menendezdiego Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 ...seems like it would be an easy fix...even before the new update comes out. It gets frustrating having to restarta mission simply because my Norton Anti-Virus tells me something. Thanks, Diego
Nate--IRL-- Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 As a temp fix, run in windowed mode with the same resolution as your monitor. Nate Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading
Echonomix Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 steam announcements take focus and crash the sim more than anything else for me lol. I know..... close out steam. I've tried to find a way, but I don't think there is an option in steam to have it not steal focus. It would be great if dcs would detect that and pause the game, and also not crash. asus p7p55d deluxe | intel i5-750 @ stock | g.skill ripjaw 4gb | asus geforce gtx 470 @ stock | trackir 4 | thrustmaster hotas warthog | win7 home premium 64bit
mrsamurai Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 As a temp fix, run in windowed mode with the same resolution as your monitor. Nate I would just suggest doing this normally; in my experience there's been no difference in quality/screen size playing in windowed mode vs. fullscreen. Steam announcements or new email popups won't crash the game either.

MemphisBelle Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Isn't there a performance hit for running in windowed mode? There´s a quite easy trick to run the game windowed while it looks like full screen Mode. Just keep your native resolution and deselect the fullscreen options. Though you got a windowed game while it looks like full screen and you can go to desktop whenever you want to. It works pretty fine with two screens. havent tested it yet with only one screen.

Blaze Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 That's true but there's still a performance decrease running in windowed mode. i7 7700K | 32GB RAM | GTX 1080Ti | Rift CV1 | TM Warthog | Win 10 "There will always be people with a false sense of entitlement.

Shake3000 Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Just so you know, alt-tabbing doesn't crash beta 2.
braden Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 doesnt crash, but doesnt restore either (i.e. game still running and responds to joystick/kb input whilst im staring at my windows background). running trackir and saitek sst s/w, win7 x86 and beta2
Blaze Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 May not crash it but I still can't alt-tab back into the game after tabbing out in full-screen mode. i7 7700K | 32GB RAM | GTX 1080Ti | Rift CV1 | TM Warthog | Win 10 "There will always be people with a false sense of entitlement.

Shake3000 Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Strange, works for me (in full screen mode also).
beers Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 most times alt-tab'ing back into a 3-d application you've got to run through any other open app. I know I always have 3 programs open so I do a 4x alt-tab and i'm good. You might want to experiment with shift-alt-tab, that might get you right back in. 2600K @ 4.2GHz, MSI P67A-GD55, 16GB G.Skill @2133 , GTX 970, Rift, SSD boot & DCS drive [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
