Can't ALT+TAB from editor

Recommended Posts

I hit alt+tab & editor freezes. Hit alt+tab again and i go to desktop and right back into editor. Please someone help. I can't script like this.

I tried changing keyboards. Don't know what else to do.

Thanks, Del

BTW, alt+tab doesn"t work in other Apps either.

Make sure your OFP resolution is set lower than your desktop resolution.

I also lost ability to alt+tab out of the game. Of course I had it before, and I'm sure I lost it because I've so polluted a game with all that mods and enhacements and addons, so maybe this is also your problem.

One more thing; I just tried what Staos is suggesting and I've discovered that I can't change even an OFP resolution anymore; the moment I try to change it it CTD.  tounge2.gif

Time for a thorough spring cleaning ...

higher works well too.

Another option is to run OFP in window mode. It allows for faster alt-tabbing since the display does not have to reset.

goto control panel > users > change the way users log on and log off > then untick "show the welcome screen". this will also disable fast switching but then when you press ctrl+alt+delete you get a the normal NT whateveryouwanttocallit screen. then when your in OFP, alt+tab, ctrl+alt+delete and then close that screen. you should be miniminzed out from OFP

well thats what i used to do, you can give it a go whistle.gif

1.05? That must have been a few years ago... Lol.

Look at the title.

OPERATION FLASHPOINT not ARMED ASSAULT!

Anyways, I can always alt tab from editor. But not from in-game... Depending what map and addons are in the mission.

Try just closing all unneeded apps in background, might help a bit.
