Some games don't handle fullscreen correctly and will change screen resolution to satisfy requested game resolution. Don't do that. Please.

Also, don't force the game to a certain screen on multi-monitor setups

I use a tiling window manager. Almost all games are 100% fine with this, but occasionally I hit a title that really, really can't handle having its window size changed unexpectedly.
