Music / Sounds play again after alt+tab
« on: February 19, 2012, 10:59:52 AM »

Hi,
I've come across a weird behaviour.
I press ESC, my pause menu is loaded and goes system exclusive mode so all music and sounds are paused. It's ok. I press alt+ tab to switch to another application and then press alt + tab again to switch back to the game. And all music / sounds start playing even though the system exclusive menu is still active... It's something I definitely don't want to occur.

Is there a way of solving that problem?

I hope so...

Thanks!

Has anybody come across the same problem?

I dont think you should bother spending time figuring this out. A lot of games don't handle the alt tab thing properly because why spend time doing that when the game is designed for a  person to play the game in full without switching back and forth.

How is that handled on iOS? Does iOS "freeze" the app automatically when minimizing?

Cool. I mean I know the fadeout stuff, but I did not know it is done automagically ;)
