[MP3]Game randomly minimizes to taskbar

Hello,

OS: Windows 7 64 bit
Processor: AMD DX(tm)-4100 Quad-Core Processor
RAM: 8GB
Display adapter: AMD Radeon HD 7700

I'm not sure if this already has been reported before.
Basically, the game randomly minimizes to taskbar. It seems random to me at least.
I have no way of predicting it.
It minimizes like it would if I were to press alt+tab or the windows start button.
But I know for sure I didn't press any buttons that would minimize the game and this has occurred many times in the past.
I also suspected other interrupting programs running in the background but I disabled the most I could but still can't figure out.
Most recent incident was today at fb's weekly race. I was just racing and throughout about 45 min race, it minimized 3 times at seemingly random intervals. I'm not sure what is causing it.
This may be on my end but isn't it easy to implement the system where you can toggle between disabling and enabling game minimization?
I know a lot of games have this where even if you press start button or alt+tab, the game doesn't tab out.
If this is implemented, I would be so so so happy. I've raged so many times because of this :evil: :evil: :evil:
:D
Let me know if I need to provide any more information!

Best,
Fuzzy

Did you try to play in windowed fullscreen mode? It won't solve the root of the bug but it might help to solve the minimization problem.

Yeah that might work as of now.
Although if same thing happens, the game wouldn't be minimized but the game will be sort of tabbed out and I would have to click on the window of the game.
