What To Do If CS:GO Won’t Go Full Screen?
In case this method doesn’t work, as it’s been reported by some players, you can try this alternative solution to make CS2 go full screen:
- Go to the Steam Library
- Find the CS2 icon and right click on it
- Click on Video Settings, then on Video and finally on Display Mode
- Set it to Full Screen Mode
- Click on “Apply” (You’ll find it on the bottom right hand corner, just click on the bottom of the screen and you’ll hit it to save the changes)
If the first method didn’t work, then this one will get the job done. The hardest part is finding the “Apply” button, but as instructed, you’ll find it at the bottom right hand corner.
However, in case it didn’t work, we recommend you to try the following:
- Go to System Preferences on your Mac
- Minimize your dock to the smallest setting
- Go to Video Settings on CS2
- Click on Video, then on Display Mode
- Set it to Full Screen Mode
- Click on Apply
Sometimes it won’t work at first because the dock is preventing the game from going full screen mode, but this simple fix will solve the problem and allow you to play on fullscreen without problems.
