Hackers Caught: 15
Default

Ah, that’s the perfect solution but I can tell you why I didn’t think of it.

I have an old Dell 8400 dimension series that is in dire need of replacement. I find that if I’m playing in the default mode (that I have come so used to) the video default has always been; “Full Screen.” While playing in this mode, if I use alt+tab to escape the game, it can take a minute or more before I successfully escape and have access to another option. Currently it takes me approximately 10 minutes to successfully process then submit the demo and return to my game.

If I have video running; “run in window” the alt+tab instantly changes but then my gaming success dramatically drops because the view is smaller hence I cant see opponents as well. I have tried numerous resolution settings but none seem to duplicate the Full Screen view

I have come to realize that I might have to sacrifice my gaming success to have the ability to process demos efficiently.

I’m looking forward to the day I can upgrade my pc. Sure appreciate the great tip!
