Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/PlayCover/PlayCover/issues/1915

Describe the bug

When I tried to open games not HSR and ZZZ, the app will appear on the bottom but will be immediately close and no prompt of the app not responding. If anyone can help, that would be great!

Steps to reproduce

Open playcover
Open the selected game (FGO, Uma Musume)
The app will appear on the bottom as if it is opening
The app immediately closing afterwards
No prompt to reopen the app

Expected behaviour

I would want the game I selected to work normally like HSR and ZZZ.

Crash log

What version of PlayCover are you using?

3.1.0

What version of macOS are you using?

Sonoma (macOS 14)

Issue Language

Yes my issue is written in English

I found a fix that worked for me:
Just turn of your wifi before opening the game on playcover, once it open and says internet required turn the wifi on and let it connect
After this my game has been running without issues

Make sure in the game settings of play cover you're not using upscale resolution below 1, that way it doesn't open.
Also try to reset app preferences and clear any data if you haven't downloaded any extra files via game. Then try to switch off your wifi and then open

i found a fix that works for me, just install the nightly version of playcover and reinstall the game that wasnt opening (in my case Wuthering Waves) and open it again. For me the game opens and runs normally without crashing.

For me the game opens and runs normally without crashing.我找到了一个适合我的修复程序，只需安装夜间版本的 Playcover 并重新安装无法打开的游戏（在我的例子中是呼啸波浪），然后再次打开它。对我来说，游戏打开并正常运行而不会崩溃。

why not just play app store's version
