Issues with alt tabbing

[Harrington]

If I alt tab out and back in, the resolution goes out of whack and a chunk of my screen shows my desktop and i can't seem to fix it without having to restart the game. Anyone else having similar issues?

are you running borderless mode? because i alt-tab lots and never have any problems.

UPDATE

It would appear that I am playing fullscreen and each time i alt tab, the game automatically change itself to borderlerless mode which results to the screen being cropped as mentioned above. Any ideas on how to fix it?

where did you select it? i always set it at the launcher instead of ingame.. but if that doesn't work i guess config files? not sure where exactly that setting is though..

Use borderless, full screen is buggy. If you launch in borderless mode it shouldn't throw the screen off kilter and you can tab out all you want.

Same problem i thought it had something to do with the steam overlay but i removed that and it still happens.

I tried switching to borderless mode and adjust the resolution accordingly. Problem solved.

I had the same issue. Game has issues running in full screen. thread is a few pages back.

but basically:

just change to borderless mode and set resolution the same as your desktop resolution and looks the same as full screen. and the game won't muck with your resolution.

I must alt tab every time I run the game, otherwise my resolution is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ and its all blurry, so for me, its fixing the graphics and causing no troubles:D

For me too. I searched specifically for this as I noticed it and wanted an explanation. I figured it was something to do with fullscreen/borderless but I'm not well-versed enough to know why this would sharpen my graphics. I'd love it if someone could explain for me so I don't have to do this silly ritual every time I play.

EDIT: I had my resolution set the same as my desktop AND set to run fullscreen. Changing it from fullscreen to borderless fixed the issue and now my graphics are sharper without having to alt+tab.

Fullscreen mode is bugged, and one thing it fails with is actually setting the correct resolution and limiting to the one below the intended max for the monitor.
