Summary: Game open in a window when they should be using fullscreen Product: Wine Version: 0.9.39. Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: test AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: ben@atomnet.co.uk
This affects quite a few games hence the title. I thought this had been filed previously but neither me nor the others in IRC could find it so I'm filing this.
Basically some games that should be running in fullscreen mode end up in what looks like their own windowed mode when they should be fullscreen. I've seen this happen on a few games but can't remember the others at the moment. Using virtual desktop lets them run "fullscreen" inside that, but if you try and run fullscreen normally you just get them in a fullscreen-sized window (and thus you lose some of the display due to window manager bars being in the way).
Picture attached for clarity.
