This problem has existed since the first build and far from fix it, is increasingly worse. In the last two builds, in full screen mode, all the times I do ALT + tab, all (100%), I can't go back to the game. I think at this stage should be a high priority fix this once and for all.
Yes, it should have been fixed long time ago (And yes, DD, we know it's possible to do windowed full screen, but that cuts FPS to half, and not everyone has got a GTX980) byyyyyyyyyye
Is that with a clean install? I had the problem but not in this build, in fact it's worked flawlessly. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
Yeah the alt-tab problem is terrible and always has been. Last night I read this by 'Ari Antero' on his website, have not tried it but sounds like miracle solution. Use multiple desktops to avoid having to pres alt-tab in the first place....
Yes, I have a clear installation, like always do. The problem is inside the game, not in menus. ISI should fix this, they can not expect that we look for solutions like the multiple desktops. It is an error of his software and they should resolve it.
I can alt-tab about 3-4 times... on the last time the game can still be heard but it won't come up from the taskbar again, forcing process quit.
Bloody hell I had no idea it would decrease fps that much! I guess we learn something every day, goodbye windowed mode
Pretty much describes my experience. Build 880 seemed to be worse in this regard (e.g. almost never could alt-tab successfully) and the one prior to it was the best (10+ alt-tabs successful). Haven't tried it yet in Build 906. All recollections are using the 64-bit client.
Maybe it works for you, Gijs, but I'm afraid it's not the case for many others, me included. I have been using this option for several builds and feel comfortable with it, but makes no difference; I just got used to avoid alt-tabbing, but don't like, at all! byyyyyyyye
Room still running fullspeed Multi tasking. Look at the capture in picture viewer window, 145fps And fullscreen is 145fps Unless you think i get 290fps
I never had the issue in rf1... ever. do have it now. However there was a solution on a wiki... a setting in config.ini or something? i can't find the site or the setting now. but it worked to fix it for me.
I never need to alt-tab out of full screen. I use windowed mode if i need to switch between programs. But i can't use TS in the background without rF2 going to desktop... Did a quick google search, and alt-tab out of full screen is a know issue with games in general. http://www.howtogeek.com/181761/why-pc-games-struggle-with-alttab-and-how-to-fix-it/ But it seems it's a needed feature with rF2 users. So, ... +1
The first solution is to remove all plugins, especially those that require a modified d3d9.dll (TrackMap).
