Deactivate "Split View"?

Hey. Did you get this sorted? I’m having the same issue on my MacBook and it’s made gameplay impossible. I tried retina settings, split view isn’t an option on mine, tried full screen windowed etc. nothing helps!!

When did this appear for you? You must have changed a setting in System Settings > Desktop & Dock or maybe you hooked your Mac up to an external display at some point? 

What are your settings? Please post a screenshot of this part of System Settings > Desktop & Dock.

Hi. Thanks so much for the reply. I    honestly am not sure if anything has been changed. Mine currently look like the attached screenshot. I've done two updates to my OS. It's currently on Tahoe 26.3.1 and it's been doing this windowed thing for about two months now.  I    haven't connected it to an external display either. it just showed the grey title bar one day and it hasn't gone away since. The game settings are all as should be which is the fullscreen, retina etc. I've changed them to see and then changed them back and it's still there.

Thanks :) Could you change the settings I've put a red box around so they match mine. Then restart your Mac then load the game and see if you still have the issue?

Bluebellflora​ it's still stuck with the grey title bar 😩😩

Very strange. Do you have Game Mode enabled?  https://support.apple.com/en-gb/105118 

Bluebellflora​ omg I  thought we were onto something with that… it was enabled but now I did Game mode off and it’s STILL there. Even with it possibly being a MacOs thing, I don’t understand why it won’t go away no matter what I do!!

Yep, it is odd and I haven't managed to repro on my Mac. Could you zip up your TS4 folder and upload it somewhere and PM me the download link? I'd like to test it in my game.
