Alt-Tabbing back in (any solutions?)
So some times, I have to minimize the game to get to another app or something. Some times it just does it on its own because of an app wanting to update, but whenever I alt-tab, I can't alt-tab back in the game. I just get a black screen and/or, in task manager, I get the report that says "program has stopped working".

So if anyone can, a fix please?

I get a black screen, but only for a few seconds or so, then a red loading bar appears in the black screen and it re-renders my game. Have you tried leaving it on the black screen for a few min to see if anything happens?

Huh that's weird... I think it's randomly because usually it would never work for me to Alt-Tab back into the game, and as I just tried it now, there seemed to be no issues...

bruhh, literally every time it forces me to Force-Close the game and I'd be waiting for many minutes. This time around, it just so happens to "not break" itself.. I think I have the slightest bit of patience

Was looking around for a solution and found adding this command "-noborder" to the launch config works for me. Hope it works for others :) Here's a link for other launch commands...

What do you mean by launch configurations, how do you find them? I really wish people just made clear instructions
