I’m on Fedora 42, running GNOME 48 (Wayland) with an RTX 4050 GPU. Trying to play Red Dead Redemption 2 via Steam using Proton Experimental.

The game is stuck in borderless windowed mode. I can play just fine.

There’s no <WindowMode> tag in the system.xml.

I only changed the framerate in system.xml to 144, which works.

Tried -fullscreen in Steam launch options — does nothing.

Can’t switch to fullscreen from in-game either, there’s no option.

Not using Gamescope. Didn’t touch anything else. No VSync changes. No other launch flags.

Is there any way to force this game into actual fullscreen under Proton?

Edit: System.xml keeps updating so I’m using following launch options now:

DXVK_FRAME_RATE=144 %command% -height 1080 -width 1920 -refresh 144

Edit: I installed x11 and the game is now working fine. Also had to enable vsync to prevent screen tearing.

    is there a reason not to use gamescope? Have you tried proton forks like ge or tkg? also have you checked protondb for anyone having the same problem?

      I tried but the launcher crashes … Managed to play the game with x11. But the graphics and audio quality is significantly worse.
