Ok have to say, massive improvement accross the board with patch 1.03, only problem i get is when using 1280 x 1024 resolution i cannot alt tab back into windows i get a flickering effect and have to alt F4 it to close it, it works fine with 1024 x 768, but this res looks horrible imo. (L90D+ TFT Monitor) im guessing its a driver issue, ran 77.77 drivers and 78.01 both have the same problem. anyone else getting this????? :confused:

i read somewhere in the readme txt for the new patch that BF2 doesnt support alt + tab.

I run on an X850XT and a 19' LCD and in game is 1280x1024 and i can alt tab out. And my desktop is 1280x1024. Probabaly an Nvidia problem.

I seriously doubt it's a nvidia problem.

If your in game res and desktop res are diffrnet you will have problems alt-tabing.

I dont think so.
Before the patch I was using 1280 x 960 in game and my desktop was 1280 x 1024 and alt-tab worked fine, now I use 1280 x 1024 in game and 1280 x 1024 on my desktop and it still works fine. So that is not the problem.

system specs?

yeah maybe, or maybe more to do with SLI

This is not a solution for your alt+tab problem, but think about using 1280x960, 1280x1024 isn't a 4:3 res.
