  • I-Sim4ever_80  Are you playing in DirectX 9 or 11 mode?  You can see it in the lower-right corner of the Main Menu, after the version number.  If you're using DX11, switching back to DX9 (in the graphics options) should help, although you then wouldn't get the benefits of DX11 mode.

    Please also post in this DX11 feedback thread saying that you can't tab out:
