This game does not like being alt-tabbed. In fact most games don't and can show this type of behavior..  Make sure full screen is unchecked and use alt+enter if you have too.

What is really strange is that since the first alpha I have been playing hawken with dual monitors regularly alt-tabbing in and out of the game and between monitors and never had any trouble at all.

It seem odd that others are encountering this issue. Perhaps it may be an incompatibility with certain systems or software.

+1 to this.

I'm running a GTX 480 with no issues at all with dual monitors and Alt-Tab. The issues I have seen on this forum seem to relate to ATi (AMD) and Intel Graphics so it's possibly to do with that_ Purely anecdotal, though.
What's interesting is that it's been mentioned that Nvidia have been more than happy to help with optimizing this game but AMD have refused to assist in any way.

I'm not trying to start rumors, honest!
