Tab-Out causes Interfaces to Stop Working

[JoeJoeV12]

I am having a problem where after I tab out, (exit the project reality window to fix mumble) my interfaces no longer appear.

When I run the game after a computer start up, everything works fine. But if I tab out or get an alert that brings me out of the PR window, when I click back on PR, the Caps lock menu, Tab score chart, my compass, the navigational things for helicopters, the spawn screen, etc. no longer appear. The only fix is to restart my computer and never tab out.

Ever since I updated Windows 8 I have been having issues. I have already re-downloaded the game for other issues but I don't know how to fix this one.

Please advise.

Update to 8.1? I'm running PR on W8.1 and never had that kind of problems when alt tab.

I have had the same problem on windows 8.1 . The solution was to turn of compatibility mode. A temporary solution is to press ctrl-alt-del every time you go back into the game, so first back to pr, then ctrl-alt-del and then it goes back to PR with the HUD.

Do you have overlay from some other program running?

Such as fraps etc

Search for the Bf2 alt-tab fix. Replace the renderer.dll file in your Battlefield 2 main directory. Make a backup of the file though. It's an official fix from DICE and it makes alt-tabbing not have a delay.

Thank you, the ctrl-alt-del solved the issue for me. Even though it is an temporary fix it is pretty simple and beats re-starting the game.
