Alt-Tab works if I have another application or webpage open but this was not the case pre-patch.

My only workaround is to bring up task manager in order to get to the desktop.

Exactly the same, can't alt-tab out unless something else is running.

Try switching between full screen and full screen windowed in the options to see if that helps.

Same here! DX 11 is selected at the moment.

Switching to full window allows you to minmize the window. But would really prefer full screen.

I may add that my secondary monitor (that I use to se TS/skype) now completely goes black; before this patch it was viewable without any hassle, even with the primary in fullscreen mode.

I don't know what to say, I've even re-downloaded the game (not for this patch but the previous one) so I don't have anything like .cfg files and such and this happens with dx11. I'll try to go back to dx9 the next time.

issues.

you cant screenshot with prnt screen/paste anymore, you get black screenshot screen.

if you screenshot with msi afterburner with game up you get windows desktop screenshot instead.

ingame screenshot however does put into user folder and that does work.

dx11 you can not use msi afterburner to record in dx11 anymore.

i too can not use alt-tab anymore - need to use ctrl-alt-del and pull up task manager in win7 / 8that way for it to work.
