Title: New computer.
Post by: Bish on April 08, 2013, 09:32:19 PM
So I got a new Gaming rig, I have ARMA 2, Everytime I get into a game I can play for around 10 minutes, then the game losses the settings and for some reason goes into a sort of background mode, it takes me to desktop, but it is still ingame and I have to tab out to even close the darn thing.  Idk what to do.

Maybe you accidentally made a hotkey to your background that you keep using? (Happened to me)

specs plz
  Well I will tell you this, it is not a problem with the specs.  It runs Crysis 3 on max settings.  And no the hot key thing... it just does it on its own, I have to tab out and close it... It sends me to desktop as if I where there, but it is not in background or tabbed out, it just simply hides itself and makes me close it.

The fact it's a "good enough" pc to run crysis 3 makes it more likely that something is causing your things to fuck up, no one can help you without hardware/software specs

With 'background thing', do you by any chance mean that Windows Aero turns off?
