[CS:S/TF2] Running in a window is in 640x480 window (and not accepting resolution)

[roman-bronis]

I changed CS:S from Fullscreen to Run in a window mode and it created small 640x480 window no matter which resolution I selected. Game size seems to be changing but window size stays the same.

UPDATE: I'm using Fluxbox. In Unity it's working as it should. UPDATE 2: Same issue with TF2. However HL and CS1.6 are working as intended.

My specs: Intel Core i5 2500K ATI Radeon HD 6850 (driver 13.2 beta 3) Ubuntu 12.04 64bit (with Fluxbox)

I saw you ran fluxbox. Can you post your fluxbox --info information?

[roman-bronis]

In Unity it's working as it should.

fluxbox --info

Ok, maybe not the exact same issue as mine ( #1287 ) but very similar issue.

I'm very sure this is a Fluxbox issue and not so much CS:S related. The same thing happens in TF2 right?

Can I see your ~/.fluxbox/init ? Does the game work correctly in fullscreen?

[roman-bronis]

Fullscreen works, same as changing resolution in fullscreen.

Oh man, maybe I didn't run it in windowed after all. I was just to excited to get it working that I forgot it test this.

Well, I just tried doing some stuff that I thought might fix this, but no :(

I'm pretty sure this issue is WM related though.

[roman-bronis]

TF behaves same as CS:S. GoldSrc games (HL and CS1.6) - OK. Trine 2 - OK. Polynomial - OK? (it's behaving weirdly when in window mode) FTL - OK World of Goo - OK Cogs - OK Amnesia - OK

[roman-bronis]

Shouldn't be this tagged also with CS:S and TF2?

[swordfischer]

I was actually just looking into this. I trying starting X only with a terminal

contents of xinitrc: exec urxvt

then run command startx

in urxvt, in the X session run steam steam

Now, steam launches, and I start CS:S. It will then create a 640x480 image in the center, with black borders and not scale the image. Though CS:S itself will run 1920x1080 (looking at terminal output from Steam) which is compressed inside this little box. None of the buttons are clickable though.

[msimpson]

I have this exact same issue with TF2, as well. I use the launch options -windowed -w 1600 -h 900 and can verify that the game does load assuming that resolution and in windowed mode (according to the video settings in-game), but the window itself is still 640x480. The window hints are also being set correctly (xwininfo):

WM_HINTS(WM_HINTS):
    Client accepts input or input focus: True
WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
    user specified location: 960, 480
    program specified minimum size: 1600 by 900
    program specified maximum size: 1600 by 900

However the game loads with the incorrect geometry (xprop) geometry 640x481+1371+409. I can resize the window appropriately, which is a pain to get just right, but the resolution is correct even though the window size isn't.

I use i3, a tiling window manager, but set all Steam WM_CLASS matches to float automatically. And I'm sure my WM is respecting size hints as other applications like MPlayer hit floating mode with the correct size.

WORKAROUND which worked for me (use on your own responsibility):

1. install wmctrl (sudo apt-get install wmctrl)
2. run game
3. wmctrl -r Counter-Strike -e 0,0,0,X,Y where X is your width and Y is your heigh resolution

example: wmctrl -r Counter-Strike -e 0,0,0,1680,1050

[msimpson]

Sadly i3 users, like myself, cannot employ wmctrl. But in the spirit of your workaround Roman, I'm going with this in my config:

for_window [title="Team Fortress 2 - OpenGL"] floating enable; resize grow right 960 px; resize grow down 420 px

That should help anyone else using i3. I'm just growing the window from 640x480 to the correct size. It works well, but one day when this gets fixed I'm sure I'll be shocked by the 2560x1320 window it renders.

[roman-bronis]

No one is assigned, tags don't include TF2 or CS:S, no one is taking care. I'm thinking about reposting to Source-1-games hub, maybe there, maybe...

[johndrinkwater]

Please do @roman-bronis, this managed to get forgotten by the automated script because tags werent on it :( It does appear to be an odd behaviour though; have you checked fluxbox bug tracker for similar problems?

[roman-bronis]

It's affecting i3 also, so I don't think it's Fluxbox related. I'm going to repost it there.
