Can't alt-tab

Unread post by Rinzler »

My computer black screens every time I try and alt-tab. Anyone have a potential fix?

Thanks

Awesome thanks. That worked - however when I alt-enter back into the game my controls freeze.

If your PC can handle it, play in windowed-full screen mode as opposed to Full Screen mode.

Go into your options menu and then I believe it's under Graphics but I can't recall. Set it to Window Full Screen mode, you will be able to Alt Tab once you have it set.

For some reason when I do that I can't move the camera by using the cursor on the edge of the screen. I've tried restarting the game with Window mode and it didn't help. Is there a fix for that? I appreciate the help either way.

Edge-turning doesn't work in Windowed mode, I think. I had problems with it too.
