Game will switch to desktop when there is no player's input.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Game will always switch to desktop while there is no player's input (same effect like if you are ALT-TABing). You can't watch cutscenes with that, because game will just "jump" to desktop or screensaver if there is no player's input (mousemoving) for a while.

Game will switch to Desktop only in Fullscreen mode, Windowed doesn't seems to be affected. I also turned all background processes off and let just the important ones (Steam, Arma 3 and nVidia driver app). Problem is still actual though.

Do you have this issue in all screen mods(fullscreen, fullscreen window, window)?

Can you try kill all unnecessary applications before start of Arma III?

Thank you.

If this issue is still relevant in current dev build, please create a new ticket referencing this one and request for it to be re-opened.
