Fullscreen in LInux?

[Devi710]

Hello,

Is there a way to get the game to play full screen in Linux? I am only able to get a windowed mode.

-also, Wadjeteye games are great! I am realy glad to finally be playing this in Linux :)

That's strange. I'm running Linux Mint 13 x64 MATE and I can ONLY get fullscreen.

Alright I found it. Change the value of windowed from 1 to 0 in acsetup.cfg in the install directory.

Thanks for that. For those who don't know, the file is in: "~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Gemini Rue"

It still doesn't fill the screen when I run it fullscreen, it's more like maximized. I'll play around with the "gfxfilter" setting.

That install directory may not be accurate for everyone using Linux, though. I've seen setups where Steam was installed in completely different places and the user didn't seem to know other people's Steam install directory was under ~/.local/share. That's why I referred to the game's install directory rather than a specific location.

That also seems strange. Changing the 0 to a 1 and vice versa most certainly makes it windowed or fullscreen in my setup and I'm using MATE with Compiz as my window handler. I'm really wondering if it has something to do with your DE or your window handler. Although if you have any success with gfxfilter, let me know because I would much prefer a maximized screen to fullscreen or the tiny window.

Thx Devi710 and mouse! Your info helped me to contain some issues I'm having with this game. With your info I turned my full screen Gemini Rue(which froze my entire computer btw) into a containable window.

I got some weird stuff in this file acsetup.cfg

defaultgfxdriver=DX5
gfxdriver=DX5

Does that mean that it attempts to use DirectX 5? It would be truly a joke if it really attempted such a thing... :) but right now my game is being rendered extremely slowly. I'll attempt to switch it to OpenGL, I have no clue how this happened.

I am running ubuntu 16.04 on my rig and was stuck in FullScreen mode... which screwed everything up... editing Windowed from 0 to 1 in the acsetup.cfg file as mentioned above seem to fix things up.
I have also read that the game files can be in different places depending on whether Steam was installed from repositories or the Steam site... given that, I have started right-clicking on the game in the Library, selecting Properties and then going to the "Local Files" Tab... which will then allow you to browse the local files and pop the folder right up.

There is a way to solve this but it's pretty complicated and I didn't bother. Accepting windowed mode like above worked fine. It initially gave me a small window so I changed gfxfilter to StdScale3 (also in the acsetup file) and it was more pleasantly sized.

on ubuntu 16.04 64bit .... initial config caused fullscreen mess, had to force reboot from terminal
acsetup.cfg -> changed Windowed from 0 to 1 , changed StdScale2 to StdScale3
I used my monitor settings to zoom, so the game window took up most of the screen size
