> arrow_forward GAME INFORMATION GAME BUILD #: 13.690 GAME PLATFORM: Steam OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 10 arrow_forward ISSUE EXPERIENCED If you minimize the game while loading, before the menu screen loads, the game remains in a half quarter of the screen instead going full screen when you click again on it.

In short, use alt-enter to get the game back to full screen.
