Hello @Lyle-Tafoya, this sounds like a variation of #4769. Can you completely close steam, then run SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0 steam -bigpicture
in a terminal and see if it improves steam's behavior?
That helps. Thank you.
I can attest to the same behavior, with me a little bit different, Big picture was in a different resolution, and after closing the game you could notice that steam didn't resume fullscreen after closing it.
I've had the same problem for a long time. The proposed solution works for me. Thanks!
Having to make sure Steam was started with SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0 was annoying me, so I ran these commands:
echo "export SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0" >> "${HOME}/.config/plasma-workspace/env/sdl.sh"
chmod u+x "${HOME}/.config/plasma-workspace/env/sdl.sh"
Then I logged out of KDE and logged back into KDE, started steam and the issue is gone. This sets the variable for all graphical applications in KDE. Until I see a reason that I don't want it set to 0, I am going just do this as a workaround until Valve fixes this.
If you start steam from a terminal emulator and use a bash shell, you will want to run echo "export SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0" >> "${HOME}/.bashrc"
too.
I had a problem unrelated to Big Picture: when on KDE, alt-tabbing out of the game would seemingly halve my mouse sensitivity somehow. Setting this env var fixed the issue.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
When exiting a game launched from big picture mode in KDE, big picture mode fails to take up the entire screen. It appears to be maximized instead of fullscreen (ie. the KDE panel is visible).
