That's.. a new one..

Like, normally when I hear bethesda and alt-tab it's usually because the game crashes right after but never have I heard of this happening.

Do you run the game in fullscreen mode?

Had this happen before.

Can't say exactly what fixed it but you can try finding these lines:
iSize H=*
iSize W=*
where * is whatever resolution is listed
and set to:
iSize H=1080
iSize W=1920
Set in the .ini files in C:\Users\{username}\Document\MyGames\Fallout4

The only file I found that had iSize values was Fallout4Prefs.ini and this file already had :

iSize H=1080
iSize W=1920

My game is still going the same thing. Always switching to 720p on ALT TAB and launch, despite that the game and desktop are both 1080p

The only advice I can give is Never Alt-Tab a Bethesda game... Literally not enough care is given to stability or function by Bethesda to craft a game that remains stable thru an Alt-Tab, much less so if it has mods running. If you need to check a chat or wiki or something, have your phone or lappy open beside you. Trust me... Pick your battles on this one.

I figured out running the game in windowed borderless worked great for this and even wrote a script to bind a key to minimize and maximize the game:




If !(A_IsAdmin || RegExMatch(DllCall("GetCommandLine", "str"), " /restart(?!\S)")) {
Try {
If A_IsCompiled
Run *RunAs "%A_ScriptFullPath%" /restart
Else Run *RunAs "%A_AhkPath%" /restart "%A_ScriptFullPath%"
}
ExitApp
}

Settimer, CloseCheck, 1000
Window := "ahk_exe Fallout4.exe"

=::
WinGet, MinMaxState, MinMax, % Window
if (MinMaxState == 1)
PostMessage, 0x0112, 0xF020,,, % Window
Else {
WinMaximize, % Window
WinMaximize, % Window
}
return

CloseCheck:
If !WinExist(Window)
ExitApp
return

Because information is still relevant to those who seek it, even years later. This whole anti-necro movement is stupid. You can unsubscribe if you like, otherwise let the information stay for people who need it!

Anti-necro now qualifies as a "movement" ? Cool !!

Can we get hats and t-shirts?
