Has anyone seen any video or any information about alt-tabbing out of the game? I really hope it isn't like COD: MW3 for the PC where it doesn't even allow you to alt-tab out of their game. I also want to be able to alt-tab and not have to worry about my game crashing or have to wait 2 minutes for it to unfreeze like TF2 used to be.

Bf3 had a fantastic alt+tab thing when it first launched - it never crashed and it was instantaneous. Even alt+f4 worked flawlessly. Then they patched the game a bit and 50% time alt+tab crashed the game and it was nowhere near instantaneous when it worked. even alt+f4 stopped working properly..
"I want a borderless, fullscreen windowed mode. It seems that almost all new games have that feature. It's really nice." ^this would be sweet..

BF3 alt-tab works flawlessly for me, use it all the time to set up music between matches. I'm on kind of a newer rig though, if that matters. I'm... not surprised, more amused by the fact that CoD won't let you alt-tab. What a PoS game :-P

After playing Dota2, which has terrible alt-tab support, I'd like to say that I really hope Forge Light has good tabbing support.
On that note, isn't Forge Light already deployed in EverQuest 2? So, you could just ask them how well alt-tabbing works. |

I hope you can easily minimize from alt+tabbing in fullscreen, I can't stand the way fullscreen borderless uses my monitor's brightness instead of the game's. Plus in a game with good graphics and 2000 people I don't want frame drops.

With as much talk of the metagame they have been bringing up one would hope so. Not to mention the heavy use 3rd party voice chat, etc. I would think alt-tabbing would be a big consideration during development. Let's hope so...
I also wonder about the use of a second monitor. Some games let you have a second screen active, while others black it out. |

If a game uses the full-screen window there is a slight performance penalty, and also an additional frame of input lag in Windows 7.

Wait, if you ran full window with multiple monitors wouldn't you run into a mouse runover issue? Anytime I have done this it never fails I will lose window focus during a frantic firefight because my cursor ran to the adjacent screen. :/
