Save Content Directory for Core Options does not save if you return to the same game immediately

Is there an existing issue for this?

• This is a bug in RetroArch frontend
• I have searched the existing issues

Description

When you modify parameters in Core Options for a game then go to Manage Core Options and Save Content Directory then exit out of RetroArch. The the saved settings will not save properly or show up properly if you immediately relaunch the same game. It will only show the saved settings properly once you selected another game in the same directory.

The settings might actually been saved, but visually on user interface it still shows the default original settings before the change.

Expected behavior

Once you saved content directory in core options. It should retain the actual settings even if you exit out of RetroArch and return to the same game immediately.

1. Load a game
2. Go to core options
3. Change a video setting
4. Go to manage core options
5. Save Content Directory
6. Exit out of RetroArch
7. Return and run the same game again
8. The video settings will show as unchanged
