How To Fix Issue With DOTA 2 Not Going Fullscreen On Mac

General · October 9, 2014

Recently on my MacBook Pro when I launched DOTA 2, the dock was showing and the menu bar, buttons were being cut-off and the game was hard to use. The issue seems to stem from how Steam sometimes launches the game client.

The fix is rather simple and worked for me.

  1. Open up the Steam client
  2. Click the Library tab
  3. Right click on Dota 2
  4. Select Properties
  5. Click on the General tab (it should be selected by default)
  6. Click on the “Set Launch Options” button
  7. In the box that pops up enter -fullscreen
