I'm not sure, but I think since 1.16 I don't think alt-tab lags the game up for everyone else. Can anyone confirm this?

It always has.

Why does anyone use alt-tab? You can just use alt-esc to minimize the game...

No, Whenever someone minimized the game before everyone could tell and it lagged a whole bunch(1vs1 obs games would always have some loser who did this). I think the CPU usage change had something to do with this.

Depends on who did it, I was able to do it before without anyone noticing.

Maybe it has to do with the new patch's upgrades?
"-now only uses as much CPU as it needs to run smoothly."

why not only pressing "windows"
lol... easiest way, I'm using it

and by the way: when you re-max the game it causes some sound bugs. thats damn annoying

i use windows key to minimize the screen, but when i maximize again, the pixels and everything else screws up. once the view looked like yoshi's avatar.(sort of) i think fox told me that alt+tab was to correct this. i use minimize+close to stop lagg. works for some crazy reason. dont try it though, if you arent carefull, you could end up quitting the game.

Are you serious about that Alt+Esc?! Wow, I must test that soon
I sometimes get the samething, not always, though...
