Why do Steam games (not just TF2, but almost all of them), freeze/take a long time to start again when you Alt+Tab out of them compared to other games?
Halo or Battlefield, and even COD4, you go to the desktop and back, and you get a black screen for maybe 7-8 seconds tops.
I try it on CS, TF2, or any steam mod, and half the time it stops responding, and the other half it takes more then 30 seconds to get back in the action.
I've always wondered what the technical reason for this is, or if other people even have this problem.
Note: I didn't know which forum to put this on so I put it here seeing as it seems to be the busiest subforum in TotalHL. Also, the problem is especially bad in TF2 imo. Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this.
