Click on one of those directories, press CMD + I, and then expand Name & Extension. Genshin Impact should be com.miHoYo.GenshinImpact and the Chinese version should be com.miHoYo.YuanShen. The two apps should point to their respective Containers, and PlayCover should be able to distinguish hem apart, as they have separate app ids.

Genshin Impact should be `com.miHoYo.GenshinImpact` and the Chinese version should be `com.miHoYo.YuanShen`. The two apps should point to their respective Containers, and PlayCover *should* be able to distinguish hem apart, as they have separate app ids.

Can you share a screenshot of what your ~/Applications/PlayCover folder looks like?
