I'm sure other people have mentioned this in the thread too but you should try out Fullscreen Windowed mode. I love it so much after trying it out, you can tab through everything so easily.

On a similar subject though, it seems like retail SC2 is really stressing my computer way more than beta was. Not sure exactly why.

I didn't say it was, I was saying that the statement : "Windowed (Fullscreen) provides the exact same gaming experience as Fullscreen." is not true. There is a performance hit, it is not the same at all.


Everything is the same, your frame rate might drop a little bit. The difrence however between 60 and 55 doesnt matter mutch anyways. For me it didnt since it was capped at 60 anyways.


Those who have crossfire or sli suffer an insane performance hit, as window mode does not support sli or crossfire.

Thanks for this solution guys. I've had enough of the waiting. Windowed (fullscreen) works well for me as well.

Using Windowed(Fullscreen) basically makes it like alt-tabbing to your desktop. Just its annoying whenever I open a new window it ends up as my background instead of my desktop but i guess its just a price you gotta pay for gettin instant alt-tabs

Confirming this. To all those who are still not aware about the recent driver update - it's up and it's surely working for my HD 5850. ALT + TABing in takes only 1-5 secs max, now. Cheers!

WHAT? I've ran two or more versions past 10.8, like 10.1 and 11.1 and they didn't fix the problem, so I dont' see how 10.8 does.

Is this like a troll thread? whats with everyone suggesting the same thing as if it hasn't been said 50 times before.

Changing to windowed fullscreen will 'solve' the issue but it doesn't actually fix anything.
There is an issue with ATI card drivers that is causing a huge delay on changing resolutions,
Find some old drivers and fix the issue.
