Hey @Menex777
Have you tried to disable the (Origin, discord) overlay?
This solved most of the time this issue.
It runs better now, thank you.
No switches / minimizing so far. I'll just keep these settings for now. Cheers.
I was wrong. It keeps happening ☹️
Hey @Menex777
Can you do a clean bootand see if you are still getting this issue?
Disabling notifications in Windows
What also could be a fix is disabling your Notifications .
Press your windows key and open settings.Now click on System, there you will find Notifications & actions
Try to turn off the apps that minimize your game with notifications.
Just to repeat, I'm running Windows 7.
The only "app" that creates this minimization, is Origin. There is no other software running. I am the admin on this computer. No such action is allowed on my machine. There are no other notifications made than that from the Origin program.
I really think this is a bigger issue than it might seem. And here is why.
When I play the game, and I shoot down a flying dino carrying a case, the following happens:
The case drops. And the game shows the GAMETAG on that box, of the most current user that pop-up:ed as online or offline.
Yes. You read that right. The dino loot box, gets the name of the user who's name most recently popped up in the Origin notification window. As if it was a death-box.
That cannot be Windows related. Origin related, yup. But not Windows related.
Doing a clean boot has little to do with the code of the software, if any. I really don't see the purpose of that. This is very unlikely Windows related. That sounds far-fetched.
I went a bit futher today, and instead of just inactivating Origin in-game, I've deactivated all chat, friend activity and game messages. I'm hoping that will help sort the issue for now.
It seems these functions cannot be active for the game to run as prompted, at least for the moment being. It wasn't like this before.
Again, thanks for a great game, your suggestions, and a caring support and community. I really appreciate it. ❤️
