This happened when I alt+tab:ed during a game on Warlord :

I couldn't see any buildings, scenery, terrain, enemies, friendlies or any vehicles so I had to restart.

You notice when its a bad idea to alt+tab when the game repeatedly starts up the game again.. You can still try by spamming alttab and 'windows' key, but yeah, its a bad idea

Hmmm.......that funny, I've never had this problem before. I usally don't alt-tab that much though, just to change the music playing in the background.

Try alt-tabbing when BF2 is still starting up. The entire menu goes purple/yellow/green and nothing works

One time when I alt+tab'd, I completely lost my HUD. Crosshair an all. It is very hard to be a gunner in a heli when you have no crosshair.

wow you ignorant shit, it's just what happens to the renderer when you alt+tab. It has nothing to do with my pc. But hey, I guess you don't even know what a videocard is anyway.

I do it all the time, your comp just sucks, or you got unlucky and your game decided to be an asshole

I had some pretty good luck alt tabbing one time.

alt+tab'd out of a game to turn on my music (happens a lot, usually works just fine), but when I brought it back up, all the buildings were gone but I could see like everyone. Of course it was hard fighting cause I couldnt see the buildings so I'd smash into those every now and then, but I could see the enemy running through the alleys and such. Was pretty awesome.

Its a good thing my computer is shit because it crashed after a few minutes XD

only bad thing alt tab does for me is it stops showing the flags on the hud.

Hit alt again and it will solve that problem, by hitting alt it takes away all the flags and where they are.
Basically its just like using your head to guess which flag was taken.
After you hit alt+tab. Then you come back into the game, hit alt again. And the flags will come back

I Alt+Tab many times a day to get in the admin-CC-tool... But I get no issues...
I feel sorry for you (not joking). Maybe it is, because I play on lower graphics... Who knows?
