No Fullscreen option in Linux
Games starting only in window and no UI scaling too, by the way

Try ALT+Enter.

Scaling is resolution dependant - what resolution are you playing at?

Please tell did you get it to work on FS. I am not going to buy the game before I know there is no major issues in Linux version.

Here is what worked for me (Arch Linux):
1) Start the game once and quit.
2) In the file ~/.local/share/Neverwinter\ Nights/nwn.ini, under the section [Display Options] set FullScreenDesktopMode=1 and Borderless=1

Game starts in a window here too, no option for fullscreen that I can see. UI scaling is totally broken. The lack of fullscreen is even worse in that the window is kind of a full-screen thing... so that bits of its UI is actually hidden by my toolbar and launcher (Unity).

Bit disappointing. I was lead to believe that they'd done loads of testing on Linux, but I'm using a fairly stock Ubuntu 16.04 release here. Not sure how this was overlooked.

[Edit: just saw masmddr's post. Will try that now]

[Edit: Nope, still not fullscreen, but those changes DO make the game's UI match its windows, so that's a bit of progress. Even if I change the Fullscreen option to 1, as soon as I start the game, it resets to 0. There's some Height and Width options, I'll mess around with, see if that helps].

Edit: Found it, but it is a bug. fixing and .ini files is a hack, that should be fixed
Edit #2: no fullscreen yet, resolutions is set to window mode again automatically (and in nwn.ini file again)
Edit #3: after scaling to 2 got fullscreen, but now fonts are broken (it is connected with cyrillic fonts, so not a global bug) and focus is broken
By the way, I have old native version and it works fine fullscreen in any resolution

Thanks for the feedback! The team is looking at it.

It's hardly "unplayable" here. I suppose it might be on a 4K monitor, since the UI scaling is broken. I'm playing fine, but would prefer a proper "fullscreen" mode such that I don't see my top bar and Unity sidebar.

Very broken for me on linux, mouse position doesn't reflect the actual position in the menus. Makes it near impossible to play.

Seems to improve when scaling is turned off, but that means I'm playing in a quarter window...

BTW: Extremely happy that you've made this! I can wait for bugs to be fixed, keep up the good work!

It's interesting to note that the Linux lack-of-fullscreen issue was reported more than a month ago, yet still has the status "New": https://support.baldursgate.com/issues/35506

I don't believe "Alt-Enter" for fullscreen has ever worked on Linux, and it certainly doesn't for me in NWN:EE.

What about fonts? Right now other than latin fonts cannot be scaled. Is it in roadmap?

I'd wager that would come under this: https://trello.com/c/z78Ahb4B/2-ui-refactor-investigation

I think it is about here, but more than 3 (!) months...

Good call. I missed that one!

another way to fix fullscreen is, depending on your window manager, you can right click on the titlebar and select Fullscreen.

XFWM4 here works, others should have the same option somewhere.. Other WM's might have a different hotkey, or in many cases a hotkey can be set to fullscreen a window, or otherwise remove the border.. Alt-mousedrag also often drags windows from wherever the mouse is inside them. So that might be a nice way to just drag the titlebar offscreen if you can't find the WM's native fullscreen function.
