Describe the bug

I installed the NETFLIX version of Definitive Edition on my Mac Mini M1 and performance wise it runs perfect but for some reason PlayCover completely ignores settings set to the resolution. I want to play these games in 4:3 (Speedrun setup), but it just doesn't work. It always opens the application in 16:9.

Steps to reproduce

Install game, right-click on it, go to graphics, set resolution to 1080p and check "4:3" and start the game.
The game will still start in 16:9 mode.

Expected behaviour

The game should start in a 4:3 window state

Crash log

No response
