How it works:

1) Find the installation directory of the game:

2) find mafiadefinitiveedition.exe > Right click > Properties

3) Compatibility Tab > Tick Disable Full Screen Optimization > Apply

Windowed Mode Method

If disabling fullscreen optimization didn’t solve the issue, you can try launching the game in windowed mode instead:

1) Right-click the game in your Steam Library and go to Properties or click on setting icon

2) In the General tab, find the LAUNCH OPTIONS box and add the following command:

-popupwindow

3) The game will now launch in windowed mode. You can press ALT+Enter or switch to fullscreen in settings, but be aware: it will likely freeze the next time you launch. If that happens, end the task in Task Manager and reopen the game, you’ll need to repeat this every time.

ALT+TAB Method

If you get a black screen or the game freezes on launch, try pressing ALT+TAB several times to switch between windows. After a few attempts, the game may resume and finish loading normally.

Thank you! I was getting so frustrated and thought I'd see if others had this issue.

MercifulFury... All good now. Thanks for this and the reply.

Worked.

After changing the launch options (and disabling fullscreen optimizations), the game starts in windowed mode. I just had to disable the "Bordas da Janela" option in the settings.

It might say "Borderless" if your game is in English. Mine is in Brazilian Portuguese.

Thanks @MercifulFary

@Dallas @bologna
I’ve updated the guide and added two more solutions. Give them a try and let me know if they work for you!

doesn't work for me

Thank you I'll give it a go, I actually followed the above again and this time it worked. Last time I tried it it freaked out on me! I also recommend running it as admin I heard that makes a difference "run this program as administrator"

@Seductive Goblin

Sounds like a scaling issue. Try this:

In NVIDIA Control Panel > Adjust desktop size and position, set scaling to Full-screen, check “Override the scaling mode set by games and programs”, and apply.

Also, right-click the game .exe → Properties > Compatibility > Change high DPI settings → check “Override high DPI scaling” and set it to Application.

Make sure your desktop and in-game resolution match.

This should help with the stretched characters.

Seductive Goblin 2.7. klo 11.11

This happens to me no matter what I do - but If I try enough I usually eventually get in. But even at the correct resolution the game makes the characters seem stretched and shorter.
