Guest Mike Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 Now I know a lot of yuo are going to ask, wll so what - what do yuo want to get out of the game for anyway?? But alas some of us mave sligly less fanaticism than others!! So why can't I alt-tab out of the game when it is running (ie any time when there is part of eth map displayed, whether the computer is "thinking" or not)?? I can alt-tab from the various pre-game menus OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titan Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 ALT-TAB dont work for me either,or the esc key.I can drop the game no worries but generaly it hangs or locks up when i try to bring it up.I have to close the program all together By the way Mike would you like a game,39 campaign my email panzer@xtra.co.nz It would be good since we are on same time zone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 ALT-TAB does get locked by DirectX on win9X/ME machines while on 2000 and XP it does not. The ESC key should work as a viable alternative although it may be a bit stingy with this during AI turns. Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also just try leaving the Start bar visible at the bottom. Narayan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
