Hello guys

I been playing this game since the start. One problem than i keep getting are that when i alt + tab out of the game, it frequently goes into windowed mode.

had that happen some. the fix is alt enter when you go back in though. if you're looking for something better i think you're out of luck.

I've had this happen all the time too, i don't think there's a workaround. It is good that there is a alt+enter shortcut to switch between modes though.

you can run the game in borderless window mode might solve the problme since then its technically in window mode.

just go to properties steam launch options and put

-nomovies -window -fullwindow -forceactive -lockmouse (thanks schewi couldn't remember the order of the words. mouselock or lockmouse)

future reference

-lockmouse

This. Also ctrl+alt+deling solves the problem where you can't get back into the game window by alt-tabbing again and the mouse cursor doesn't activate the window.

Well the ctrl + alt + delete is working very good so far..
I have made a temporary fix enabling my logitech keyboard G1 og G2 to this:

G1 = Ctrl+alt+del
G2 = Esc

Then when i search, i only need to click these two buttons ;)
