Alt-tab issues?

[Dibzahab]

Hi guys,

I've noticed that when I alt-tab from the game (impossible to avoid in a game this deep and with as many diversions as I have), something wonky happens to my keyboard. Everything I type comes out really slow and some keys (start key, for example) don't work at all. When I tab back to the game, sometimes my in-game keys no longer work correctly - eg, I can't use the arrows to scroll the view. I haven't seen any other posts on the issue - is the problem unique to me? If not, are there any known workarounds?

Thanks,
Dibz

The only solution to that problem I'm aware of is playing in windowed mode.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will give it a try.

it's one of the hardest games i've ever found, to tab out of. It's ridiculous.

yeah, alt-tabbing out means I usually relaunch the game.

Amazingly, the problem also exists in Warlock 2. I don't think I will be buying Warlock 3.

I've noticed the alt-tab issue with nearly every game, especially Skyrim, Sim City 4, and Civlization 5. It's not a Warlock specific problem.

Can't speak for SIm City, but I don't have any problem with Skyrim or Civ 5. Warlock is another story--it just doesn't work.
