still no fix? i cant tell u how many times i have to press alt enter; cmon it can be that hard to make a fix fo rthis

It's been 2 years without a single fix for this - completely unacceptable!

Still an issue! Makes the game almost unplayable!

STILL AN ISSUE IN November 2025!

Please, it is so annoying to have to press alt-enter to enter full screen every single time. I am aware of hacks for making the window permanently fullscreen, but I do not have the time to check if it is safe to use it.
It is very frustrating that something so basic is taking too long to fix.

Windowed mode is unplayable as the window doesn't fit on my screen and I can't read my cards at the bottom of the screen. If I put it smaller it's almost unreadable.
So I just stop playing until this is resolved.

PLEASE!!! THIS IS SO ANNOYING...

When are you going to fix this issue that has been unresolved for 2 years?

Just started playing MTG Arena, but considering against spending any real money on packs if simple bugs like this take over a year to get fixed.

Am having the same issue on Mac. Hope they fix this soon. Doesn't seem like it should be so challenging.

How is this not fixed yet! It is so game breaking if you have a big screen and for my experience working on simillar games it takes like 5 mins to fix. You could even get the intern to do it.

👋 I think I built a small fix for this that you all can use - its a small tray app that runs in the background and automatically restores fullscreen (via ALT + ENTER) if MTGA drops back to windowed mode.

If you try it and something breaks (or if it just works and that makes you happy), please let me know. Feedback, feature ideas, weird bugs - everything's welcome!

In Win10 I got it to work with 16:9 full screen with black borders on the side. But since I updated to Win11 the screen will exit full screen all the time, new match starting, sideboard open, game 2 starting, etc.
Supper frustrating and really takes the joy out of the game. :(

odyssey g9 ultrawide user here, same problem. super ****** to see how long this problem has gone unresolved. was thinking of picking arena back up after a 3 year break, but now im not so sure i want to. seems nothing has changed.

I don't even have a widescreen. My laptop is 1920x1200 and it switches to windowed mode with no option for my resolution every time I enter or exit a game. I'm an IT executive and I can't imagine allowing a problem like this to fester for my users for this amount of time. Very disappointing.

Shocking and disappointing that this issue has gone unresolved for so long.

As of August 2, 2025 this continues to be an unresolved issue. That's 546 days since it was reported. This is as bad as the golf club failing to fix their carts because if you jiggle key it'll work.

Makes it very difficult to take the organization's investment in the app/service seriously & therefore my confidence in continuing to invest cash in my collection is waning. This was supposed to be digital magic, the cards you buy/win/earn are yours forever. Not another abandonware game. Just...do better or let us down gently.

my display is 3440 x 1440
i installed the game through steam and am on a fresh win 11 install
see attached for recording of the issue

+1 having this issue still 7-26. Extremely annoying.

This is one of the strangest things to leave uncorrected, how does the app solve the issue on phones and tablets of different sizes? Maybe there is an easy solution that just needs to be prioritized. There could even be a way to offer large monitor users a split screen for 2 headed giant matches for couples or something to maximize return of human capital toward the issue.
