I still receive chat and can use commands etc. normally, but all incoming game-related traffic stops for my client.
I confirmed this over a year ago in the old JJ2 on Windows 8 thread, but never looked into it further as I was more baffled by the FPS problem at the time, and learned to prevent switching in and out of fullscreen while in a game.

MasterSven also confirmed it a while ago. I don't exactly have a clue about what happens, but I believe it's Windows's 8/8.1/10's Window manager being always on while programs are running fullscreen to keep listening to and displaying notifications. Somehow the 'initialization' of this feature (after switching to fullscreen in-game) interferes with JJ2's netcode, but as long as you go into (and stay into) fullscreen mode before starting the in-game server browser you can play fine.
