Anyone ever find a fix for crash/freeze on minimize?
Every time when I minimize the game, or alt-tab out it freezes and I cannot get back into it without ending the task.
Tried many different graphics settings, disabling Nvidia Ansel, you name it. It either has to be something super simple or just something to deal with.
I searched and have yet to find anyone that has found a reliable fix for this but I know it's a common problem so maybe someone can help me out.

Specs:
Win 10
Intel i5-6600 @ 3.50
16Gb Ram
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070

I also sent a report to Deep Silver and that hasn't worked out yet either.

That was an idea I had too, but now Im definitely going to give that a shot. It's annoying. I have two monitors and cant even use the secondary because no borderless fullscreen either. I hope they change this sometime but it's still a great game.

Whelp, that seems to have fixed the minimize freeze. ♥♥♥ yeah! You are awesome and here is a well deserved pat on the back!
Now if I could figure out why I can't adjust my volume when it's running ha!
Seriously tho, you rock. Keep doing that.

I had that issue as well LOL, I had to move my mic and head set to the front of my PC from the back. Don't even ask me why that worked, but it did.

I had to move my speakers from being connected to my monitor back to my pc and move my wireless headset to another USB port. I don't know which one fixed it or if it's some placebo effect and it fixed itself somehow. For real, I'm not even that surprised with the quirks of Exodus at this point LOL.
