Fullscreen on start of layout: Am I missing something?

I'm working on a PC game, so I will export the project with NW.js.

I want to start my game on fullscreen using the Browser plugin. "On start of layout -> Request fullscreen" on the first layout just doesn't work, nor using preview, neither if I export the game with NW.js.

I can set the game fullscreen only if I click on a button or take an action.

Am I missing something? What I'm doing wrong?

From the manual : Note the browser may ignore this request unless the action is in a user-initiated event, such as a mouse click, key press, touch event or button press.

From the manual : Note the browser may ignore this request unless the action is in a user-initiated event, such as a mouse click, key press, touch event or button press.

I've read the manual, and there was (now it's gone) another line after the one you quote:

"(The one exception to this is NW.js which can request fullscreen at any time.)"

Is this no longer true? And, even stranger, if I put the same condition ("On start of layout -> Request fullscreen") on the fourth or fifth layout, it works fine...

Then it's resolved. I guess the request is too early for the browser if it's the very first event

Well, the game can't automatically go fullscreen only after the loading layout, the splashscreen and the intro...it doesn't make any sense.

Ok, it seems that you have to click on something on the screen to "activate" it, and after that any conditions can trigger the "Request fullscreen" action.

Click is a "user-initiated event". So either the manual is wrong saying that it's not needed in NWJS, or it's a bug.

I suggest reporting it:

github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues

I mean you're asking me if a line that doesn't exist is still true, not sure how I can help with that. All I can see is the manual and I cannot see this line about user event not required for NW.js.

Hello!

— I was wondering if you have yet to find a way to bypass your fullscreen issue on starting up the game.

I'm having the same complication, having the game require a click (keyboard) input in order to set it to fullscreen.

Would love to hear if there's a fitting solution out there.

Not really: I've added a selection when the game starts between Fullscreen and Windowed, forcing a click of the user, but I know that it isn't the best solution...

Okay! Thanks!
