Game Pausing on ALT + TAB

Not sure if it was stated before, and it's likely not a bug either, but everytime I alt + tab and open back the game it freezes for a second, I asked other people and the same is happening to them since the new update, is this a setting? Can I disable it? It's barely noticeable but since I do multitask a lot it's been bugging me a bit.

    Huh. I'm not having the issue - and yes, I'm alt tabbing frequently through the hours I play (AND I'm dealing with satellite connection). What platform and server are you on?

    I should add that I have 2 screens so perhaps that's making things better for me?

    I'm on PC/NA, but It's not a latency issue, it's the game itself, I just realized it only happens on true fullscreen mode, so I switched to windowed fullscreen, not sure which one you were using when you tested it.

    I only use windowed fullscreen. I have an issue with vertigo, and a fullscreen game display causes me some - um - very serious issues. I have to have some "blank space" around the game window.....

    Greetings,

    After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic, as it's troubleshooting on the PC platform.

    Thank you for your understanding

    This is likely because the game continues to run but the client doesn't exactly update everything while alt+tabbed, so when you go back to it, it does a lot all at once to sort of catch up. Your comp may lag from this, but it doesn't have anything to do with connection or servers.
