Random in game ALT-TAB

Post by Softy »

My PR started switching to the desktop, not crashing. It's as if I did an Alt-Tab, happens random times. The game doesn't crash I either hit enter or click on the icon In the task bar to return to the game. Which in the heat of a fire fight or gunning a tank could be death. I also took screen shots of my process running if anyone needs to view those.
I'm running Windows 10

Here's my system information :

BF2 has weird handling of windows "focus" events. Nothing we can do about it directly...

Multiple monitors and PR do not mix well.

I have this issue but I didn't know PR was involved.

I also don't have it to the high frequency that you do but again wasn't as big of a problem as it was for you.
I did have other annoying problems like random freezing and slow loading times, but reinstalls fixed that.
I can suggest a reinstall for you if you can't find a solution :P

I don't see how a reinstall is going to help. This isn't a configuration issue.

Alon is right I have re installed several times and still the same issue. I just ran Squad and the same issue happened. So it isnt just PR , some windows setting or something :(
