Except for realism, it's really a mute issue. The fix, was disable it in settings if you need to tab out a lot for whatever issue.
The issue of the Co2 bug doesn't have anything to do with how long you may be submerged. Co2 developes with just a small amount of time being submerged. With the bug, no matter what you do, the Co2 keeps increasing until the death screen appears. You can surface with just a small amount of Co2 showing on the indicator, but you know you've got the bug when the Co2 keeps increasing. After playing this game for years it's only happened to me once. But, it occurred for no apparent reason, and having nothing to do with using the Alt-Tab keystrokes. I was submerged with no other ships present, but on surfacing the Co2 level kept increasing.

Besides Armistead, I thought you posted??:
