On linux, this is an option by adding SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0 %command% to the game's launch option (or any other game using SDL2).

@kisak-valve @mikela-valve also add blocking steam overlay showing when pressing shift with tab in-game. Because with shift we walk and wanna see who's dead in tab, and steam overlay comming instead of tab, that's noisy.

You can change the key binds for the overlay in the Steam settings.

this isn't a solution

ghost commented 5 years ago

nooo!!! these are problems that already have solutions without changing it for everyone, please don't

Peace!

I think you can use -windowed -borderless to make the game run in a borderless window, so you can alt-tab without minimizing the window

perforatorRU commented 5 years ago

It will be optional...
