I'm having trouble when I alt-tab out of the game. Hitting alt-tab shifts focus, but no mouse clicks are honored. When I alt-tab back to the game I cannot interact with it any longer. The only thing I can do when this happens is to use ctl-alt-del to bring up the task manager and kill the game process. I'm running multiple monitors with Display Fusion software, so perhaps there is a conflict there somewhere? Is there a way to run the game in windowed mode rather than full screen?

Thanks.

works fine here on single pc monitor use in windows 10 with no issues, so like you said i'd guess it's an issue with the software your using, hard for the developer to recreate or fix or even plan for unless he uses uses or has access to the same software and setup, but he may reply all the same and offer some advice.

unless it's gives a error code or stands out in the DxDiag report, i'm not sure it can be sorted.

windowed mode maybe, will ask

When you Alt-Tab back, just wait a bit, maybe this is all there is to do.
Or wait and click a bit with the mouse.
At least that is what helps me when I Alt-Tab out of the AI-turn and back into it, or when I Alt-Tab out of a research or report menu (using Win7 64bit).
