Alt-tab Out Of Game

[ROMAN]

How can I tab out of the game without having to completely quit the game if I need to open up a another window like Discord/Operagx?

I saw the NVSE mod but after adding it to the files I still can't tab out mid game and etc.

Have you tried SHIFT+TAB before ALT+TABBING? Ive had luck with that before. Strange though, mine ALT+TABs out fine.

I just don't alt-tab. One of the stability mods (I think NVSE?) breaks alt-tabbing completely but it's required for me to even get the game to run. Just gotta live with it, I use my phone when I hear discord notifications if I'm playing the game

Alt tab has always broken Bethesda engine games, from morrowind to new Vegas to Skyrim. They all are fixed with a script extender plugin, but by default you don't alt tab these games

Play borderless windowed mode with OneTweak. You can alt-tab just fine with it while sacrificing a bit on the performance part.

If you are running an nVidia GPU, the flip mode instructions should be your ultimate goal.

I did end up getting the NVSE and other mods to work but the only problem now is that the discord overlay now breaks the game. I can aim around and zoom in but i cant use any key binds or etc. I just end up having to leave the game entirely since i cant move :(

only issue here is what i mentioned a minute ago which basically i cant alt tab with discord overlay enabled which is annoying since i talk to people quite often and use it to stream to others or end stream
This also allows me to alt-tab out of the window since i cant do it even with Stewie teaks/NVSE

Unless you use borderless window or a script extender fix, alt tab can do many things ranging from crashing the game to breaking scripts (In which case you don't even notice anything is broken until an NPC gets stuck in a loop or a quest breaks).

SE might be fine, I don't remember what they changed in the renderer.

Thank you. I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to figure this out. You are awesome. Sorry for necro but I couldn't comment on your profile saying thank you. Alt+Tab now works exactly as advertised.
