The call stop, back to Window... I'm not dead (not now), cause i was in town... But it's exasperating...
After close Skype and go on Mumble, i was in the 3e lvl for go to kill the final boss of Act III, and... BAKC TO WINDOW... Steam informe me the game of the Week-end is now not free...
FUCK my life, i back on the game very fast, but to late, i'm dead...

I don't want res my character, i'm dead, i'm dead, but on D3, LoL, DotA, WoW and all the game i know, there are not back to window...



Sorry for my realy bad english i'm french, and i don't learn this langage at School...

Thank you for your valuable feedback.

Do you get this problem in PoE because the resolution for the full screen game is different from your desktop's resolution?

Until we get a fix for this behavior, you can circumvent the problem by either disabling popup notifications from steam and skype etc, or you can make PoE "Borderless Fullscreen" mode. That should prevent the window from resizing when it loses focus.
Hello, I understand your frustration. These annoying things that occur are not from the PoE client side, but the software you are running (skype & steam in this case). For example, if you change your status on skype to "busy" it won't minimize and open skype.

With steam it's in the settings: steam/view dropdown menu -> settings ->Interface -> Uncheck "Notify me about additions or changes to my games, new releases, and upcoming releases."


However, they can apply a fix to the PoE client that this will prevented, but right now, it's not the problem from PoE.

It happends to Diablo 3 and other games as well.

Ty for all this trick.
The resolution of my game is the same than my screen resolution (1600*900).
I change my fullscreen for window screen, and i change my skype to Busy.
