I recently bought Sniper Elite V2 on Steam, which is by the way, a incredible game.

Last week it started to behave weirdly.

Once i first open the game, everything is fine, but after the first "alt-tab", once i bring the game to foreground again, i can see my "windows mouse" on the game screen, and even tho i can use the keyboard in the game without any problems, as soon as i "click" on the screen ( to shoot, for example ) the game window minimizes. I can bring it again to foreground but the same problem keeps hapening over and over until i reopen the game completely.

Any idea of what might be happening here ?

Thanks in advance and sorry about the bad english

This sounds like something is causing Windows to think the game is losing focus. From what I've experienced, this tends to happen on games you play at fullscreen. Have you tried changing it to play in a window? – fbueckert Aug 14 '12 at 13:37
Yes this is what it looks like. No, i haven't tried windowed mode yet. Fullscreen makes the game alot better to play =/ – Marcello Grechi Lins Aug 14 '12 at 13:41

If V2 has the option, try using 'Fullscreen (windowed)' ( or equivalent ) mode. It will keep the game windowed, but with certain properties of fullscreen ( I have started to play all of my games with this setting. Useful 2+ monitors. ) – Phill.Zitt Aug 14 '12 at 16:21
Just checked, it does not have the option to play in any other mode than fullscreen. I can only play with the resolution and details – Marcello Grechi Lins Aug 14 '12 at 22:37
