    Every-time I Alt/Tab out of game I get disconnected and have to login again.

    Me too and it really sucks since I'm a luddite with still only one monitor so alt-tabbing to talk to people in stream chat or check recipes on the wiki became aggravating.

    Worth noting that I could be alt-tabbed for ~30 sec or so before being disconnected.

    I run multi monitors so moving the mouse too far once way or another and clicking throws me out... which then disconnects me and i have to relog. It doesn't happen EVERY time, but I'd say 90% on average.

    Same here. A bit of a shame.

    I noticed this also when I switched to full screen after a few times I switched back to windowed mode alt+tab works fine there.

    is everything.
    Agreed. Having the same thing in Fullscreen mode, switching to windowed mode allowed me to use alt+tab to switch between windows.

    This is a known bug in the latest version of Unity that will be addressed before the next release. When you are in full screen mode and the game is in the background, nothing processes. To stay connected we send keep alive pings but with nothing processing we can't even do that. Sorry, we should have "Known Issue"-d this. Again, should be fixed for next release.

    For those interested you can run SotA as a borderless window by creating a shortcut to the game directly (not the launcher) with the command -popupwindow Be sure to patch your game with the launcher before launching it though! Chris it would be a good idea to have borderless windows aka virtual full screen mode supported natively :p
