Possible bug when switching to desktop.

[Jim Taggart]

Didn't see anyone talking about this so this might be an isolated/hardware specific case.

So the issue is that I cannot accept the game after being on the desktop.
When a game is found I try to switch back into the game, but the CS2 window just quickly shows and closes when trying to press accept.
Then when i fail to join the game i cannot open CS2 window anymore, and i have to force close and start the game again.

I have the latest CS2, the latest Nvidia driver, my monitor is a g-sync compatible TUF Gaming VG27AQML1A which could contribute to the problem and latest Windows build.
If anyone has the same problem or a fix, I would like to know.
Both windows and CS2 i use native resolution for a reference.
Trying a windowed mode to see if that works...

Thanks.

no idea what tabbing out on desktop means, if you'd explain by using correct terms, i'd be able to give you more details about the bug.

For the fourth day after the update, the game has been crashing for a huge number of people. Sorry for my bad English))) Google translate)))

Well seems to be working now, maybe because after update, who knows. Edit: nope, disabled gsync to see if it helps. see last comment.

is on your side, i always use alt tab watching something else while games searching with no issues to accept

the game just crashes sometimes when you tab out and back in too fast, and while it's loading, nothing new honestly, has been like that for ages in csgo (at least for me)

TLDR: I have now disabled g-sync completely to see if that helps,
because the bug is still happening.

Long version:
After playing for a while i press alt + tab to do other stuff like browsing steam market etc.
But when i try to open the CS2 from the background the game is just unresponsive and when i try to click or move my mouse the game screen flashes between desktop and cs2 and then finally throws me to the desktop, and i can't use alt+tab second time to even open the game screen, and i have to force close and restart.

Thanks for the feedback tho, trying to solve this if anyone else experiences this in the future. Never has happened to me and i have playing for years...
