DX11 stutters and can't Alt-Tab after being in flight for awhile
« on: September 22, 2016, 03:03:29 PM »
After latest patch - Occasional stutters or short screen freezes of 1 second or less while in flight in DX11. The net status looks ok. Also after a few minutes in flight Alt-Tab quits working, the game soldiers on as if I didn't hit the keys.

DX9 works fine for me.

Alt tab doesn't work for me at all in the case of just alt tabbing it doesn't show up anywhere on my desktop or in the tasklist as an app for me to get back in. I then have to go to task manager and end aces high as a task.

HOWEVER, if i launch 'Web Page Help' off the clipgboard/map in the game and that takes me out of the game, I can then alt tab back in normally and AH shows up on the alt tab task manager.
not sure if that helps at all.

I was not able to alt-tab with the DX11 version in the Beta but was able to with the DX9 version.  Using the DX9 version  exclusively now.

It would be nice to know if patch 2 fixes the minimizing issue with DX11.

Thanks Kanth!

Yes that is fixed as well because Aces High is now sitting nicely on the taskbar easy to get back into.  I used CTRL Esc (popped the start bar) to drag me out and I can get back in fine.   :rock

Got the patch yesterday.
It fixed the stutter but had two program crashes leading to a windows message that AH has stopped working.
