Minimizing to desktop

Post by ool »

Periodically the game minimizes to the desktop. No idea why it does this on its own.

It's going to be something running on your system, taking over the screen focus. Taskmanager can do that, if it's set to "always on top" and I've heard winamp can do funky things, too. There just isn't a routine in the game to give away the focus, or minimise the window.

I routinely run test games over several days, never once happened to me, and none of our testers have reported same.

Disabled "always on top" in task manager. Getting periodically error message "can't exclusive control of the screen". Only thing running in the background is Norton internet security.
