Guys,
Here are two examples apps.
Dota2 and PUBG.
These are fullscreen games. When I press alt+tab from Dota2, it works well. But with PUBG, every time I do the same, the screen goes black and then turns back on just like changing a display source—it sometimes fails. The game becomes undetected and the screen disappears with “no source detected.” Then I have to either switch to desktop, close PUBG and reopen it, or plug the monitor’s power cord back in so the display comes back (I think the issue isn’t with the monitor itself because I still get my display when I switch to desktop).
Is this normal? Anyone can explain this? Hmm

It's only because the game isn't optimized that some engines fail in this way.

Another way to say it is, it's not you, it's not Windows, and it's not your computer. It's pubG.

Are you all PUBG players? Have you experienced the same problem? At first, I assumed it was an issue with my machine, which left me quite frustrated since these are my first high-end setups.

Rofl. I tried it for a while on my phone until I noticed it was just against bots. When I saw real players, I instantly died. I really struggle with pubG—it's almost surprising how bad I am.

LOL same guy, I jumped from the plane, grabbed some items, and then died. For three hours I didn't even kill anyone. That situation really gave me a bad day.

I own PUBG...but I haven't played more than 15 minutes of it, haha. I'm thinking about installing it tonight to check if fullscreen alt-tabbing works the same way, though I doubt it will.

The main issue with pubG imho is the steep learning curve and the unclear distinction between master and meat. Many players complain, but they’re not saying it’s that simple. Those who didn’t quit were still there. What keeps me calm is that it’s free. If I paid $40 for such poor quality, I’d demand a refund.

I tried to follow someone once.  He shot me through the windows and doors of three buildings across town, using a weapon I didn’t even know how to get. The game had just started, so I didn’t have much time.  I believe I had a shotgun.  He must have understood the situation was real, had a weapon that could do it, knew my exact location, and planned the shot.

I really don’t want to remember how much knowledge about a game is needed to do something like this.
