Disconnecting while Alt-Tabbing

[Daxen]

So almost everytime i Alt-Tab during loading screen i get disconnected. Is this gonna be fixed soon or what?

I think its an issue on your side, I alt-tab like crazy all the time, always have and i have never noticed this.

[meshugine]

never happen to me but it happens to my friend all the time

can it be a addon?

[Bizarro]

I happens to me pretty frequently. It seems if I'm alt tabbed for more than a minute or two it boots me off. An addon could be a culprit but I've suspected that it was one of the new features in the advanced video settings that allow you to adjust max background and foreground FPS. Not sure what as I haven't been motivated enough to really play around with it but I'm guessing something with that might make certain setups freak out a little.

This happens to me, too.

My game used to crash every time I alt-tabbed out. The problem was DBM. Now I only keep DBM enabled when in a raid and just don't alt tab (during the raid).

Happens to me and my wife everytime.

Seems like more people have the problem:

"Thanks for all the info all. It looks like alt+tabbing on computers with certain hardware will cause these disconnects. We are working on a fix for this and it should be available in a future patch. The workaround to this is to avoid alt+tabbing or playing in windowed mode. "

This happens to me alot lately, only when alt+tabbing during a flight-taxi and while auto-running.

I get d/c'd from alt tabbing during flight at the landing points. So far I think it's probably something to do with the changing state of your character during these events.

[Arcilux]

It only happens to me when on the loading screen, I ahve never dc/d from alt-tabbing except when logging into a character, so I just stopped alt-tabbing during login. Even then, if I stay alt-tabbed long enough it doesn't disconnect me usually. If it takes you so long to login you can't go without alt-tabbing then I think it is time to get a new computer/internet connection

DBM prevent me from inspecting AND diconnect me when I alt tab out on loading screen

Problem: DBM
Solutions: Bigwigs, DeusEx boss mods lol (love bigwigs now)

just read the blue post so maybe it wasnt dbm finally.

[Tobley]

If this is a boss mods problem, Deus Vox causes it as well.
I can not inspect people except right after logging in (typically) and my client crashes if i Alt tab during a loading screen or flight path.
Again, I'm using DXE.

[Jarbreaker]

I always DC when I alt-tab as I land from a flight path or from load screens. Doesnt matter how long im tabbed out as long as im back on the screen before my bird lands. Only since patch and I dont raid so not many addons.
