They will immediately error out, anything 1080p or lower downloads fine, any workarounds or settings I should change?

May we assume that your browser is not Firefox, and/or that your versions are old?
When I tried, I got the following results.
2K Video Demo

2304x1440 ordinary download and side download
Both download, and give what seems like an ok soundfile, and an image that does not run (the video stands still at 00:04, but the sound runs as it should, AFAIU). (I suppose that that is an error, and that it would run as a video if all were well.)

Edit: I'm obviously not awake yet... Since some of your yt downloads work, obviously you problably are using Firefox. My guess about your versions might still be valid though.
