Allurapre Posted November 25, 2024 Report Posted November 25, 2024 I really don't think this is a bug, I think it's just something weird that is happening and I'm wondering if anyone knows why? First off my pc specs exceed the minimum requirement to play. Also I am playing version 1.19.8. The weirdness is as I am playing my game will suddenly throw me to the desktop. My game has not crashed and when I click in the taskbar to go back to it, the game is paused as if I hit esc. So not sure what is happening but it can be really annoying and it is not tied to anything I'm doing in game atm, it's totally random. Anyway thank you for any help or suggestions I can try. Also I really new to the game.

Hmmmm, try checking to see if you're running in Windowed or Fullscreen mode. You might try Fullscreen + Always On Top; my guess is that while you're playing the mouse might not be locked to the primary screen, and you might be moving the cursor off-screen for some clicks without realizing. Setting the mode to "Always On Top" will keeping the game maximized even if this happens. If that is the case, there's probably a better way to fix it, though I'm not sure exactly how. The other thing you might check is the Windows taskbar settings, assuming you're playing on a Windows machine. That's if the game minimizes when you click the specific part of the screen where the Windows taskbar would otherwise be. I think I had an issue with that once, and the most I recall is playing around with the taskbar settings until I got it fixed.
