alt tab issue - Not Espi - 03-02-2010
well theres this thing. i dont know if anyone else has this problem.
i play and alt tab to check skype etc, but after that the game wont get back to fullscreen. it acts like its loading up for a brief period of time but then it just goes back to the desktop/browser/skype etc.
anyone knows how to deal with this?

If you have Windows 7, then perhaps like me, you have click the minimized freelancer icon, and then quickly click on the loading part aswell. If that wouldn't work, no idea how you should get it working.

interesting way of solving things:D
it works but still id rather have it just load up and stay there.
cheers for now though

Vista 64 (and most likely everything above XP) has an alt tabbing issue with Skype. If you alt tab out of the game, onto the Skype main screen then try to get back into Freelancer from the Skype screen it tries to load then goes back to the Skype screen. Simply minimize Skype before going back into Freelancer and it should be fine.
