I have to exit with alt+tab to change focus and then manually close the game via the control bar at the bottom.

anyone else have this problem? I just bought this game hoping for something entertaining and I can't even play it.
I've got the same problem on OS X. Did you found a solution?

lol it is 12 years later but this is the fix by me with the help of chatgpt.

Go to the folder where the game is installed, there is a file called ddraw.ini

Replace the contents of the file with this:

; cnc-ddraw configuration file for Jack Orlando DC

[ddraw]
; Renderer options: opengl, gdi, direct3d9, auto
renderer=opengl

; Run in fullscreen or windowed mode
fullscreen=true

; Maintain aspect ratio (no stretching)
maintas=true

; Integer scaling (sharp pixels, no blur)
integerScaling=true

; Enable vsync to avoid tearing
vsync=true

; Enable bilinear filtering (set to false for sharp pixel look)
filter=false

; Resolution handling: auto = desktop resolution
width=0
height=0

; Adjust mouse so it works correctly in menus
adjmouse=true

; Fix Alt+Tab issues in fullscreen
devmode=true

; Borderless fullscreen window (better on Win10/11)
borderless=true

; Resampling mode (nearest = sharp, linear = smooth)
resample=nearest

; Force single-core CPU affinity for old games
singlecpu=true
