Javalin Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I've run into a little dilemma. I'm doing a little experiment with Oblivion, asking myself why I find my game crashing or becoming unresponsive after a brief Alt + Tab out. I've found that if the game is run in Windowed mode, then alt+tabbing doesn't seem to affect it at all. The only issue I have, is resizing the window.(Plus I can heighten the graphics quality without a big loss of frame rates. HAPPY DAYS!) Currently a Windows Vista 64bit - But finding myself unable to resize the actual window. Right Clicking the task bar at the bottom does nothing, just puts me back into the game. Tried CTRL+Right Click - Works in a sense, but then I don't want to cascade windows or close groups. So, when playing in windowed mode, I'm cut across my two monitors slightly :P quite an inconvenience. Cheers. Jav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javalin Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 I've just left mine alt-tabbed for 20minutes and it didn't crash. The game is remarkably unstable due to the engine. I hear FO3 is the same, but haven't played it. Hopefully that's fixed in Skyrim, and they add a little bit of realism to it. I.E. I hope I can't sit under the nose of a guard in a dark room without them noticing my presence less than half an inch away from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
