Minimized - Small Bear - 11-20-2012
Occasionally when I'm playing Garry's Mod, my game randomly minimizes, and then cannot be unminimized...
This happens on all the servers I play on, usually when a lot of things are happening at once. For example, somebody is talking on mic to me and two cars just crashed and I'm typing.
The wierd part is, I can still move and talk during this, but I cannot see. I can also hear what is going on...
After this happens, I have to open task manager and shut down Garry's Mod.
Something similar used to happen, where my game minimized. But after a few minutes it unminimizes and I have about a minute of lag spikes, because my game is catching up with what happened while I wasn't in-game.
Any solutions? Or am I doomed to forever be in the curse of this!

What do you mean by minimized? Does the picture on your game get smaller, or does it pop up in a browser? Or anything like that.

It is in a browser, but when I've asked "can you hear me?" people respond with "yes," and if I ask if I'm moving they also say yes. It's like I'm playing but I cannot see what I'm doing. I'm viewing my desktop.

This has occurred to me, It will minimize to a black screen and I can hear sounds, voice chat and actions but when I 'Alt +TAB' to exit and re-enter Garry's Mod it remains black. This can happen at random and the only fix is to terminate the program.
I hope there is a known fix for this issue.

I tend to do this, and it has come so far I have actually just ripped off the windows button. If that's the case, try doing that.(11-20-2012, 08:10 PM)Midget Wrote: What do you mean by minimized?

It could be something with a buffer overflow glitch too, instead of kicking you it just takes you to your desktop, just an idea.

Perhaps, next time it happens I'll try that. Thanks!
