Patch 6 DX11 minimizing/mazimizing/windowing rapidly issue
« on: October 22, 2016, 03:05:34 PM »
During the scenario I was having a lot of mini-maxi-window toggling happening on its own. On a hunch I disabled my screensaver and haven't had it since. Running Win7 x64, the "blank" windows screensaver set to 2 or 3 minutes. I think (guessing) AH isn't taking focus and windows is thinking the PC is idle, and the game freaks out when windows tries to launch the screen saver.

I had this problem too, but I don't even use a screensaver. I went into power management advanced settings and set everything to stay on, use full power, etc. and it went away.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.
