RTW2 unable to reopen window when alt-tabbing to others

[bookwormblackshoe]

Formatted as:

When did you start the game - 1900 or 1920?

What nation were you playing?

Were there any start options that were not the default?

Describe the issue in detail.

What were you doing when the bug occurred?

What did you expect to happen and how was the result you saw different than you expected.

Can you describe how to reproduce the bug?

What version of the game were you playing (v1.00, v1.01, etc)?

Started in 1900.
Playing Germany.
As far as I remember I used all defaults. Perhaps slow aircraft tech?

When I use alt-tab to switch to another window on my computer, I often find I can't reopen the RTW2 game window, either by alt-tab or by clicking its icon on the taskbar. Most recently this happened just after a battle, but it occurs in other times as well.

I expected to simply reopen the window. 

I was not doing anything notable, so you would just have to switch to another tab and back to see the same bug as me.

I am playing v1.25.


Thank you.

Hi!

I've noticed that instead of restoring a full screen, I get a short title bar just above the menu bar (bottom of the svreen). Clicking on this does restore the display.

Yes, this will occur on some machine/OS combinations. This is an odd game-engine issue we have not been able to correct as of yet, but colprice 's suggestion above is a good way to handle this.
