Fatal Error and Alt + Tab

September 6, 2009 4:58:30 PM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

I could reprocude it several times.

 

Via Impulse i've choosen to create a game. Everything's gone well. But while i wait, i like to see others things using Alt+tab. Then, when i want to come back, the game won't work. It gives me a grey screen and i have to press alt+tab again and press space to give ok to the fatal error message, which i cant see too.

As a work around (if its an option for you), just play in windowed mode.  Works great for me.

I play in window mode to avoid this also.  Have to say though,  I'd rather have WoW-like tabbability, where playing window mode full screen is actually full screen and hitting the window key pops the taskbar up over the game.  Much better than having to alt-tab.

Helps with immersion not to see bars around the place.

I agree with this too... I'd rather play full screen mode as well, but the alt+tab crashes made the decision easy enough for me.  Hopefully there will be some increased stability with this in 1.2.

Windowed-mode seems to compromise gameplay compared to full-screen mode.  My hope is to create a /stats mod with patch 1.2 so I don't need to alt+tab out of the game anymore to check someone's stats.
