The game won't 'full screen'

Not sure if this is a known bug or not, but I'd appreciate some help.

I loaded up the game yesterday to tweak the settings before the early access began. 

When the game loads it only takes up half of the screen, as if it's displaying in portrait mode instead of landscape (pic 1).

I've checked my display settings on my monitor (pic 3), all good. The in game settings are normal as well(pic 2), except for the refresh rate being locked to 0.03hz for some reason. 

I don't know why it's doing it, and I can't seem to change it. The only work around I've found is to set the game to windowed, but then I still have the tool bar and border at the top showing, not very immersive...

And for some reason, clicking on the desktop actually makes the game full screen, but then clicking anything else takes it back to the half screen. Video attached.

I don't know if you need this, but: recently upgraded to win11, 3080ti, Ryzen 9 5900x, 32gb ddr4 ram, Asus strix b550-f mobo, plenty of power and plenty of storage.

  • Came to launch the game today, and it's done it again. Seems like DDU and reinstalling drivers was a temporary fix. I'm not doing that every time I want to play the game!

    This is the way. Thanks for the assistance Vortex.

    The monitor firmware didn't do anything. Must have been a dodgy driver installation?

    I was able to correct this problem by using DDU to uninstall my video card drivers and did a clean install.  I also installed a monitor driver from the manufacturer at the same time.  Not sure which was the fix, but I have no issues being full screen on Native resolution. Idk why all of my other games worked fine. But solved now.

    I've tried each setting in game (full screen, windowed and borderless). None of them display correctly.
