Game sometimes ignores window settings and boots in fullscreen
lavish osprey
a showcase of the bug, and a fix for it involving a previous version of the game
Remarks:
a. in all cases i'm using Alt+Enter to fullscreen/un-fullscreen. this behaves the same as setting the relevant setting in Options
b. fullscreening in 2.0.3.0 will remember the change. this is when you become "softlocked" to fullscreen mode. unfullscreening in 2.0.3.0 will not remember the change.
c. unfullscreening in 2.0.1.0 will remember the change, undoing the bug.
d. settings are saved when exiting the game after the intro has played and you're in the Main Menu proper.

same thing happens on linux, so it's not a windows exclusive bug.
(to be expected, since both run it on x11)

while the bug is active, the game goes fullscreen in a weird way. notice how normally, it goes directly fullscreen. the bug makes the game be in windowed for the first frames, then it goes into fullscreen as if it were being forced later at runtime. 2.0.1.0, where the bug doesn't happen, stays windowed even after that small delay
