[pre-beta] Game launch focus issues

[Bleeder91]

Windows 10 Edu, 64-bit.

1. Launching a map from the editor. When I launch a map through the editor (xgl), it will minimize the game on launch as if the Editor (or console) is getting focus.

2. Launching the game. When I launch the game (xgl), it will launch full screen but the window will not have focus. I have to click on it before I can interact within the game.

I cannot reproduce either of these.

I am also not sure how it is possible to recognize focus issues when the game starts in fullscreen (It does for me on both occasions).

What is the sign that the window is unfocused, while in fullscreen?

[Bleeder91]

I have 3 monitors with each having either firefox, discord or mail/Windows media player open. Main monitor launches unreal in fullscreen and lacks keyboard input. Once I click (onto the game), it will flicker for a bit before it actually has user input, ie focus. I can't pinpoint what is causing it, yet, but I had a couple of times where it did get focus correctly on launch.

Not sure if this is related, but I have a similar issue on Linux while toggling fullscreen off/on -- It's easy to reproduce in a tiling window manager which automatically resizes windows to a specific area.

While in the Unreal menu, If the mouse cursor is placed in an area outside of where the game window is arranged and resized, the game will steal the cursor from the desktop, but it is hidden until pressing ESC twice (once to go back to game, then back to menu again).

If the mouse cursor is placed INSIDE the area where it is tiled and resized, the cursor is unaffected.

Unfortunately I can confirm that with the latest github build Unreal opens in the background/without focus. It still captures the mouse which leads to unwanted behavior if another window is over the Unreal game window.

I can, by now, actually confirm this bug as well. It's very obnoxious for editor work / previews.

This one has been fixed with 227j release. At least for the game that is.

Excellent!
