Certain games when launched from Steam are unable to be fullscreened. It doesn't happen with every game but it doesn't seem to matter if it is Linux native or not. The in game options do not allow me to fullscreen the game. Alt+Enter also does nothing. Some notable examples are:
Half-Life 2: The game is stuck at 800x640. No amount of launch options changes this. Black Mesa: See above. Kerbal Space Program: Stuck in windowed mode. Left 4 Dead 2: Stuck in a pseudo windowed mode where it is the full resolution of my monitor but is offset by the Activities bar and Taskbar. Most other games that are affected by this problem have this effect. Tabletop Simulator: See above. Max Payne: See above. BeamNG.drive: See above.
As you can probably tell, this is really annoying and I don't know why it started. A few months ago it was fine. I have looked as best I could on the internet to find people with similar problems but I can't find anyone.
