THis is concerning Gothic 2. I know there are various solutions to this, but I've tried most of them and none have worked. My issue seems to be unique as most users claim the game will switch tasks briefly and then revert back to the game.

However, in my case the game does not seem to recognize alt tabbing at all. When I press alt and tab, the game simply brings up the inventory, as per default key binding. If I try it from the escape menu, it scrolls through the menu options. It's like it doesn't recognize alt being pressed at all. I can alt tab out of Gothic 1 just fine though...
