Help: Game Minimizing on its own during game play

WildSide

Hello, i have been enjoying the game with the launch of unlimited, but i am having an issue that is hindering my ability to play the game. The game will randomly minimize when i click on the screen to swing my weapons. It has gotten me killed on multiple occasions as i will be fighting and then the game will minimize and by the time i can get it open again im dead.

I have searched the forums here and elsewhere trying to find a solution for this but so far nothing has worked. I have tried running my antivirus in "silent mode" to prevent it from having any popups that could be causing the PC to swap to desktop, and this has not solved the problem.

It almost always occurs when i click the mouse to attack, although it does occur while i am in dialog with npcs, or when clicking things in the menus. It is as if my mouse clicks THROUGH the game and clicks on the desktop behind it and minimizes the game window. This occurs in Fullscreen AND windowed (fullscreen) mode. I have not had it happen in plain windowed mode yet, but the game flickers constantly while fighting in this mode as if it is still being clicked outside of.

I am at a lose as to what else could be causing this, and would appreciate any help!

    i was able to finally fix this by selecting "Troubleshoot Compatibility" when i right clicked on the desktop icon for the game. I ran the troubleshooter, and it suggested running in windows xp service pack 2 compatibility mode, and this has seemed to completely solve the issue!

    Do you have another program that captures keypresses or mouse buttons for macros or some such running? I know you stated that Compatibility mode fixed the issue for you, but my curiosity requires that I ask.
