DisplayFusion will reload the taskbar when the resolution changes as it has to remove/re-add the taskbar to update the work area with Windows. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#13 Mon, 27 May 2019 09:20:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#13 DisplayFusion It is, yes.
It's a non standard resolution -> 1280x720 or 1680x1050, while the monitor/desktop is at 1920x1080. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#12 Tue, 21 May 2019 16:39:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#12 DisplayFusion Is the game set to a different resolution than the desktop? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#11 Mon, 20 May 2019 09:49:34 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#11 DisplayFusion Yep, that does seem to have resolved it partially.
When I alt+tab into the game it seems fine.
When I alt+tab out of the game the taskbar stops/crashes and reloads.

Edit: Hmm.. although this doesn't happen constantly. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#10 Fri, 17 May 2019 17:50:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#10 DisplayFusion Ok, if you disable that (and remove the Compatibility rule), does it make any difference? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#9 Fri, 17 May 2019 06:15:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#9 DisplayFusion Hi

Yes, it's enabled. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#8 Thu, 16 May 2019 19:37:14 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#8 DisplayFusion On the Settings > Taskbar tab, is the "Allow taskbar reloading while full screen..." option enabled? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#7 Wed, 15 May 2019 18:00:46 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#7 DisplayFusion Ok.. so I tested it.. and indeed this solves the issue, but since the game is alt+tabbed most of the time.. it's not really a solution. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#6 Tue, 14 May 2019 19:03:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#6 DisplayFusion Ah sorry, I mean the "Disable DisplayFusion taskbars while this application is running" option. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#5 Tue, 14 May 2019 15:11:14 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#5 DisplayFusion No such option. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#4 Thu, 09 May 2019 18:29:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#4 DisplayFusion No worries! If you create a rule on the DisplayFusion Settings > Compatibility tab for the game and enable the "Disable multi-monitor taskbar" option in the rule, does that resolve the issue? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#3 Wed, 08 May 2019 18:36:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#3 DisplayFusion Apologies for the delay.. was on vacation

I've reproduced the issue - ~21:32 & 21:35.

File is attached.
It only happens when the game is in fullscreen. Also the alt+tab is quite slow. In windowed mode it's fine, but windowed mode doesn't support resolutions different that the display. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#2 Mon, 22 Apr 2019 16:04:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4#2 DisplayFusion Could you attach a debug log? Here are the steps:

• On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
• Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
• Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
• Reply with the file attached
• Disable debug logging after sending the log

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4 Sun, 21 Apr 2019 09:17:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/game-alttab-issues/?ID=3c811064-bd48-45a7-aba1-55d3bb9bd2b4 DisplayFusion Hi all,

I'm having issues when playing various games in non-windowed mode with resolutions such as 800x600, 1280x720, etc.
This happens for games such as Counter-strike:Global Offensive & Starcraft2.

1. The alt+tab from the game and to the game a very slow (5+ seconds), while they aren't slow when displayfusion is stopped (just tested).
2. When alt+tab tabbing, it seems that displayfusion keeps crashing and restarting and during that period ot removes/adds the taskbar a couple of times on the second monitor. ]]>
