Has anyone experienced this issue where you will be playing a game and it drops out to the desktop minimizing the game. I can click it from the taskbar and find my mech off in whatever direction I was headed last which sucks because it usually means I am in the middle of something bad. I have never had this problem until this recent patch. No error logs because the game is not crashing.

It sounds to me like the game is behaving properly: lacking other control input, a 'mech left to its own devices will hold its course and speed until it runs into something it can't bypass, gets killed, or OOBs and dies.

If you need to tab out of the game for a moment (I sometimes do if Pandora spits out something particularly hideous), either hit X first or plan for where your 'mech is going to be by the time the game restores.

Haven't seen this one, is it tending to happen with no keyboard input, or while you're mashing the buttons wildly? do you leave ad-spawning programs (spotify is notorious for me, at least in some games) running in the background?
