Resolution issues with Ubuntu

Published on Thursday, April 2, 2026 By marxeil In GalCiv IV Support

Hey,

Long time SD game player as far back as GC2 and the OG elemental. I recently purchased GC4 on Steam and having issues with resolution.

System specs:

Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS

NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 2080 Ti

Dual monitors: main 4k, secondary 1080p

 

By default the game starts at full screen and in this setting locks the resolution to 5120 x 2880. When unchecking full screen and setting it to 4k, the game display in a small window - perhaps because the monitor is set to 150% scale?

I tried changing value in the setting file;

[Video]
Fullscreen=1
DisplayResolution=3840 x 2160
DisplayResolutionCheckEnabled=1

 

I tried setting launch options:

-screen-width 3840 -screen-height 2160

-fullscreen -screen-width 3840 -screen-height 2160

-popupwindow -screen-width 3840 -screen-height 2160

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% -screen-width 3840 -screen-height 2160

 

It either doesn't work, or freezes my system. Anyway to solve this?
