Alt-Tabbing Into Lag

[FlaMe]

Is there anyway I can alt-tab out of paintball and not be a laggy mess when i open it back up?
 
Whenever I alt-tab or Start button out of paintball and re-open it i get like 32 fps which is mad annoying from my like 500 before than...
 
Suggestions?

Solution: Don't Alt+Tab or use the Start Button.

Question...

What are my alternatives for exiting fullscreen?

[Zorchenhimer]

Code: [Select]

vid_fullscreen 0

That in the console.

Or uncheck the Fullscreen box under Video Options.

if your not in full screen then just hit console and your out of the game

make sure you have s_primary 0
also, instead of alt tabbing, try hitting alt+enter, then either alt+tab or bring up the console to free your mouse from the window.  just alt+enter again when you're ready to resume full screen.  i had the same problem as you for awhile, and a vid_restart would always fix it for me (done automatically when you hit alt+enter, but not when you alt+tab)
