BUG of ALT+TAB

Post by linshuhao »

If I'm in the game.
When I use ALT+TAB to see something outside PR.
When I back, There is many things disappear.
I don't know why...
I think it is a bug.

Is it only happen with my system?Windows8 64bit.

It's best to hit the ESC key first and return to the PR screen. Then ALT-TAB.
Shouldn't have any problems that way.

It's a windows 8 issue. Most people that run Windows 8 get the no hud bug. Don't know if it's fixable.

I had the same problem as most with alt-tabbing with windows 8 here is how i fixed it...
Run in windowed mode (game actually runs better) then go here

Play all your games in Windowed borderless mode. - Steam Users' Forums

Download that follow the steps and done. You have a borderless windowed mode that you can alt-tab with no problems. The only problem i had was the window size was strange, my native res is 1360x768. My problem was that the bottom of the main menu was cut off. So i changed the resolution to 1360x735 through the pr launcher. Works great looks like a full screen game, runs smoother and i can alt-tab :-P

Those using W8 that get this issue. When you alt tab back in and your HUD is gone you have to ctrl+alt+delete out and click on the little arrow. You might have to do this more than once, but it will eventually fix the HUD.

I think I don't use ALT+TAB is OK.But sometimes some other things maybe make my game gone and become desktop and I still can back to game again.But on that time,there will be the same as ALT+TAB.
