alt tab + game freeze + sound continues
 

im currently using dual monitor, when i switch from EQ (WindowMode) to facebook or any other application, it will cause the game to freeze up (sometimes), but i can still hear spells and the sounds from the game.

any idea's on how to prevent the freezing? it gets quite annoying when i switch to facebook or netflix.


just a little info on the rig i am using;

Win7 64bit
Quad core - set the launcher to a single core to prevent other issues
Nvidia 250 GTS ( latest driver )

try going back to your EQ window and hitting Alt+enter... that will make EQ full screen and usually the graphics will reappear/reset.

The same thing as you are describing happens on my computer sometimes... I think it is something to do with the graphics card's capabilities. For example, if I open Google Chrome, there is usually no graphics freeze in EQ, but if I open another game, say Diablo 2, then when I alt tab back to EQ it is just black... then when I alt tab, graphics restored.

thanks, i will give this a go!
hopefully it works, that would save me so much time!

Cant use dual monitors for fullscreen unless you just change the resolution for your EQ window to fit the screen in windowed mode or use winEQ
