This is caused by the fact that all non steam games have the same AppID. So in order for them to fix this issue they would have to fix that.

I'm not sure, this worked at one point for me. I could have one non-steam app to output to 1080p while all others were output at the default 800p.

This appears to have been worked around in Beta 1676680477 (Feb 17 Beta), however it was not advertised in the release notes. Anyone else confirm this?
