Longtime, ongoing issues with alt+tab

I don't think I'm going to be shocking anybody to say that this game has issues with alt+tab or window switching out of full screen mode in general. Of particular note is when you're alt+tabbing in lobbies / waiting for a game, then the game starts and you (sometimes) have the game locked in the free-camera mode where mouse movement shifts your view around. To fix it, you must alt tab out and back in again quickly. This was actually something that occurred in the first game too, and I can only assume it is a problem in some deep dark recess of the engine that carried across from COH1.

The second problem is that under similar conditions, when you press "shift" to give a queued order the steam overlay comes up and then goes away, intercepting any UI events in the meantime. You give the order again, and then the game goes on as normal after this point.

I'm sure everyone has experienced these things, my 2v2 partner and I have been since the game launched, so I assume Relic is aware of it?

For the first issue you only have to press alt. Dont need to alttab out of the game.

But both issues are quite annoying

I had the same problems but when I used the launch options -nowindow etc, it pretty much solved itself for me at least.

Google Coh2 launch options and you should find a link to this site with all the info you need to use the launch options :)

If you're already using them and still have that problem, I can't help you sadly..

The second problem seems to be a general Steam issue. It happens in pretty much all my games.
