Alt+Tabbing out/in fades the screen

While playing, i often have something going in the background. Lately, the last two weeks or so, when i alt+tab out to switch things, coming back in, the screen is faded to a whiter or grayer shade. It's ONLY the game, and it doesn't matter if i alt+tab back in or use the tray icon. Nothing i do, aside from exiting to desktop and restarting the game, seems to fix this.

Is anyone else having this issue?

    When I tab out it minimizes the game screen, then it pops back up when I tab back in, no issues with fading or anything... no idea what could be causing that, sorry.

    neither do i. The card is up to date and the issue only started within the last little bit. The game looks fine, it's just very faded.

    It's driving me nuts.

    I'm running two monitors and have the game full-screen, if that makes any difference...

    Might be something in the game's video settings.

    i might have to check. I'm on a 4k tv, instead of a monitor, so i know a lot of older games don't like that. Star Trek Online ALSO tends to get weird at the 4k settings.

    Yeah, you may have to dial back the resolution a bit for the game.

    I've no experience with 4k so take any advice with a grain of salt.

    after playing with it a bit, it looks to be the fullscreen part. No other game does this but today, it started in when watching videos in full screen, too. I'm really hoping the card isn't going out on me, for the obvious reason.
