    The fullscreen option does nothing but run starmade in a windowed mode and when I select borderless window it runs the game in a borderless window but the hotbar disappears, making the game unplayable in anything but windowed mode. I tried multiple different setting for graphics etc. but ended up with the same results.

    please make sure the screen resolution is possible to run in full screen, this "full-screen not working" is usually related to the OpenGL API rejecting the resolution.

    Please check your logs, and possibly upload the log.txt.0 here (as zip) when you tried a matching resolution and checked full screen, the log should then list all possible resolutions.
    (However, some "multi-monitor" setups generally fail to allow full-screen, but this is most likely fixed by updating the drivers.)

    Edit:
    Nevermind it works, turns out i'm a dumbass who can't read and tell the difference between 1920x1080 and 1920x1200

    My screen is 1920x1080 and starmade is set to 1920x1080, just tried setting starmade to a lower res and the fullscreen option worked and the hotbar doesn't disappear. But that doesn't make any sense considering my screen resolution is at 1920x1080. I attached the log file after looking through it but couldn't find anything on possible resolutions.

    hm, looks like something went wrong:

    [2015-07-15 00:56:03] ----------------------------------------------------------------
    [2015-07-15 00:56:03] G_RESOLUTION 1600 x 900
    [2015-07-15 00:56:03] ----------------------------------------------------------------
    [2015-07-15 00:56:03] G_FULLSCREEN false
    [2015-07-15 00:56:03] ----------------------------------------------------------------
    however, game executed setting accordingly.

    [2015-07-15 00:56:03] FULLSCREEN false; 1600 / 900
    [2015-07-15 00:56:03] ARB_SUPPORTED COULD NOT BE RETRIEVED
    [2015-07-15 00:56:03] [GLFRAME] MULTISAMPLE!!! CHANGING PIXEL FORMAT!
    [2015-07-15 00:56:04] [DISPLAY] ViewPort for Resolution: 1600x900: 1600, 900

    [2015-07-15 00:56:04] [GLFrame] Open-GL initialized
    Hm, please try adjusting the resolution and full screen in the launcher, or set them ingame, it should work then.
