Game should just force-focus at the last bit of the loading..

It's an odd looking error for that cause. Are you sure that's the cause? I dont' know how being alt-tabbed would change the number of techniques. It's an odd looking assert, even. I wonder what exactly those variables mean.

Then I think a force focus would be the best way to deal with it if they can't fix it a better way.
