Problems running on Linux with multiple monitors

[shez]

I am running Manjaro KDE with all packages up to date and running latest real-time kernel using Wayland session and am having issues using battlebit remastered in my multiple monitor setup

I have 2 displays - 1 at 2560x1440 170hz and the other 1920x1080 at 165, with second display vertically oriented. The moment I attempt to launch the game in any fullscreen/maximised mode the game appears 'minimised', whenever second display is disabled or unplugged it launches without issue.

I have attempted the fix suggested by user in https://steamcommunity.com/app/671860/discussions/4/6717729343875388269/?l=german to set custom resolution in game then reenable display however I still have same issues.

Any help and suggestions greatly appreciated

Have you tried X11 ?

Not yet, that's the next thing I'll try but really want to use Wayland if I can because of multiple resolutions and non integer scaling, will try later when I'm at PC

add SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0 into the /etc/environment

or use start parameter in steam SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0 %command%

another way is using xrandr. type in terminal:

xrandr -q

it's gonna show you all the connected monitors and their system names. once you know the name of your primary monitor (in my case: DisplayPort-0) you just type this in terminal:

xrandr --output <primary display> --primary

(my example would be: xrandr --output <primary DisplayPort-0 --primary)

this could fix the problem. if this works you can add the xrandr line were it gets executed after every reboot.

i'm using x11 and had the same hustle. i had to create a x11 monitor config in order to have the whole system know the orientation and behavior of my monitors. no idea where to put this under wayland.

Works without issue in X11, have since hopped to endeavouros but any troubleshooting steps or better to ask in other forum e.g. endeavour?

Tried this too, as stated above running without issue in X11 and wouldn't know a thing about wayland configuration either
