Just started with linux, and have got this problem when running tf2. Whenever I tab out and back in the resolution lowers and the screen is forced into the bottom left. I can fix it by changing the display monitor in the settings but the issue happens again the next time i tab out. I am trying to run the game at my monitor's native res (1920x1080). I'm on the latest version of linux mint.

I've tried with and without -fullscreen in the launch options, no difference.

Any idea what's happening? Thanks.

I would try other window managers. ``sudo apt install openbox`` then when you log in next time there should be a button to switch. If that doesn't work lmk

If the game minimizes too then you can try adding this to launch options:

SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0 %command%

If the game minimizes too then you can try adding this to launch options: [code]SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0 %command%[/code]

if i put this in the launch options, the game crashes instantly when run. am I doing it wrong?

-novid +exec autoexec -nojoy -noforcemaccel -noforcemparms -w 1920 -h 1080 SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0 %command%

I think you need to have it at the very start, like:

SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0 %command% -novid +exec autoexec -nojoy -noforcemaccel -noforcemparms -w 1920 -h 1080
