How can I fix the display resolution for apps in PlayCover? I am currently using two machines: a MacBook Pro (M1 Pro) and a Mac mini (M4), both connected to standard 4K monitors (set to a 2x scaling ratio). Although the settings for the games are identical, the app resolution varies between the two devices, causing my automation scripts to fail

Describe the solution you'd like

Is it possible to add a setting that spoofs device parameters, making the app believe it is running on a device with identical specifications? Currently, even though the graphics settings are mirrored across both machines, the rendering resolution remains inconsistent. Would this be a feasible way to lock the app's resolution?

Anything else?
