Game keeps tabbing out to desktop
Any thoughts why the game would be fine for awhile and then it tabs out to the desktop and crashes. It has done this 4 times already and there was no problem this morning I updated a newer version of AVG anti-virus (9.0). Could that be the problem?

Re: Game keeps tabbing out to desktop
Yes I also installed AVG free v9, got the same problem as you so I uninstalled it, and it solved the problem.
When I used alt -tab when the problem manifested itself an application called "avg web browser" or something was visible, perhaps a clue to the nature of the problem.Last edited by devaZtation; 11-17-2009 at 12:02 PM.

Re: Game keeps tabbing out to desktop
I've been hearing this from loads of people who all say they have just upgraded to AVG 9. They say it happens at the top and bottom of the hour precisely.
Apparently their solution was to ditch it. there's probably a better one however.

Good to know. Uninstalled AVG 9.0 and ZoneAlarm firewall. Back to McAfee Security Suite for now. I hope AVG fixes this problem.

Re: Game keeps tabbing out to desktop
I have the same problem. tonight it is CONSTANTLY kicking to the desktop on me. A friend recommended that i try turning off the auto update, because avast apparently tries to update frequently. Gonna try it in a little bit after i log off a diff game
Have you guys tried this? or tried disabling the shields for a short period?
Silent/Gaming Mode doesnt do anything to fix it.
Ill post back if i figure anything out

Re: Game keeps tabbing out to desktop
I have avast and don't have this prblem with it.
My monitor is 1440 x 900 which is not supported by the game. This solution I found worked for me.
Create a shortcut to the game.
Right click and select properties.
You'll see Target. At the end of the field type +widescreen 1 +szx 1440 +szy 900 (or what ever your resolution is). There should be a space between the final " and your first +
Doesn't stop alt-tab crashes though.Proud to have been a member of the E1st
