DimSim Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 I just switched from Steam version to non Steam. Every time the application starts from desktop shortcut, the app window appears in top left corner instead of full screen. * Resolution set to 2560x1440, while monitor res is 3840x2160 * Always occurs with non steam version, never occurs with Steam version unless I click around while loading. * Does not occur if app restarts itself (eg. change settings or logout causing auto restart.) * Doesn't matter if vsync on or off. * No video driver customizations * Not VR * System: Windows 10, Geforce 2080 * Build: Open Beta 2.5.6.55960 Work arounds: * Alt-Enter - Always and instantly restore full screen, HOWEVER mouse behaves strangely. Every 4th click or so on the UI will reposition the cursor as if the resolution does not match somehow. * Alt-Tab - May require multiple presses, but once DCS is in focus, works fine. * Click on task bar icon after loading - Causes DCS to go full screen with focus. Works fine. * Click on task bar icon while loading - Also works, and prevents it showing as window first, but requires careful timing. * Click on app window - Sometimes works, depending on current state of app Why not just use workarounds? Why should I need to re-focus the app every time I start it? No other application requires this. Worse, the Alt-Enter which would work best has the jumping mouse cursor issue which persists until app restarted. I would guess this could relate to the way non steam version shows 2 popup windows for login and authorization each start, while Steam does not.
Bailey Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 Have you tried enabling Full Screen mode in Options, pressing OK, then restarting DCS?

DimSim Posted October 24, 2020 Author Posted October 24, 2020 Yes, Full Screen is enabled. This is not a Windowed vs Full Screen issue, it relates to the full screen window losing focus during startup phase. If I uncheck Full Screen, I get a floating window which looks different.

DimSim Posted October 25, 2020 Author Posted October 25, 2020 Disable fullscreen optimization in Windows. That had no effect for me, but thanks for the suggestion.
