Fullscreen
I've owned this game for a while now , Haven't bothered to play it because the stupidest of problems exist and it's still not fixed.


I can't play this game in fullscreen at all , I've tried switching between to windowed fullscreen then back to full screen and I'm always windowed just stretched to my resolution..

WHY can I not do the basic function of simply running this game in fullscreen , I've never in my entire life had a problem like this except with Ark..

Did you try alt+enter when you're in the game?

Since this was revived by the both of you , It's cause I'm a owner of a DK2 , Ark recognizes that and sets my game to windowed by default , and it can't be changed unless i Disable my DK2 config utlility.

No need to disable Oculus config, just hit power button on dk2.

I have the same issue. Doesn't work at all in Fullscreen, Window mode works just fine. Running on Linux with a i7 4770K, 16GB ram, GTX970 Strix, 256GB SSD. :-/

I had the same issue but when I cliked on ark to run it I didn't make the game fullscreen at first, I waited until I was in the game and than I pressed the fullscreen and it worked.

I am sure all those people from 3 and a half years ago really appreciate this late information. It is not likely they already either fixed their problem or have stopped playing ark by now. That is sarcasm btw.

But all of us do. Not sure what's hard to grasp about that.

not like this post was 4 years old ... thank you everyone.
Lol looked at this convo trying to find a command to make the game fullscreen. I wrote "fullscreen" in the control panel and it worked just fine.
