rockmedic109 -> Alt-TAB (7/8/2014 5:26:40 PM)

Someone mentioned Alt-TABing while running a game causes graphic glitches. Does it cause any problems beyond temporary ones when going back into the game? I've been Alt-TABing since WITP came out. I've never noticed any lasting problems. The only problems I've seen are when a window is up in the game and you alt-TAB back, it takes a little longer to come back, and sometimes comes back with an all dark screen {which can be solved by hitting ESC to get out of the window} and sometimes being slow when alt-TABing back to game during a turn {when paused to show combat results}. Faster computers {and possibly more memory} seem to reduce the latter. I play on a laptop and I've noticed that it seems faster to return when plugged into the wall at home than when I plug into an inverter at work {I work on an ambulance and play AE between calls}. I am assuming that the CPU slows down because it is getting less power from the inverter.
