Bizarre this one.
Playing the game for the first time today - all settings maxed and in full screen mode and it runs like a dream - until I've been playing it for the amount of time the screen saver is set to start up and the screen saver starts up :confused:

I've never seen this before in any full screen game. I know I could stop it by disabling the screen saver but as this is the only game that has this issue is there anything else that can be done? It's very frustrating to have the game suddenly minimize and the desktop appear when I'm in the middle of a bunch of shambling half-dead. Oddly, although the screen saver kicks in I can still hear the game's sound effects squishing merrily along in the background...
Any ideas?

Tell me what is your operating system and hardware.
Maybe I will be able to reproduce it.

Sorry about that - should have had this in the first post:
Vista Ultimate 32bit - fully patched etc..
Twin Geforce 8800GT (512MB) in SLI (Version 197.45 of drivers)
DX11 installed
Original Aegis Physx card installed. 1.1.15 driver version according to Device Manager but I don't beleive that as the latest version of the Nvidia drivers also updated the Physx drivers.
4GB RAM
498GB free disc space (two 750GB SATA HDDs - no RAID).

Let me know if there's anything else you need.
TIA
T.

We have tried to do it on a few of our systems but it doesn't happen here.
We will keep that in mind though, maybe it will happen eventualy and then we will be able to fix it.
