Nah, two people say the code is good and improves things, that's enough. I'll merge it.

.... once I remember where I put it. It's probably on the Windows box.

Tried the patch.
On my system (XP) AA minimizes, but uses 50 percent of CPU time then. Mouse pointer is in the upper left corner, doesn't move. Task manager can be opened, but does nothing more. Solution: hard-reset :/

I'm back to 0.2.8.3.0, it de-minimizes already after two, three... clicks (with a funny jumping mouse pointer). LOL.

That's useless while I'm nowhere near a machine running XP :)

I encounter the same whenever I switch to another program or minimize Armagetron. I never considered it being a problem though, because after a couple of clicks everything's fine. I don't know the exact version of Arma I'm using, it's definitely 0.2.8.3 but beta-something (I'll check when I'm back home, at work right now). Oh, and I use Windows XP, too.
I'm pretty sure it has been the same with the version I had before the recent one, must have been something with 0.2.8 in it, but the one that did not have the authentication parts.

this is a serious bug though, it bothers me when I play armagetron because I play in fullscreen.. I would play windowed but it gives me less fps (someone told me you get more FPS in windowed when you have an ATI card, but I have NVIDIA)

so whenever I play, I can't do anything else on my computer :|
