Hey so ive been having this issue for a while so ill get straight to the point.
Very often when tabbing out my game freezes and I need to force kill it with task manager.
PC specs:
Ryzen 7 3700x
32gb ddr4 ram
rx 6800 gpu
game is on nvme ssd
Playing on 1080p 144hz monitor (only monitor)
Graphics Settings:
This has been happening for around a year now, so things like dx12 and motion blur are definitely not the cause. This is also the only game thats encountering such issues, other more demanding games like cyberpunk with raytracing on has no issues. When the game works performance is good I get 100-150 frames depending on the maps etc etc.
But yeah please help ive been struggling with this for a while now and I have no idea where to look now.

Also good to add its completely random, sometimes doesn’t happen at all, another day it will happen ever single time I tab out and anywhere in between. Same conditions, same background apps running no difference in conditions at all and no clear indicator of cause

It’s been happening to me for half a year and gaijin is not fixing it. Dozens of users have done bug reports, and gaijin simply ignores them.
Do not give your money to this company.

Having this issue too. Curiously the CPU usage drops down and fluctuates between 0~5% when the freeze occurs. Graphic driver updates do not help, as do any other graphics setting adjustments. One detail of note is that the error seems to occur more frequently when the game has been running for a long time, or when i have been alt-tabbing frequently. However other times the game will also just crash as soon as I start up and reach the hanger.

I’d try turn off the shadowplay equivalent for AMD/ATi and see if that’d do anything.

I feel this is affecting me now somehow.
I’ve ended up coming back in from tabbing, to a black screen, which seems like it’s a fraction of the true resolution, and moving the mouse a bit does change the image a bit but it’s all messed.
I alt-f4ed and closed it to restart, but I feel this is related.
Been happening to me for over a year, no error code or crash log. Just freezes and becomes completely unresponsive and needs to be force closed with task manager.

I’ve been having something close to this happen to me since the update. If I alt tab before I go into a match or while a match is loading, which I’ve never had a problem with doing before. My game literally locks itself at 8FPS. I have to close the game and then it runs fine again…

Hi guys!
Please submit bug report with necessery files here: Community Bug Reporting System
TBH I alt tab all the time, multiple times per battle, in really random moments - no crashes for me.
DX12, Full Screen.
How can we make an In-game profiler file is the game freezes so we can’t press F11 to record the time when the issue occurs? When reporting this problem in the Performance category you need to add one of these files.
Please submit all the files you can.
“Works on my machine” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They’re not wrong, but I also have a scenario that alt-tabbing causes something to happen because I come back to the game, and it’s black screen, like it’s actually zoomed in on something, and I can alt-F4 to get out.
DX11 - Fullscreen.
So it’s not ‘crashing’ as such on mine either, but inoperable until I close and restart the game.
Well here’s a report on the issue with all the relevant information.

Hopefully you or someone else can get this passed along quickly. This issues has been going on for nearly a year now and there’s countless reports that go ignored and it’s just frustrating to see nothing being done about it.
Alt-Tabbing out of fullscreen apps is so bad in windows all around. The compositor Windows uses is so bad and so slow to turn on and off and it causes so much lag.
I’ve alt tabbed multiple times in matches in the past without issues. Only on this patch it doesn’t always crash but more often than not it locks at 8 fps which is weird. Haven’t done a full reinstall but thinking about it
Same damn problem! How am I supposed to “telework” like this??!!??
It is indeed strange that the person who was able to reproduce this problem (Community Bug Reporting System) continues to ignore it, even though he has even politely attached a crash log file.
