I selected windowed mode for BATTLETECH and it did`t overrule the top and side bar of my desktop (pictured below)- the windowed game extends slightly off the bottom and sides of my desktop leaving the config button below the visible screen and thus far unselectable by me, I`m stuck with the windowed mode.

I have tried quitting then re-opening the game with no change

then I uninstalled the game and deleted the BATTLETECH folder - upon reinstallation the game opens by default in windowed mode with the same problems.

if anyone knows where the file controlling this windowed mode setting is stored and what to modify in the file so that BATTLETECH reverts to fullscreen as its default please let me know.

I am using Ubuntu 18.04.2 and the latest BATTLETECH version from GOG (battletech_1_6_1_542r_30085) along with `flashpoint` and `urban warfare` dlc packs
I used the default install options when clicking through the gog installer.


my native resolution is 1920x1200 (this is the largest my monitor seems to support and) I suspect this is the size of window that BATTLETECH is opening as.

The fact that it doesn't overlap your sidebars is a feature, not a bug. The fact that it doesn't adjust its size to account for this is probably not a bug, technically, either, since the size is independently set. I'm surprised you can't move/resize the window manually, but I don't use Gnome so I don't know how bad the window manager is these days (assuming the game doesn't force a fixed size).

The settings are in ~/.config/unity3d/Harebrained\ Schemes/BATTLETECH/prefs and I'm guessing you can tweak the window size with "Screenmanager Resolution Height" and "Screenmanager Resolution Width" or return to full-screen mode by adjusting "Screenmanager Is Fullscreen mode".

Those directions were spot on thankyou :)

I changed the resolution to 1600x1080

<pref name="Screenmanager Resolution Height" type="int">1080</pref>
<pref name="Screenmanager Resolution Width" type="int">1600</pref>

which fitted within my workspace, then used the in-game menus to deselect windowed, I can play the game in fullscreen now :)

-when stuck in windowed-
I wasn`t able to enact any action outwith the window other than freely move the pointer and passively raise the icon I was hovering over at the time.
no mouse clicks or obvious keyboard presses other than ESC which opened the `quit game?` = `yes` `no` box had an apparent effect, though I may have missed some.
Other than the mouse movement the BATTLETECH window seemed to capture whatever I was doing including the Windowslogo key presses which would usually let me select from other windows open on that same workspace and/or allow me to change to other desktops.

once again, my thanks for the clear and easy to follow directions

fare well
