[Linux] Leftmost aspect ratio used when restoring fullscreen window

[oddko]

Hello,

Weird Issue on a 21:9 (2560*1080) display, when using that resolution in fullscreen, it works fine after launch, but if I alt tab and come back, it seems to be displaying the image in a 16:9 ratio and still at the same resolution (hence why it looks distorded, see the image below which is a raw printscreen).

This issue defo isnt GPU vendor related as I had it on my previous AMD card and still have it on my new NVIDIA card.

Hello, Reinstalling the game doesnt help, but I did further testing and nailed the issue a bit more. First, it only seems to happen when using multiple monitors. As you saw from my screenshot, I am using a standard 16:9 1080p display as my secondary monitor. If I unplug it and only use my 21:9 display, this issue does not happen. But then I tried pluging the 21:9 panel into my razer blade stealth (1440p screen laptop, intel HD graphics) and use 21:9 fullscreen once again, and this time when alt tabbing, it will try to display the 2560*1080 image as a 2560*1440 image ! hence stretching the game vertically this time, and cutting out of the display the upper part of the image. So yeah there you have it, check multi-display users. 2017-02-22 1:40 GMT+01:00 ranjeet-valve <notifications@github.com>:

Hello piunky could you reinstall the game to test? There may be some Windows configs that got placed on your system — You are receiving this because you authored the thread.

Posted by @yami-kage on #1362 (original at ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#4911):

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Since I changed my left and right monitors to be rotated counter clockwise (tall) I have been having a problem with CS:GO.
The game is running on my primary (middle) monitor at normal rotation. All three monitors are of the same model and configured identically except for the orientation.

When the window loses focus from fullscreen it minimizes as expected, but then becomes distorted as in this screenshot
This is not visible when taking a screenshot using the steam overlay (looks as if the screen was normal).
The mouse is restricted to a small portion of the monitor in the top left corner and the only work around I have found is to move the window to the left or right monitor (which enables regular mouse control, but the screen is distorted as in this screenshot) then changing video settings to windowed mode, moving it to center monitor and finally changing settings to fullscreen again.

The issue is not present when using windowed mode, but then the performace suffers too much to use it because of my distro's compositor muffin (a mutter fork, based on clutter).

If there is any more information I can provide, please let me know.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Rotate Left and Right monitors clockwise to vertical orientation, Center monitor not rotated.
2. Set CS:GO to run in fullscreen on center monitor
3. Lose window focus
4. Restore window

[apenglow]

I've experienced this as well. I have noticed that it only happens on GNOME and Cinnamon. KDE and XFCE are not affected by this bug.

Workaround (Works on GNOME and Cinnamon):

1. Minimize CS:GO
2. Move it to the leftmost monitor.
3. Move it back to your main monitor
4. Maximize and it should be fixed.

[schulzh]

I am experiencing it aswell (Antergos Arch Linux; Cinnamon).
Its not specific to CSGO though, the same happens in CSS and TF2, so it looks like a general Source issue.
EDIT: Does not happen in HL2, so not a general Source issue after all.

[kisak-valve]

@rcgordon, happen to have some insight if this is a SDL issue?

[icculus]

@kisak-valve, I don't know yet, but it definitely sounds like one. Feel free to assign this bug to me for now!

[DrDoctor13]

I have the exact same problem and it happens in TF2, CS:S, and CS:GO in Gnome Shell. It doesn't happen to HL2 or L4D2.

My Steam System Information: https://gist.github.com/DrDoctor13/4c77ac608241c451f7fddc18c05a0d4f

@kmate88 I have no way to open it on a specific monitor or move it after it's open. This seems to be a bug in Mutter/Muffin, not Kwin or whatever WM Xfce uses.

[DrDoctor13]

Actually my mistake @kmate88 you can't drag it in the Activities view but you can use Super+Shift+Left and Super+Shift+Right.

[kiroma]

In a Source engine game that doesn't have a custom video settings window, like Black Mesa, I noticed you can set which monitor you want to use for fullscreen resolution.
Maybe the best solution would be to scrap the pretty visual menus for usable ones?

[lodi-g]

Experiencing this as well. Archlinux with GNOME, two 21" FHD monitors and one 27" WQHD.
When switching to another window (Alt+Tab) when CSGO is started as fullscreen or fullscreen windowed, CSGO will go back to 1920x1080 instead of 2560x1440 and will be positioned in the lower left corner of the 27" screen.

[maksymovi]

Can confirm this is still an issue. I have 3 monitors, am running Ubuntu 18.04. Game starts on the wrong monitor, moving it to my center monitor with super+shift+arrow produces this bug. Nothing I change in the graphics settings fixes it.

Edit: kmate88's workaround works for me.

[ben-whale]

I have the same behaviour as Styil (same OS), but I fixed it.

In the X-org server I have two monitors, a smaller one which sits to the left of the larger main monitor. CSGO would open on the smaller monitor and when alt tabbing with the game full screened on the main monitor would (to my eye) take on the aspect ratio / scaled pixel dimensions of the smaller screen while csgo was still displayed on the main monitor.

I have now configured X-org so that my main monitor is the left hand most monitor. This has resolve my alt tabbing issues. Of course I know have to move my mouse right to make it appear on a physical monitor that is to the left.

The change to achieve this is pretty easy in the NVideo X server configuration program.

[ben-whale]

Fix / Janky workaround. I suspect the difference is how old your legacy code is.

I confirm this is an issue. i am using 2 monitors on Linux Mint.

[lephisto]

Still an Issue! Will this be addressed anytime or do I have to reinstall Windows again?

[schulzh]

My current workaround is to not minimize CS:GO. You can avoid minimizing on focus loss by setting the environment variable SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0 %command% via Launch Options. You can then switch to other Windows and have CS:GO running in the background.

BTW, @kmate88 's Workaround does not work for me anymore since Panorama; while it fixes the resolution, the mouse behaves like it is still scaled. Only fix is to switch to windowed and back to fullscreen or to restart CS:GO.

[willgleich]

also confirming this issue running linux mint with multiple monitors

[FailedCode]

After some update of Ubuntu 18.04 broke gdm3 and didn't let me login at all, I uninstalled that and use again lightdm and Unity instead of Ubuntu Desktop - no problems with starting on the wrong monitor or using the wrong aspect ratio.

[ourex]

Can confirm issue on Ubuntu 18.10. Valve please fix

[tnoell]

@schulzh That workaround doesn't work for me. Only thing that fixes it is setting the monitor to be the leftmost one in display settings.

[schulzh]

@tnoell What exactly does not work? It is important that CS:GO is set to Fullscreen (not Fullscreen Windowed) and that it already launches on the correct monitor; moving it will not work.

[tnoell]

@schulzh Sorry, I didn't realize I had to put %command% behind it in the launch options. Works now!

[Disk1of5]

hey @rcgordon hope you are doing well, any news on this bug? lately the only way i can launch CSGO correctly is creating a bash scripts that disables all my other monitors except primary, Then re-enabling after im done carrying my team for 3-4 rounds :)

Thanks!

[fredsif]

I'm having that same issue too.
When I do alt-tab and go back to the game, the resolution is all messed up.
I've tried to do Window mode, dragging it to the main monitor, go back to fullscreen mode, quit the game, restart, the game launches in my main monitor looking fine but then when I alt-tab it, it keeps doing the same.

I have no idea what to do.

You're an hero man, worked perfectly. Every time i alt-tabbed the game or received a message the game did not go back to fullscreen
