Alt-Tab Crashes the Game
I was roughly 80% of the way through the game (I was near the section where Gluskin dies.) The game randomly minimizes so I had to go back in, but it crashed. That sucks.
Anyway to fix this???

This has happened numerous times and other people have said on the forums before that the game crashes when alt-tabbing. Try it yourself, keep alt-tabbing out and it will eventually crash.
Only thing I could suggest, See for myself love playing games in "Windowed Mode" Problem with full screen is anything that is happening like a messenger going off, or adverts will minimize the game, I run a lot of servers / chatrooms

even if it's one person that messaged takes me out of the game, but if you are windowed that won't happen. That's why I love windowed mode in games! :steamhappy:

Give it a shot see if that helps.

P.S. No alt-tabbing needed.

I solved this problem. Apply this set launch options. "-borderless -resx=1920 -resy=1080". Have fun.

Nope, was still getting a few crashes, less though, it did make a big difference, just didn't clear it up completely.
