I press F5, but it's not running in Fullscreen mode...

On Linux or Windows?

Then sorry, I can't help you :( When looking how to fix it on Linux (with success) I found out, that this game uses very old graphic library called WinG - supposedly fullscreen does not work for games using this library on Windows 7 and newer or any 64-bit Windows.

In game directory there's a file "wing\WING32.DLL" - make sure, that this file is copied to both C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (this should happen automatically when installing it through Steam, but maybe some other program prevented it).

It's definitely buggy, but I was able to run it fullscreen after launching the game for a third time. Though I find it quite bad since it ruins original aspect ratio (4:3), so I use resize instead. Not a perfect solution, but better than stretched image.

It's erratic, sometimes it goes full screen by itself and then back to windowed mode.

I read somewhere that fullscreen works in Windows when started from Steam in Big Picture Mode. Can someone confirm?

i have the GOG version but i do have it added to steam as a non-steam game,

i can confirm that outside of big picture mode it refuses to go into fullscreen but in big picture mode it does work in fullscreen mode (it does borderless fullscreen which is better than nothing)

i can also confirm that the original version of this game did not use borderless fullscreen but ran at 320x200 70hz when using fullscreen mode on a Win98SE pc (i have a Win98SE retro pc and the original version of the game)

quick edit: as for launching the GOG version normally without steam: doesn't go into fullscreen but launching the game through GOG Galaxy does launch it in fullscreen

quick edit 2: forgot to mention, you may want to set your desktop resolution to something that is 4:3 aspect ratio otherwise fullscreen is stretched, long story short aside from some modifications this is the win3.1 original

Full screen mode works when you start the game via Steam's Big Picture mode.
