EA Desktop BETA loses focus while in game
While in game (TF2) using the new EA Desktop Beta, the in-game overlay causes you to lose focus and minimizes the game to desktop while playing. This is the same behavior I saw with Origin in-game overlay. For you to understand better, my rig has three monitors: 1 x gaming monitor (center); 2 x regular monitors (one to either side of the gaming monitor). When in game with the overlay on and game in fullscreen, the mouse pointer will appear. As the pointer moves out of the gaming area onto one of the side displays, you click, and the game loses focus, then minimizes to the desktop. Very frustrating during game play. Again, this is the same behavior I've seen in Origin overlay. When I turn it off on Origin, the problem goes away, however, I lose all of the overlay in-game features (naturally). I couldn't readily find the "off" button for the overlay on the EA Desktop, so quit out of it and started using Origin again.
Please note, this usually starts happening after the 1st or 2nd game, the will manifest itself. It can happen on the first match, though. I don't believe this is due to the game (TF2), as the problem goes away as soon as you turn the overlay off. Below is my setup:
Proc: i9-9900k
Mobo: Gigabyte Z390
GPU: EVGA RTX 2080 Ti XC2
RAM: 48GB 3200Mhz
SSD: ADATA 1TB NVMe M.2
PS: EVGA 850w
I'll have our teams take a look. Thanks for taking the time to try the EA Desktop Beta, and sharing your feedback! :-)
