    Screen not updating properly after I Alt+Tab.


    When I ALT + TAB, it's stuck in its last frame. It's still open on the screen but shows the last thing that it showed before I ALT + TAB'd out of it, and I have to Alt Tab again to update it or wait a few seconds.been happening for quite a while.

    alt tabbing increases system performance?

    Skyrim doesnt work correctly you alt tab, but if you alt tab to it again while the screen is black, it loads up with the windows cursor over the top. If i repeatedly do this, eventually it fullscreens properly without issues. Slightly weird.

    There are also games that put the game in PAUSE when you alt tab them and when you get back they remain PAUSED until you unpause it yourself. Great way of properly coded games taht prevent you from getting killed because the game continues to run when minimized...

    Only had this issue on cracked sky rim and batman

    To everyone else thank you for your input... Many of these theories crossed my mind... +thanks ... This is cross.platform which points to game coding more then.CPU/GPU right?
