Recently started happening to me, whenever i seem to alt tab i'm disconnected by the time i go back into the game no matter how short or long I've been tabbed out.
{Glitch} Alt tabbing makes you Disconnect
@scheefinator Its not bad advice. I'm providing a suggestion that is a solution to the problem. Personally I don't dc when I alt tab from full screen and yes full screen is better, obviously. If you notice any significant performance drop just revert back to full screen. Just depends on your system.
@logansdadtoo But that´s not the problem here. I get that disconnect mid-playing. Of course, that´s not a problem during this test, cause I am aware that this can happen, but it´s not caused by the idle timer. But for me it wasn´t even tabbing out. Last one just while I was carrying a chest back to my ship.
@skraft-nm said in {Glitch} Alt tabbing makes you Disconnect:
@moist-nugg enable background apps for all xbox apps and microsoft store. then restart the game.
that worked for me.I have that all enabled and it still disconnects me every g*****n time I alt tab
Maybe a bit old of a post but I have the same Alt-Tab issue if, in the video settings, I set the resolution to 'Native' = disconnects every time. However, using the 'Recommended' resolution Alt-Tab works fine when the window I switch to is on another monitor. I can type this post, monitor the game and switch back and forth BUT as soon as I drag this browser to the monitor where the game is active then the game minimizes and disconnects.
Hope this helps.
@el-espectro-0 I don't care to run in windowed mode especially windowed w/border. I'm fine with my working solution and just wanted to share with others that might benefit from it. Thank you, though.
