Ubuntu Dual Monitor Full Screen Issues

Hello, I don't know if this issue has been posted before. I just bought the game and it seems to automatically full screen and treat both of my screens as a single monitor. Tried fiddling with the full screen option, but to no avail. Anybody had this issue before?

EDIT: If you search "dual monitor" several others seem to share this problem and it doesn't seem to be solved yet

To clarify: windowed mode works fine, it is just full screen that bugs out across both screens. Using an Nvidia card if that helps.

I'm not sure, but I think it could have to do with the fact that both of my monitors are using the same configuration. Both are using one named "X screen 0" in Nvidia X Server Settings. Maybe this could be a hint to the developers.

We've had other Linux users report similar problems. While this is on our list to investigate, I would either suggest playing in windowed mode or taking a refund as I cannot hazard an ETA for when we could fix.

Most unfortunate, I will regrettably go for the refund. But I will keep my eye on this for a future fix! Thanks for the amazingly quick response :-)

Hi again. I just wanted to let you know that after switching to windows I decided to buy the game again. Looking forward to trying it out without the above-mentioned issues! :D

Thank you, this solved the problem for me, even tho this means using the windows runtime.
Edit: Linux Mint 20.1 / Proton 6.3
