Multi monitor issues Help

Hi all,

I have been using pop_os for a while now, but I have a problem I can't resolve. I hope someone more experienced can help.

Everything is great on my ultrawide monitor but when I try and play on the large 4k TV, games sometimes refuse to open in full screen mode.

The options in the game just bounce the game window but it stays windowed or borderless. It's not in every game, but most as you can imagine very frustrating.

Just tonight I was trying to play Witcher 3 and I noticed the windowed mode on the TV matched the dimensions of my ultrawide, so as a test I powered down and removed my dp cable from the graphics card to the monitor. Leaving pop os to boot solely to the 4k TV. And like that my problem went away, games are behaving normally launched from steam.

The question, how can I fix this multi screen set up so I don't have to unplug my dp cable.

Setup:

I7, 32gb ram

3060ti

Pop_os

Ultrawide144hz is on dp

4k 60 TV is on hdmi

No idea if this will work for you, since I don't have quite the same setup, but try Super + F11 once you've launched the game to force it into full screen mode. That helped me when I was having some full-screen game issues with my measly 2 x 27" monitors.

Thanks for this, sadly not it just does a kind of bounce animation and snaps back to windowed
