Alas, this bug has been reintroduced in the Duskmourn Alchemy (v2024.42.0) update.
Furthermore, regardless of what height and width values I specify in the script now, my MTGA resolution is always displayed in 16:10 ratio. Using the Epic Games Launcher is a valid workaround though, as that correctly renders the app in 16:9 in my case.
