Possible Alt + Tab issues

System Config:

i5 4670k

GTX 770 (drivers: 344.75)

8gb ram

Win 8.1

1920x1080

Hello, I had an issue where I could not switch between party members (can't control party members) this seemed to happen after I came back from an ALT+TAB, the way I fixed it was to exit to main menu then reload my save.

another one I ALT+TAB'd then when I went back into the game it was frozen, nothing moved(just a static image) and no buttons worked, I had to exit the game by clicking X of the game window.

I tried to Alt and tab several times but it was still frozen, it might be worth mentioning that Origin had just finished downloading a bf4 dlc and switched to downloading another game when this happened.. right after that I Alt tabbed.

on the other hand... thanks for the great game.

    @Sicarius3432 Hi,

    Thanks for the detailed heads up. Have you tried running the game in windowed mode or borderless window (handy if you have two monitors) to see whether you still experience these issues then?

    Cheers,

    Nils

    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply, these issues happened randomly... meaning sometimes Alt tabbing just works with no issues ingame afterwards but some times this happens, so its not a 100% chance of occurance. so if I try to recreate them they may or may not happen.

    I'm using one monitor, and I haven't tried running in either of these modes before though. I doubt this issue will occur in windowed mode since its something to do with alt tabing from fullscreen into the desktop and back.

    I just tried windowed mode and switched between applications and started and closed some programs then went back to the game window and no issues,

    tried fullscreen again and tried to alt tab and start and close other programs had no issues this time, so thats why I said its random.

    I just wanted to let you know about it, I'll just try to avoid alt tabbing as much as I can.

    Thanks and Take care.
