Describe the bug

The aspect ratio of application isn't changing regardless of what setting has been chosen.

In the screenshots below, I have 16:10 aspect ratio selected but the game still opens in 16:9
Screenshot 2024-07-02 at 17 26 55

[I'm using macOS Sequoia Beta 2, might be related]

Additionally, I would also like to add that when games are installed for the first time, the detected aspect ratio is always 16:9, regardless of whether the screen is 16:10. This buy has persisted through earlier versions of PlayCover without being fixed(refer to #1113

Edit: Upon further inspection, it seems that no graphic related setting is taking effect.

Steps to reproduce

Open app settings
Change the aspect ratio

Expected behaviour

Aspect ratio should change according to the setting

Crash log

NA

3.0.0

Exactly the same problem. I tried to change the aspect ratio of another game, and I could change it from 16:10 to 16:9, but it doesn't want to return from 16:9.

MacOS Sonoma (14).
Playcover 3.0.0.

Experiencing the same issue on M2 MacBook Pro, macOS Sonoma 14.6.1. I uninstalled PlayCover, removed all games, and cleared out the remaining files, but PlayCover permissions still show up in the System settings. I tried reinstalling PlayCover 3.0.0 (793) from the GitHub release, but the problem persists. I can’t completely remove the old configurations, and I can’t set up new ones either. I’m not sure how to do a clean install without the old configs or permissions.
