RadJames Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 So I recently got back to my dads, and been trying to play GMOD, all of a sudden if a game is fullscreen it constantly tabs me out when clicking on it! (Not just gmod, all games) I need to rapidly tap the game often with both 2 fingers too tab back in, I searched all over the internet and nothing has been working, so i turn to you guys! ALSO my game crashes if i try to take gmod out of fullscreen! I don't know if this is the right place to ask. Link to comment
Conrad Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Check what you video setting to see if you're in borderless/regular window. Switch between the two and see if any of those work better. Link to comment
RadJames Posted August 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 now when i click on the game it says "HDMI - 1" and then my screen goes black and fixes back to my desk top Link to comment
Conrad Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 So thats not a gmod issue thats a issue with your computer. I would check your inputs on your computer as well as the display settings and make sure everythings right. Link to comment
Guac Posted August 17, 2021 Forum Admin Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) Might sound stupid, but unplug and replug all of your display devices in the order of priority/use. After, ensure your primary game display is listed as the 1 monitor. If that doesn't work, go to Garrys Mod in steam. Click on settings, properties, general, then scroll to launch options; type in "-sw" which should set your display to windowed mode upon launch. See if that changes anything.

Also make sure your OS is up to date and make sure there’s no Windows defender notifications or anything.

RadJames Posted August 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Alright, ill do these when i get home Link to comment
RadJames Posted August 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 still broken unfortunately, but now its sorta fixed? I now just need to click on the game and quickly tap when i see the game show up Link to comment
Maverick Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 If you are able to set it to windowed mode and play that way, i would suggest doing so till you able to fix any hardware issues you may have. If the issue is isolated to Garry's Mod specifically, then i suggest a complete and fresh reinstall, Verify integrity of Game cache, install any addons you have, then reverify once more. You would probably get better performance and should help with the ALT-Tabbing a bit. Make sure you don't have other applications up that have priority over performance so that it knocks you out of games. I recommend if you can use it, getting Razer cortex game booster. For me personally it shuts down or stops processes that are unnecessary during gaming time and helps with the ALT-Tabbing out issue you are experiencing. Razer Cortex Razer Cortex also has a defragger for your games and can help clear out unneeded files/temporary files that you can delete. @ImaJames Please let me know if any of this information helps or answers any of your questions.
