saltorio Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I have an odd issue when I've tried fullscreen windowed, in that even if I ALT+Tab, the game's viewport remains visible and can't be minimized, nor can any windows be displayed over top of it. Essentially, it's the game with my taskbar visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thradar Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) In Sw: TOR is pretty clunky it hangs for 30 seconds before I can do anything any one else have this problem? No. Dual monitors, TOR running in windowed mode (maximized). There's really no reason not be running dual monitors theses days. A nice LCD costs less than the collectors edition of the game.

BigLuvins Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 As others have said. Maximized (Window Mode) is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evray Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Yeah, this happens or sometimes if I tab out, everything in my web browser goes black and I cant see anything but I can touch it, also if I have say like my web browser up, then minimize it, it immediately goes back to the game, not the desktop, as if the game itself 'is' the desktop. Its like Swtor took over my computer and is slowly taking control... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHauntingBard Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 As others have said. Maximized (Window Mode) is the way to go. This isn't nice for the FPS though. But yes OP I run this game on a beast of a rig and still alt tabbing takes a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuriostone Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) No. Dual monitors, TOR running in windowed mode (maximized). There's really no reason not be running dual monitors theses days. A nice LCD costs less than the collectors edition of the game. Too bad the game doesn't constrain the cursor in fullscreen mode when you have a second monitor, causing a click on the right quickslot bar to minimize the game. all my rage EDIT: and yes, windowed (fullscreen) doesn't minimize correctly on my system.

Hound_Archon Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I have exactly the same issue as Saltorio when I try to run it in windowed/maximized mode: "even if I ALT+Tab, the game's viewport remains visible and can't be minimized, nor can any windows be displayed over top of it. Essentially, it's the game with my taskbar visible." Could be related to Windows 7, perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Questions to those of us having issues (as I mentioned above) with Fullscreen Windowed not minimizing properly: nVidia or ATISingle or Multi-MonitorOS version I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on an EVGA GeForce HD GTX 570 Superclocked with the latest release drivers, dual-monitors. -REMOVED DUE TO MISUNDERSTANDING- Edited January 4, 2012 by saltorio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuriostone Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 And to the person stating there's no reason these day to run more than one monitor, I think you'll find he said there's no reason NOT to run dual monitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derkiederk Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 The issue with fullscreen windowed mode not minimizing properly is fixed as soon as you restart the game for the first time after changing the setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logiick Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 No. Dual monitors, TOR running in windowed mode (maximized). There's really no reason not be running dual monitors theses days. A nice LCD costs less than the collectors edition of the game. Doing the same here. No issues. Last night I raided in WoW and leveled SWTOR at the same time.
