Intel 3570k processor, Intel integrated graphics HD 4000 (driver version 3.0 Mesa 21.0.3), 8gb ram, 256gb SSD, 1920 x 1200 monitor.

Steam client version (build number or date): Steam installed and updated August 26th, 2021. I don't know the version or build number.
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Operating system: Linux Mint 20.2 (64bit),
Opted into Steam client beta?: No
Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I am playing the original Psychonauts using the Steam Linux Runtime. The game opens in a small window in the center of my screen and I cannot find a way to enlarge it. While playing the game, I can get to the Options window, but none of the options work. I cannot adjust Graphics within the game. Adjusting settings in the DisplaySettings.ini file does nothing. Those settings are back to their original state now.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Start the game. The original window takes up only a small amount of the screen.
While in the game, click on Escape and choose Options. None of the options for graphics, sound or input work.

Hello @Kerry-56, this issue should also be mentioned to the game's dev(s).

Out of mild curiosity, does the game behave the same without using the Steam Linux Runtime container environment?

Thanks for the reply kisak-valve, and thanks for adding the 3rd party game label. I'm new to the site.

The game does the same thing when no container environment is forced. There is no way to enlarge the window that I can find. I've tried using two different Proton versions, and neither would even start the game.

When the game window opens, and I right click on it, the options to maximize or resize the window are also non-functional and greyed out.

Steam support sent me a message saying that Linux Mint (Cinnamon) isn't officially supported, and I should switch to 64 bit Ubuntu for better compatibility.

I have the same problem with PopOS (which is Ubuntu 64). The best I can do is change my screen resolution down to 800x600 (which is messy, but does work).

Nothing extracted yet.
