I don't really know if this belongs here or rather into the Tech Support section, but I have problems with alt-tabing out of the game in Windows 7! The brightness of the desktop gets all screwed up and the mouse is locked. The only solution is using alt-tab to move back in and continue TDM...

My workaround for this is to use CTRL+ALT+Delete, and minimize TDM from the task manager. That gives you normal windows use until you click on TDM in the taskbar again. But it would be nice just to be able to alt+tab.

NagaHuntress recently submitted a patch that'll fix the problem for Linux in TDM 2.04. Looking at the code, it seems to prevent the fullscreen setting taking complete control of the keyboard and mouse etc. Does anyone know how the equivalent would be done in Windows? I don't mind trying it out if anyone can start me off on the right track.

 

I suspect the brightness/gamma problem is separate. I sometimes get that even when TDM is running in windowed mode, which lets you alt+tab normally.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!
