Something bugs me a little bit: When I am trying to play an RPGMaker game from Steam, its https://store.steampowered.com/app/8500 ... _Fate_S17/ for me atm but another one has the same problem, then I can do fullscreen (right click and set fullscreen out of the context menu or doubleclick) but when I press it (any mousebutton) then it goes out of the fullscreenmode and I see my taskbar and above the name of the window.
Short story short: Is it possible to make such an emulated RPGMaker game in fullscreen only? So it doesnt leave their?
I already tried the following out:
Focus options in windowsmanager (nothing helped)
wmctrl -r 'Noel the Mortal Fate - Season 1' -b add,fullscreen (= that command worked! But sadly the same problem) When I tried it out on for example steam it was fullscreen and didnt botch to go in window mode or so until I alt+F4 steam. Its only these emulated games in their "special windows?"
Should I make my peace with that or is it possible to do something about that?
In the following an picture from the emulated window
EDIT: I red something about to "disable the compositor " when playing such games and enable it after playing such an game. And I red about "how to do it?" With an "Gamemode.ini"? Anyone an idea? I researched over the past days for this and it seems like I cant understand this problem very well...
Here is an thread about the "gamemode.ini" when anyone is interested. I searched an number of threads over the net the last few days... naturally not only reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/c ... _the_most/
Thank you again for your great help! :-)
Hello Noax!
I am not sure, if I can help you with your problem but I will try nonetheless. :)
In general:
The first thing I would like to recommend you when playing steam-games with linux is the use of the proton-database (https://www.protondb.com/). There you should find almost every game and usually also an assessment about it's compatibility with linux and/or hints and experiences from other players to make things work if they won't run out of the box.
As you probably know Steam uses a compatibility layer called proton which is based on wine to make windows games playable. Some versions of proton might work better (or worse) than others. This is something that also could be mentioned by other players when you browse through the proton-database. In such a case you should make a right click on your game, select "properties" and then "compatibility" and force steam to use the desired version of proton.
However... I have looked there for your game by myself and sadly there are only two entries and nothing about a fullscreen-problem. :/
Please forgive me the question but have have you checked the ingame options (if there are any) and that the game is supposed to run fullscreen?
Usually (from my experience) it is not needed to fiddle around with the compositor. When every option in the game is set correctly I would at first try to switch to a different version of proton to see if it makes a difference. Could you please try "Proton Experimental" with the game and report back?
In case that it won't work we could look for error-messages when running steam and the game from terminal but maybe a different proton will already do the trick.
I wish you good luck! :)
