I’m on Fedora 42, running GNOME 48 (Wayland) with an RTX 4050 GPU. Trying to play Red Dead Redemption 2 via Steam using Proton Hotfix.

The game is stuck in borderless windowed mode. I can play just fine.

There’s no tag in the system.xml.

I only changed the framerate in system.xnl to 144, which works.

Tried -fullscreen in Steam launch options — does nothing.

Can’t switch to fullscreen from in-game either, there’s no option.

Not using Gamescope. Didn’t touch anything else. No VSync changes. No other launch flags.

Is there any way to force this game into actual fullscreen under Proton?

I know it sounds stupid but i could be as easy as hitting alt+enter. It's worked for me in the past

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
