[Advisory] Task Manager in the Background

[WanderingAries]

Ok, so it's not a game bug and it's a quick thing for the rare event that it is.

 

I decided to check the memory usage of the game today (well that and see if the 64bit was working) by having the Task manager in the upper right corner of my screen. For reference, I also have my Win7 Taskbar on the top, the Task Manager is enlarged (covering 40% of the screen), Task Manager set to always on top (likely the issue). When I was done walking around checking out the memory usage (roughly 1.8-1.9Gb in AP on Ultra) I decided to quit the game. Or so I tried. I went to the menu, dropped down to Quit and the game goes to the background but still there. Tried it twice and same thing. Then it dawned on me that for each time the Task Manager was coming into focus. Remembering my settings of said app, I closed it and the game then will close normally.

 

Note: I've never tested this before and tried to quit, so it's probably not related to the game itself or the latest patch.
