    How To Close Dispatcher Window

    I don't know how to close the dispatcher window that is opened with < CTRL + 9 >. Close button is disabled, < Alt + F4> doesn't work, pressing < CTRL + 9 > again to close it doesn't work as well. With dispatcher window open and the game running simultaneously I get micro stutters which is easily noticeable in fast motion. Dispatcher is often necessary to workaround activity issues. Does anyone know how to close it once open without exiting the game?

    Hi Advut,
    If you set focus to the main OR window Ctrl+9 works just fine to toggle the Dispatch Window on and off.

    Just be sure the main OR window in active (has focus) when you press Ctrl+9.

    On the The Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor there is a Tablet. On it is written:
    "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
    the wretched refuse of your teeming shore, send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
    I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

      Likewise, checking fast full-screen Alt-Tab under the video options tab allows you to open the dispatchers window just once, and then Alt-Tab either one to the top as frequently as needed

        Hi Vince, Yes, it works! Thanks you very much.

        Hi Geepster775, Doing that just switches between game window, dispatcher window and window of whatever apps you have open currently. However, as I said, I get micro stutters if I just keep the dispatcher window in the background and don't completely close it. So, to do that I need to follow Vince's method.
