The Alt-Tab Bugbear

[TorpX]

I noticed when playing recently, that when I was submerged my battery was draining about 3 times faster than normal. A day of submerged patrolling at 3 kn. took me down to less than 50%, where before, I finished with about 80%.

At first, I thought there was some kind of crew or special ability problem, but I could find none. The tip-off came when I noticed that the CO2 levels stayed at zero, even after a full day submerged.

Saving and reloading returned things to normal, but didn't prevent the problem from recurring after any alt-tabbing. This is annoying to me, as I never had this problem with Windows Vista. Now, I'm using Windows 7, and here it is.

People might want to keep an eye on their battery levels, in light of this.
