Alt-tab issue

Hi there,

ALT TAB is not working. When I'm "alt-tabing" returning to the game the screen remains full black. Only one solution: press ESC to end (crash?) the game. This dosn't make it easy to read the manual at the same time ... (and no, I don't have a printer)

Is this a known issue? Any solution ?

Other question: is it possible to play in a window?

thanks

windows mode: ....\BTR.exe" -w

it is known...it is not a crash, it has something to do with refresh rates.
move your mouse pointer or press one of the shortcuts

Swift, many thanks for your.. swift response ;-). I am now able to play the tutorial thanks to the windows mode (no alt-tab issue in windows mode) !

I have improved the alt-tab redraw code. It is effective in 90% of the cases, but there are some places I could not fix. I will detail this with the patch notes when we push it out.

Well, I actually use Alt-Tab most of the time to get rid of the spinning disc... instead of Save. The screen is black but if you mouse around the radio buttons start showing up. Click on one that is harmless and the screen will come back. Sometimes it just comes back with the mousing. Not a biggie and it sounds like it will soon be fixed.
