    Tabbing back in lasts 10 seconds

    So everytime I tab out from SWTOR, whether it's to use the calculator or to do literally anything for any amount of time. When I tab back, it goes to the loading screen for about 5-10 seconds then back to the game.

    It's a small annoyance, is there something in the settings that can change this?

    My PC is brand new and pretty high end.

    Try setting it to Windowed (Fullscreen) if there's an option? If you play fullscreen you basically need to pull back all the temp files after you alt-tab, or so. I'm not a tech expert but I guess that is the issue.

    You're welcome man. I guess it depends on how the game client manages temporary files and RAM and it seems like SWTOR is probably freeing up most of it.
