I have been having this strange issue where the game client keep putting the game as Background and prevents me from interacting with the menu in Full Screen mode.
Is there a way to set the system to window mode or will I be forever stuck in Full Screen mode due to not being able to itneract with the game client's main menu?
Is the new client broken?

03-02-2018, 05:23 AMZojhaMy money is on the latter - I am having a similar issue with a Radeon card. I think it's just the hotfix jumbling something - it stopped from one day to the other with that being the only change. A bunch of other people already reported in in the Technical Issue forums as well, so... fingers crossed?Quote:

Ya.... it seems the newest update to Nvidia has royally messed up the graphic card system to the point clients are not functioning properly.
Until the people working on the Nvidia updates provide a fix to the current issue no one will be able to play any client based games if they have the recent update for their Nvidia GeForce graphic card. -

Are you playing through steam? Disable the steam overlay and discord overlay if you use that as well.

You can disable discord overlay in the settings. It is on by default for some reason.
