Full Screen Issues

Now, let me first start off by stating that I'm running the game off a laptop with a Radeon Mobility X1400 card and it's got the latest update and the game runs fine and everything but... If I alt-tab out of the game and I try to re-enter, I can't move and no matter what button I push there's some kind of leak where the game keeps running but I'm constantly sent back to the desktop. So it's impossible for me to alt-tab out and then alt-tab in perfectly fine like most other games. I was wondering if that is a client issue or an issue on my side cuz it sucks and this is the only game I've had that problem with. My friends whom are playing as well don't have this problem. If there's a fix out there or some piece of advice that could help I'd greatly appreciate it!

    I had the very same issue, and I'm also running it on a laptop (if only the desktop could handle the game, I'm curious now whether or not this is restricted to laptops). If I were to alt-tab out of the game it would be fine, but as soon as I tried to re-enter the game the screen would flash and the game was frozen. But changing the game from full screen mode to window mode has solved the problem for me, and is actually much easier to minimize and maximize.

    Well. I was playing Windowed mode as well and I was like "hallelujah!" because you know, it was working. BUT! That's not the case, I know it works Windowed mode and I prefer it less than full-screen mode, mainly because I'd like to use my screen for what it was meant for [if you know what I mean lol]. So yeah, I'm wondering if it's either some really small fix or like, *Go to step 50, enter in the code, dance like a monkey, and do a triple backflip* because that would suck lol.

    Oh well, I take it your desktop is outdated compared to the laptop?
