JeffDetroit 717 Posted May 12, 2013 This is probably pre-noob stuff, but I actually never had totoggle back to my Windows desktop before now while playingDayZ. Anyway, I used Steam to download my Arma softwareso I guess there's that variable to consider, but now with Mumbleand Teamspeak, and Track IR running, how can I switch momentarilyfrom an active DayZ gameplay view to my desktop? Is there somedefault keyboard combo or do I need to set something up?Yeah, I know, basic and lame... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

herrjon 478 Posted May 12, 2013 Just make sure you're in cover and bring up the options menu when you do it. If not, you could misfire and end up shooting one of your friends and/or give away your position and draw aggro. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheDuriel 26 Posted May 15, 2013 i would suggest you to play in windowed/borderless windowed modeit speeds "tabbing" (alt+tab) out of the game up by a insane amount Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
