Little issue I could survive with, but..

Hi all,
New to R3E, I must say the pleasure I get from this racing game, just great!
So, since a couple of weeks, it has been easy to tune and everything run fine, except one thing: The Windows key doesn't react if I want to go off the game temporally.
I've no problem using that key in other games, and don't see where to tweak it in the R3Es options.
I "googled" this issue, but no good result with my case.
Is it related with screen options? I'm in full screen (as recommanded by R3E). Do I need to switch on windowed screen?
For sure, I'm missing something easy... any idea?

I would expect the Windows key to not respond in fullscreen, yes. It is generally considered quite annoying amongst gamers.

Why don't you just Alt-Tab out of the game?

As above, or run the game in windowed mode ..found under the video settings tab.

PS glad you are having fun ..it is a great sim

I Ctrl - Esc and have never intentionally touched the Windows key in my life, back in the day it used to cock everything up, so have never trusted it!

Thanks to all for your advice! I switched on full-screen windowed, and Alt-Tab worked fine Now I understand better why Full-screen is recommanded: The graphic quality is less smooth in full-screen windowed. I'll find my way by using this mode, only when really needed.

It's not just the smoothness (which may or may not happen, depending on your exact config), but if you disable vsync, you also have less input lag in fullscreen compared to windowed mode (where vsync can't technically be disabled and is instead forced in its triple buffered form).

Alt + Tab should work fine even from full screen mode. I use it all the time... usually when I’ve forgotten to start Crewchief before a race and I’m wondering why it’s so quiet
