Alt+Tab
Hi
I have 2 accounts. Occasionally I will switch between accounts for whatever reason. So I would log out then back to the log in screen then Alt+Tab out to get my password for my second account. I just tried it and Alt+Tab doesn't work, it goes to a blank screen. I have to keep hitting keys until the game finally closes.
It's not a major thing, I can quit the game and log back in that way but I was just wondering if you might know what the problem is. It worked fine until today's patch.

"most MMOs"?Change your game to be displayed in "Windowed - Fullscreen" and not just "Fullscreen" if you have it in legitimate Fullscreen mode and not Windowed Fullscreen, in most MMOs, it results in a black screen and you have to use the Task Manager to close the game.
I rarely need to use 'windowed FS', only in FFXI/FFXIV where SE don't know how to allow ALT-TAB without their clients crashing. I run ESO in 'full' mode on 3 PCs and ALT-TAB quite happily, so per se that isn't a problem.Edited by Kragorn on March 4, 2015 7:44AM5

✭✭✭✭✭This is bad, as I use Copy and Paste for my password (it's quite complex) but I frequently have other passwords copied to my clipboard. So, I use Alt Tab quite often to grab my password. I will try this in an hour when I get home.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

Ok, I'll try that. I tried shutting the computer completely down but that didn't help. But I also found out by messing around that if I just go back to the character select screen instead of going back to the log in name/password screen that Alt+Tab works ok there. Just a matter of tabbing out, getting password, bringing the character select screen back up and then going back to the log in screen.
I'll try yours in a little bit and let you know how it works. Thanks for responding.0 -

Changed it to Windowed- Fullscreen and that works. Thanks0
