Black screen on alt tab, fullscreen and discord stream

[Khatangher]

Whenever I try to make a windowed version fullscreen, or stream on discord, I get a permanent black window that I haven't found a fix for yet. Is this normal? If so I'd rather refund, I feel like these are pretty basic display expectations. I can stream the old build engine games, or even better play them in co-op. Disappointing to see these limitations on the 'next gen' build game. Looked everywhere I could and saw no mention of this issue.

I have you tried swapping from Opengl to software?

Software is even worse than my openGL results, in software it's a black screen from boot, nothing else. Haven't encountered this specific issue before, especially in Build games. Thanks for the advice though.

I have the game on GOG too, in case anybody knows of issues in that specific version. OpenGL is fine on boot, as soon as I toggle fullscreen or try to stream I get a permanent black screen.
I also discovered that any alt tabbing at all will also permanently black screen until I force close it.

I'll leave this here in case anyone else looks for it, I was preoccupied with fixing it before playing, but I gave up and started the game, and it started working. I guess the game just really doesn't like alt tabbing on the menu.

Perhaps you could try running the game with EDuke32. Since it's a build engine, other ports may perform better. Hope you get it fixed, this is a damn fun game.

...Ion Fury is using EDuke32. I guess you could attempt to use a newer build of EDuke32 as it gets updates before the Steam version does.
