Vanden Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 I Alt-Tab a lot, and I've noticed some weird behavior. Basically, it becomes a lot slower if I do it too quickly. Ordinarily, Alt-Tabbing to another window from CoH will be instant. However, if I then go back to the game and Alt-Tab after only a few seconds, my computer freezes up for a few moments before the window changes. It's usually less than a second, and I can still move the cursor (which changes to the Windows cursor, and I can move it). If it takes a long time to switch over I can even force it to switch by hitting Ctrl+Alt+Delete, then cancelling out of that screen, but it's usually not necessary. But anyway, yeah, game starts being reluctant to lose focus if I Alt-Tab too frequently. Anyone else experience that?

SwitchFade Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 This is client side. There are a number of factors that can cause this kind of issue. The only real way to diagnose it is to monitor system events as they are posted during such activity to see what system resource is bogging down.
WanderingAries Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Heh, in an attempt to hit Esc (cancel a power to hit the nearest target) I often end up alt-dying. Something that will help is to go into the Tequila settings and add "-maxinactivefps 5" inside the "Launch Parameters" to reduce the game's FPS to 5 when it's not in the foreground.

Sakai Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 If you hit ESC it cancels the next power you have clicked on? I can't count the times I hit my next big AoE only to realize the first one did the job half way through.

I can't count the times I hit my next big AoE only to realize the first one did the job half way through. There are also the Cancel Power and Unqueue Power hotkeys you can set in Keymapping, that are helpful with stuff like that (if you didn't already know).
Sakai Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I had no idea thank you. now to keep the info in my brain while playing. 😃
