Linux Full-Screen Starts in Windowed Mode

[jagdpanther]

I have Pillars of Eternity (2.01 - Linux - GOG) configured to start in full-screen mode at my monitor native resolution of 1920x1200.  About 70% of the time Pillars of Eternity starts in windowed mode. (At 1920x1200 this means some of the bottom is cut off due to the window frame.)

 

A quick fix that works every time is to enter the Pillars of Eternity graphics configuration window, un-check the full screen box, hit apply, then re-check full screen box and hit apply again:  Now in full-screen mode.

 

All other graphics work without issue.

 

Attached is Player.log from

 

~/.config/unity3d/Obsidian Entertainment/Pillars of Eternity

My  "quick fix" was not written correctly.  I should have wrote:

A quick fix that works every time is to enter the Pillars of Eternity graphics configuration window, leave the full-screen box checked, select another resolution then click on 'Apply'.  Then switch the resolution back to 1920x1200 and press 'Apply'.

It's not just Linux. Problem exists in Windows 7 Ultimate, too. I just got a dual monitor and can never scroll left (cursor will go to my second monitor). 

 

Looking forward to when the game will actually play in fullscreen.

Hello madglee,

 

I have not come across this issue before. I have 2 monitors as well and never had any issues playing in fullscreen mode on Win 7. Check your resolution settings.
