CANT Minimize from Fullscreen on MAC OSX
Hi, just trying to figure out if anyone else has this issue. The game runs fine, and it's linked to my steam account. I can use ther steam overlay by using Shift + Tab and what not to communicate with friends and what not.

Everything about the game works except for minimizing it from fullscreen. When I try to Command + Tab to get to the desktop it doesnt work, when I press F3 to view all my other windows, nothing happens, when I use the Command + F3 to just view my desktop without minimizing any windows, that doesnt work either. Does anyone else have these issues?

MAC OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
4.3 GHz i7
16 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760

(It's a hackintosh build, not a mac bought from the store) So, if anyone has this problem with atraditional mac (or hacintosh) and found a solution please let me know!

Thanks!

Spiral Knights just has issues with minimalizing and on some computer it's not possible for some reason. For example you cannot make it fullscreen again if you minimalized it with Steam Overlay enabled on Windows. That's just a game bug, I suppose; supported by specific GPUs.

As far I'm not desperated enough to use Mac, I cannot suggest any fixes. You must get used to making game windowed each time you want to minimalize. It's actually pretty handy to do.

I never play it in fullscreen mode, maybe that helps.

Grrr thats frustrating. I know I can play it in windowed mode, I just prefer FS. Hopefully they fix that soon.. :v

It's not matter of optimism or pessimism. It's reality. They don't update the game since long time and doubt they will.

its not a matter of reality either, it's sarcasm.

It's actually possible to get back into the game, though the way to do it is awkward. You have to go into the task manager, find Spiral Knights, and use the "switch to" option. It'll pop you back into the game, just takes one extra step.

Kind of annoying to have to do but you're not SOL.
