Linux native client has a broken full screen mode

[Kei_ZJ]

Brief Information

I use Fedora 36 workstation beta with x11 display server for Nvidia GPUs. I have not tried disabling the Steam Overlay for any of the tests I did.

Linux Native Client

Whenever I try to run the game in full screen mode it seems that the game's is not able to render properly and is cut-off. This behavior is seen on both Wayland and X11 display servers.

Windows Version on Proton

I ran this game through the "force steam play compatibility" option in the property settings and it allowed the game to run at full screen screen.

Itch DRM-free Linux Version

The 64-bit version of the game I got from itch worked properly. There were no errors when trying to launch full-screen.

Same problem on Fedora 36. Nvidia drivers and Wayland. Running the native client causes a small window that only shows part of the screen.

Thankfully I can play through proton by forcing compatibility mode.

We can't really provide support about a modified game with an upgraded NW.js like this, but there is a dedicated modding discord for CrossCode with lots of Linux users which you can find here:

May I request some theories on why this might be the case? I don't fully understand what an upgraded NW.js means and the issues it causes, all I know is that the Steam version is broken but the Linux DRM-free version is not.

I haven't modded it either. If I download the Linux version of the game it doesn't run properly.

Is the confusion about using Proton? Proton isn't a mod. It is Valve's WINE middle ware that lets you run Windows Games on Linux. It's how people are able to Windows copies of Elden Ring on Steam Decks. But we don't really want to do that to play Cross Code. We want to run the Linux version on Linux. But the Linux version does not currently work.

Yeah my game not being modded yet being labeled as so is confusing. It's also weird how the steam play version is okay but not the native version. The Itch version is much better too

Not sure why but it does seem to be working in full screen now.

I just gave up and ran it in Proton. Kind of disappointing that in 2 weeks, the only official reply from the developer was completely unhelpful and entirely misunderstood the problem.

I'm sorry, it did seem like I misunderstood. I read the reply mentioning "Only happened after the recent nw.js update." and figured it was part of the original post. Apologies. I probably should have quoted said reply in my own.

Also, I'm not a developer, just a moderator.

Currently it seems that there is a version difference between the Native Linux client and the itch.io client. I'll have this checked.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I'm really enjoying the game so far!

Changing the size of the screen only changes the window size but the game still renders in the same size even in fullscreen no matter what settings I set it to, It's odd how it only started happening recently

[Bilbo Fraggins]

I just installed the game from Steam, completely unmodded and I am getting this issue as well. Oddly enough it works okay on Steam Deck, but not on desktop.

That bug makes me upset, because I was planning to buy this game have a lot of time and when I get it, is almost unplayable.

I suspect there is something nvidia related with the problems people have been reporting. Is anyone with the issues running Intel or AMD graphics? On my system with AMD I have no issues with full screen or windowed. Distro is Solus for reference

Note that you can still play it, but you have to force the use of compatibility tools

The performance when using proton is very bad, not the fps, but the frame passing is horrible. But I also have other problem using the native version of Linux, the controller map also doesn't work.
