I am looking for a way to exit the game while playing so i can check in the forums for a walkthrough. Alt-tab does not work. Any other method to safely minimize the game?

ALT+Enter switches between full screen and windowed mode, and when in windowed mode you can alt+tab ok. The problem is it takes quite a long time to switch when you have a mission in progress.

 

Another workaround that works on Windows in full screen mode is:

CTRL+ALT+DELETE > Task manager > Applications tab > right-click "TheDarkMod" and choose minimize.

 

That works instantly, although it's a few extra clicks. Then when done with the forum, you click on the game on your taskbar, and it'll re-open in full screen.

Thanks everyone. I will use Steve's method (CTRL+ALT+DELETE) since it is the fastest

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
