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.
@Stona_WT Why bother creating a bug report on this and then it gets ignored? It’s happening all the time and is incredibly frustrating. Could you atleast bump the report so it gets looked at?

The only workaround that fixed it for me was switching to Windowed mode. This is despite having an Alienware M16 with Ultra 7, 32GB RAM and Nvidia 4060 with 8GB VRAM. I tried playing around with the other settings but nothing else worked. It’s not ideal and I don’t like playing in Windowed but for now I can’t see any other solution
Disable DX12, go back to DX11
The freeze was not solved in my case even in WINDOW mode.
Alt+F4 does not work, the memory dump file only outputs 0KB, and there is no crash log or metadata creation, it may be a fundamental problem with Windows.
Only way I can close wt is with task manager, when I’m closing it down it essentially freezes my pc for like 30 seconds until it’s closed
I get this all the time too. It’s super annoying. Only in Hangar.

I get a similar issue sometimes, I’ll be playing the game, hear a discord ping, tab out and the game just immediately (crashes I assume) closes, it’s not like ALT+F4 where it’ll freeze before disappearing, it just instantly closes as soon as I press those buttons. I haven’t found a fix for it yet and it’s been happening on my old laptop (Intel I5-10210U, 8GB RAM) and my current PC (Intel I5-12400F, 32 GB RAM, RTX 3050 6GB) using DirectX 11 and 12, it doesn’t change.

oddly enough, ive had the same problem, its a war thunder exclusive problem, i alt+tab to check discord or opera, and the game freezes, and i get a driver hung warning. i have two systems and it affects both
(R7 5700X + RX 6800)
(R5 8645HS + RTX 4050 LPT)
oddly enough, the 4050 one, tends to completely freeze up and has to be closed with task manager, while the 6800 one, just freezes for a few seconds and works fine, no problems in any other game, and this has been a problem for me since the last update

When will this bug be fixed?
Five days ago this bug suddenly stopped happening, but it reappeared after the WW1 event.
I agree, i thought it was fixed too and now it is happening again.
Also the bug where sound gets stuck in alt-tab is the same… they put hotfix with notes on that but it did nothing.
