Alt Tab Removes HUD

Post by Rezza »

Me and my friend Hyra have been trying out the 1.0 BETA.

Whenever we alt tab out of the game after we go back we lose our HUD's in the game completely so no menus appear until a restart of Project Reality 1.0 BETA.

Its a very disturbing issue as it renders gameplay inaccessible. We both run on Windows 8 64 bit. I was wondering if that was the problem.

Its win8. This also happens to a few people on 0.98. I suggest running it in windowed mode. Also tabbing in and out a few times can fix it

Yeah, it's related to Win8. There's another thread about it here: https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f26-pr ... spawn.html

That is weird. On Project Reality .98 we didn't have this issue at all...

Yeah it has to be related to 1.0 in some way because I never had this issue before.

Making the game run as an admin and making it run in the compability of windows 7 doesn't help. Still lost my HUD when the game alt tab itself due to Prmumble.

It's a BF2 bug in combination with Win8.
It's there since 0.98 and at the moment there is nothing we can do about it. Sorry.
