[EM 2.088] ALT+TAB = crash of game

Post by MrDionne »

Hi. I do not know why, but since version 2.088, I can not do ALT + TAB to minimize the game window without the game crash. Not very practical.:(

In the old 1.828 version I could minimize the game window without problem.

Any solutions for that?
Thank.

Don't use the 'Locked (FS)' screen mode, switch to the 'Optimized' mode instead. Locked should not be used unless absolutely necessary as it disables alt-tabbing.

I learnt that the hard way. Couldn't work out what the heck I was doing wrong, until I looked at my options, and guessed that 'locked' really does mean locked!
