Describe the bug

Vertical games do not display properly when the resolution is set to anything other than "Default" from the graphics settings.

Steps to reproduce

You can check by installing the application on PlayCover (2.0.4) and following the steps below.

  1. confirm activation of normal settings
    Start up without modifying the graphics settings.
    The application starts up in iPad resolution and can be played without any problems.

  2. exit the application and change the graphics settings
    First, exit the application that was normally launched.
    Then open the application settings and go to the graphics settings.
    Select anything other than "Default" from the resolution settings.

*Auto, 1080p, 4K, or custom. Any of these is acceptable.
*Enter a value that matches the monitor resolution to finalize the resolution setting.

  1. When start the application, a window with a corrupted display opens.
    When the application is launched, the window resizes but is not displayed correctly.
    The game screen is stretched horizontally and much of the screen extends outside the window.

PlayCover 2.0.4
PlayCover 2 0 4

PlayCover2.0.0
PlayCover 2 0 0

Expected behaviour

The application display should conform to the window size.
*Displayed correctly in PlayCover (2.0.0)
 There seems to be a problem with the changes made in the most recent update.

Could potentially be fixed with https://github.com/PlayCover/PlayTools/pull/77, but is still a work in progress.

I checked the latest nightly build and the problem has been resolved.
I sincerely hope this applies to mainstream.

I found a fix for me to display the content by changing the resolution to 9:16 ratio, but the touches are all wrong. Can someone help me?
