Once you have another window open on the desktop, e.g. Firefox, focus switching seems to work more-or-less correctly. Since the alt button in HG:L is what gives you freedom of cursor movement, apparently there is some holdover there that is not working properly when alt-tabbing, but the alt key does make a decent workaround.
With windows a left click seems to free the mouse.
2-As for in-game X-fire chat, I've yet to figure out how to get that to work.
In game hit escape-options-aidio options- then check the inable voice chat as default button.
3-I also miss GW's ability to resize and rearrange the interface as I find the chat window too obtrusive and annoying to control.
I agree
4-There also doesn't seem to be any way to control which instance of a town you are in, for grouping purposes, either... I'm sure there must be some way to get that to work but I don't know what it is yet.
Once partied with someone you will see a small blue dot on the lower left of thier avatar ...Alt click this to create a "Party Portal" It will take you directly to your party member. (As long as you are to access what ever portion of the game they are in.)
5-Overall I've found the game not very friendly as far as chat/grouping goes, compared to GW (even GW at release.) It seems the game could have used several more months of polishing, even without considering all the display bugs, quest bugs, etc.
Agreed but I wouldnt have liked to wait several more monthshttp://realmsbeyond.net/forums/images/smilies/smoke.gif
