@stiinkymann This is a known issue with DX11.

Are you using DX11 ? If so, try if it works in DX9.

Want to add that I also have this issue with DX11. This has been happening since the option to opt-in was first introduced to the game (I forgot the patch number but I remember it was in May). I had to remove the -dx11 from my game.

Now that it's in the game I decided to try it again, but I can't alt+tab out of the game again (running full windowed version). Selecting the DX9 option in the main menu fixed it for me.

But ngl I'm a bit bummed. I really want to run the game with DX11 but if alt+tab doesn't work that's not going to work for me.
