Game Stops when Alt Tabing to Desktop

This is more a comfort problem, when I switch to Desktop from PR the game stops/freezes, so I cant for example Alt Tab, when I am auto joining a server, which would be nice, because I dont want to see this 5 seconds clock down all over again, or also while loading it would be nice to switch to Desktop.

You get my problem, so is there any fix for this ? Because my friend doesnt have this problem. I think I have read anywhere that you can put something like -nofreeze behind the shortcut path, but I havent found anything regarding this problem. So yeah I hope you know a solution, but if not it wouldn?t be a disaster, because as I said it is just a kind of comfort problem :mrgreen:

I think this is what you have.

Though, I am also really sure that when you install PR, it will ask you if you want to install this fix.

Anyways, give it a god

I already have this fix installed, that fix is more for crashes but I just would like the game to go on in the background while im on desktop, it isnt a huge problem for me it just would be cool if I could go on desktop and browse or anything, when I for example try to auto join a server, so I dont have to spectate that timer all over again and can meanwhile do something else ^^ ... btw one of my friends doesnt "suffer" that problem

PS.: tried it anyways, but doesnt work ... as expected ^^

Now I have another problem, it works exactly how I want, I can now go on deskop and the game goes on on desktop, but when I start PR in windowed mode (through putting + fullscreen 0 +szx 1680 +szy 1050 behind the shortcut path), all the Text of the game is moved a few Centimeters down and it is awkward if I try to click them, I have to click slightly above the buttons, also I dont see the sprint bar, compass and ammunition count, how can I fix that ?

Better reinstall the game.

Install BF2 and RESTART PC then install patch 1.41/1.5 and PR.

I had this problem too and solved like this.
