Can't launch an OpenGL game in fullscreen at 1920x1080 resolution

Hello,

 

It seems I have a problem launching games using OpenGL when my desktop is set to 1920x1080 resolution.

Depending on the game, it might crash back to desktop instantly (Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered or Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered), or leave me with a black or white screen and only audio (The Binding of Isaac Repentance+). For the latter, Alt-Tabbing doesn't solve the issue, the game is crashed with no picture and I have to kill the task.

 

However, if I switch down my desktop resolution to 1600x900 (or any below 1920x1080) the game launches fine in fullscreen.

Alternatively, if the game allows so, I can launch in windowed mode at 1920x1080, but some games don't allow it (like Soul Reaver Remastered and Tomb Raider Remastered), and in any case, I would like to play fullscreen.

 

My GPU is a Radeon RX 6700 XT

Yeah, this has been a problem since 24.6.1 and it's still not fixed. A bunch of folks here, including me, have reported the same issue with a bunch of OpenGL games.

Adding to the list of OpenGL applications that don't work when running at 1920x1080:
- MAME when running with OpenGL

- PCSX2 when running with OpenGL

- Blue Revolver

- Balatro (and basically any game made with the LÖVE framework)

- Half-Life and its expansions
