To best describe it, its a bug that makes planes fly weird after you Alt+Tab the game to quickly do something else (like changing music, playing video etc)
What it does, is that when you fly a plane, it quickly changes the flight trajectory which mostly ends with a crash to the ground.
One would think, that it just pulls the plane down because they are also being steered by mouse, and that would make sense right?
Well it doesnt, because it happens even after pressing escape button which would make steering impossible.
And well even the paratrooper planes are affected by it!
You see it flying, alt + tab, and then quickly turn the game on back and you see the plane going upwards for a brief period of time instead of in straight line, and the first paratrooper to jump from such of a tilted plane gets insta killed by a “suicide”
Whats weird is also that I couldn’t see it happen in replays but maybe I could try recording it while in game if you would be interested.
It was happening to me lots of times but never really bothered me enough to write about it, never seen anyone talking about it so I always thought that it is just my issue as well.
And well sometimes it doesn’t happen, but most of the time it does.
have you tried just opening the map and pressing alt and then doing your things? ive never pressed alt tab so ive not seen it happen yet
Yep, happened to me many times. Now I avoid doing so when I am in a plane.
nah, never, I wounder if it would be any different from Escape
Then Im not alone in this, good to know
One solution is to open the menu before pressing Alt+Tab
Will remember, still, its too weird that paratrooper plane gets affected by it
well escape would be faster but when you do come back you’ll be looking at the map and see where you can go based on where your team is at lol
i just use borderless window mode … i hit escape or map and just move my cursor over to my other screen to do the things. havent really used alt tab since i went multi-monitor.
