Alt tabs usually have to do with individual computers - what happens with yours? Does it crash straight away, or freeze?

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....

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.

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

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.

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. :/

Alt/Tabbing works fine for me too.

 

Tigranes, do you also still use Windows XP?

 

It may be an issue with newer Windows versions?

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.

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. :p

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).
