Description
Switches mode, switches off second display if primary display frame rate is not 60Hz
Linux
Steam
What is your game version?
1001569
Do you have Space Race installed?
Yes
Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
With the game in full-screen mode, if the primary monitor is running at a frame rate other than 60Hz (I have not exhaustively tested this), this game does two things:
* Changes the display mode to 60Hz.
* Switches off any other displays.
As my primary display is to the right of my secondary display, I find also that the mouse pointer is locked to the left edge of the game window. (This looks like an operation-ordering issue – doing a pointer grab before changes to the display settings take effect?)
Exiting the game should restore display settings. It tries, but I end up with mirrored displays instead of a wide desktop. (It's possible that this is a bug in the version of Xfce which is installed.)
Other display settings: 1080p, default refresh rate, vsync on, frame rate limit 60Hz (also tested 120Hz with no difference).
I'm running Devuan beowulf, but with libc6 from chimaera. I can't sensibly test on recent Ubuntu at the moment, but I suspect that at least some of the above behaviour problems would be evident.
GAMES HAVE NO BUSINESS MESSING WITH DISPLAY SETTINGS. (Well, not these days.)
Can you replicate the issue?
100%. (There's nothing more to explain.)
I can work around the problem in two ways:
* By using a 60Hz display mode on my primary monitor. It's a Freesync one, connected via DP; why should I just because one game misbehaves?
* By using windowed mode, which doesn't mess with my display settings at all. However, as I want the window full-screen, I then have to force it via the window manager, I could automate this via devilspie2 (which is installed) or a similar tool.
(There is no relevant info – screenshot, log file etc. – to attach to this report, but your forum software insists on at least one…)
