May 28, 201015 yr Well alt tabing dont work or anything that might force your game to minimise so carefull
May 28, 201015 yr Alt tabs usually have to do with individual computers - what happens with yours? Does it crash straight away, or freeze?

May 28, 201015 yr Author freeze's up wont go back to full screen and task manager sais not responding
May 29, 201015 yr Hrm. I've been alt-tabbing multiple times and it works very well for me. As I say, it seems to be a luck of the draw thing....

June 1, 201015 yr for me alt-tabbing doesnt work too. On win7 64 bit it doesnt come back from Desktop, have to kill it through taskmanager and start again.
June 1, 201015 yr I have the same problem, won't get up again once you alt-tab. Also using Win7 x64. TSLRCM, the mod that Wookieepedia doesn't want you to know about: http://www.deadlystream.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=4
June 1, 201015 yr Use performance boosting software to disable all unwanted processes that run in the background, this usually casses bad alt-tabs. I use gamebooster, and my crappy rig can actually alt-tab out of AP with ease. Gamebooster is free, just google it.
June 1, 201015 yr I Who are you "Michael, Mike, Michael, Mike, Michael darling, mr. Thorton, Michael, Mike, Michael, Mike, Michael darling, agent Thorton, Thorton, Thorton, Thorton, Michael Thorton, etc....." "Oh the candy dish! That's right - that's where I left my keys" Heck YEAH!!
June 1, 201015 yr I can alt-tab from any game or app from the last several years but can't alt-tab back into AP after alt-tabbing out - it just won't maximize on the screen and I have to kill the task. Specs: Windows Ultimate 64 i7-930, 12GB RAM ATI 5850 w/latest drivers Asus P6T mb
June 1, 201015 yr This is teh same problem ME1 had. The solution for this is, before doing the ALT + TAB combination, you need to go to options menu. Its not required to do anything, just leave the game there. Now press the alt + tab combination.
June 2, 201015 yr I just run it in windowed mode Thats a workaround... Before Alt-Tabbing switch to windowed mode (Alt+Enter), switch to another application, switch back and to fullscreen (Alt+Enter) again. Works for me.
June 2, 201015 yr alt-tab works flawlessly for me, better than most other games. Fast, reliable, even when I alt-tab out for half an hour or more. Really luck of the draw. :/ Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress)
June 9, 201015 yr Alt/Tabbing works fine for me too. Tigranes, do you also still use Windows XP? It may be an issue with newer Windows versions? ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created. At least top 5.

June 10, 201015 yr Not being able to alt-tab is FAIL. When it works with every other game I've bought. I'm not buying "it's your system" crap. I've got a very high end system.
June 11, 201015 yr Alt-tab is extremely unpredictable and is really a blind bet on a game-by-game, system-by-system basis. High end system helps but guarantees nothing. You were lucky with your other games, while you are not with this one. Others can alt tab just fine with AP. This is the case for most PC games out there.

June 11, 201015 yr I have been crappy system, but I have absolutely no problem Alt-tabbing. IN fact, alt-tabbing got me out of a few freezes.
June 11, 201015 yr If you want to be safe from alt-tabbing freezes, run the game in windowed mode. Thats what I do.
June 13, 201015 yr This is teh same problem ME1 had.The solution for this is, before doing the ALT + TAB combination, you need to go to options menu. Its not required to do anything, just leave the game there. Now press the alt + tab combination. I couldn't alt-tab either without it crashing(win7 64bit),but that solution worked great,thanks.
June 13, 201015 yr To be honest I only expect alt tab problems with old games these days. Sadly it's yet another thing pointing at terribly optimised console port.
June 14, 201015 yr So that's why Empire: Total War had alt tab problems for a lot of people.... terribly optimised console port. Oh wait...

June 15, 201015 yr So that's why Empire: Total War had alt tab problems for a lot of people.... terribly optimised console port. Oh wait... I'll give you the issues with TW (not that I play it). I stand by what I said about AP's alt tab issues being due to its console roots though. Lack of any real eyecandy, designed for a game pad, built for an environment where you don't multi-task (ticking a lot of boxes).
