Alt-tab freezes everything

Post by ItWasJustified »

When I press alt+tab to get back to windows (changing music, doing other stuff, etc) I can't get back to EHM and I can't click on anything. The only solution is to log off and log in to my windows user. It's pretty annoying and I have not had this problem with any other steam games.

Try switching to borderless window and setting the resolution of the game to your computer's native resolution.

Well, the borderless window worked, but I prefer to play in fullscreen. But I guess this works for now.

Borderless window is for all intents and purposes fullscreen. It simply makes the game run in a window that fits the inside of the window to the entire screen.
