Can't alt-tab now?

[AI]

Anyone having issues with FO76 unable to Alt-tab now?

I mean, I can minimize the game and switch window... But FO76 would become minimized. In the past ,when I do this, FO76 will just go to the background and I can do my stuff (check emails, etc) then click and go back to FO76 without issues.

But now, if I do that, FO76 would just minimize... and there's a chance it will crash. There has been times I try to maximize the screen back and my screen just goes black and pressing any key on my keyboard does nothing. Even CTRL+ALT+DEL won't bring the task bar up.

Is it just me or... ? Or did FO76 had some new security feature that was meant to prevent cheating or hacking, but it is just a buggy mess?

If you run your game full screen try borderless windowed mode instead. I get all sorts of issues if I run it full screen and alt-tab.

For me it doesn't crash, it makes the right hand side of the window inaccessible to my mouse until i restart the game from the desktop. It is an old bug (or can it be intentional to make google inaccessible?) At any rate it's bad programming practices / standards to blame.
