Retail WoW plays really strangely on my EndeavourOS PC with a Gnome Desktop Environment. It likes to open on my second monitor, but flicker very obnoxiously. I move it over to my primary, and then it is a struggle to get it to be full screen and not still showing the top bar. 🤔

MOP Classic doesn't do this to me, so it's extremely baffling.

That's so unusual. On the same distro, on KDE, retail works perfectly in my experience. Though, I'm only using one monitor.

Probably my own fault for insisting on Gnome, but it just works so well for how my mind works... especially given how much I've tweaked it. 😅

I can't fault you for that!

Hm, what version of WiNE/Proton do you use?

GE-Proton 10-15, installed via ProtonUp-QT. I'm launching with Lutris instead of Steam, but that shouldn't be relevant.

Definitely odd. The one weird thing that just happened to me is that it wouldn't go in front of my taskbar and actually be full screen until I flipped it to windowed and back. Otherwise, totally fine.

I get that with my top bar once I get it on the correct screen. Hm, I might try fiddling with my top bar customization extension.

Looks like it was the Open Bar extension. Sigh.

Might be a specific setting with the extension. I'll need to fiddle with it.

Well, at least you figured it out!
