other games does which is disabling the swiping up to exit and notification/control center unless invoked twice.

Instructions to reproduce

Launch the game, change device orientation to landscape.

What version of LiveContainer are you using?

3.2.0-Release (main/7ac835f)

Other

If needed the game is not the official IPA rather an IPA made using balatro-mobile-maker
which uses the game .exe however this doesn’t change the fact that it works fine when sideloaded with SideStore.

You can enable the orientation lock by Long press app -> settings -> orientation lock -> select landscape

This fixes the black screen issue, regarding the second one it seems like that game doesn’t act like a game even when sideloaded with SideStore so it just acts like a normal app rather than a game hence I’ll close this issue.
