Resolution change killed the game

Hi Everyone

a few days ago when I was playing with the settings I accidentally set a resolution value higher than 1920x1080 and now all 3 games crash with a fatal error message

Assertion failure at SDL_GL_GetDrawableSize_REAL (/Users/travis/build/OpenRA/OpenRALauncherOSX/SDL2-2.0.12/src/video/SDL_video.c:3589), triggered 1 time:
'window && window->magic == &_this->window_magic'


I already deleted the 3 game files and reinstalled but it still wont work, I'm one of those "mac" gamers and cant seem to find any other game related files anywhere on my system yet the settings remain.

has anyone got a workaround for this ?

thank you.

Open a finder window then select the menu option Go -> Go To Folder... (or use the hotkey Cmd + Shift + G).

Enter "~/Library/Application Support/OpenRA/" (without the quotes) into the text field and press Go.

Delete the file settings.yaml and try starting one of the games.
