    My game goes on startup back to windowed mode with space between the game-border and the screen-border
    It is since ages like that, but i was too lazy to ask for help :p

    it is always like this on startup

    and i want it fullscreen (without going borderless) like that

    stats: Win 7, have the game on steam but i forced it to x64 via the gamefiles so steam won't notice when i start bng up :p

    Uhm, looks like it does not save the 'maximized' status.
    We need to check.

    Protip: press Windows Key + Up Arrow to quickly maximize windows.

    Does it still happen? Since this thread was made, we have reworked how the window management works and fixed a variety of issues with it.

    Over here it is working correctly:
    Closing the game while it's maximized will make it open in the same way at the next launch

    makes two of us lol
    though honestly it's not that big of a deal, i'd rather the devs focus on bigger things.

    Still happening 5 years later
    And whenever I alt tab out of the game, it just switches to windowed mode again and I have to go into the settings to change it
