Random Minimizing

Having installed the PC version of the game via DVD onto a Windows 8 OS (with patch 1.02 installed), I find that every couple of minutes, the game minimizes itself several times in quick succession (the cycle goes: game minimizes, I maximize it, it minimizes again- so on and so forth). However, then the game works just fine for a few minutes, only for the cycle to start up again.

Considering that this occurs even in combat, and that the game doesn't actually pause while minimized, it's been more than a little frustrating.

Anyone have any ideas?

  • Could be interference from another program. I used to have similar issues with the AVG virus scanner, which is why I switched to Avast.

    If you have a virus scanner running, make sure it's set to silent gaming mode (if it has that option). Alternatively, disable the virus scanner temporarily to see if that fixes the issue.
