After hitting Windows key, killing process necessary

If I switch from ingame to desktop (hitting Windows key, sometimes unwanted hitted), mouse clicks don't work, and you cannot switch back to the game. I only found following solution: Strg+Alt+Enf, open Task Manager, using keyboard select the game, then 3x tab to go to button for ending process, hit space to end process. Then the mouse works again, and I can start the game again (hoepfully saved not too long ago).

What OS version do you have and which version of our game are you running?

Windows 10 and v1.0.2.

Developer

Can you try v1.0.3 and tell us if the problem persists? 

Can you launch the game with the "-popupwindow" parameter?

With 1.0.3 the problem persists. Only difference is that the look of the mouse cursor stays like ingame. After killing the process via keyboard and taskmanager, the mouse cursor changes to normal and I can use it again.

(Forgot to test the parameter, is it helpful, then I download and install again?)

Developer

You don't need to download and install the game again. Just start the game with the parameter "-popupwindow". This will run the game in borderless fullscreen mode, which makes task-switching (or pressing the win key) more reliable with DX11.

Had this bug too, fixing confirmed with 1.0.3.
