Sick of this

Constant crashing from alt tabbing is about to push me over the edge, I change tabs to try and change my music, then my game freezes, crashes, and when I load back in I’m dead. It’s genuinely bullshit.

are you in windowed fullscreen or fullscreen? In my experience warthunder hates windowed fullscreen

That’s what I’m in, just run full screen then?

worth a try probably

Just did, messed with my sound real bad.

weird, you’d think those two things wouldn’t affect each other

Yeah, I don’t know why, but everything went silent, whole system.

the worst thing is they refuse to accept that it is a problem with their game

Going off-topic a little. Don’t tell me you play GRB and blast music? (lol)

Depends on my mood, but I always have them pretty equally loud when I play air, ground it’s more like background music that’s very quiet.

I don’t have a fix directly on the PC itself but if you use spotify (or some other streaming apps) you can use your phone to switch it around. Not a fix all, as you probably dont just tab for music, but could be useful to at least get rid of one of the times it would tweak out

Is your graphics driver updated/did you update it recently? Alt tab crash issues are usually related to that

Yeah, because I use the Nvida system, but have all of it mostly turned off.

See if reverting to a previous version helps with the crashes

I was having the issue before I updated it, last update I did was over a year ago, so I don’t think it will, but I’ll try it.

well i ended up trying a fresh windows install and the crashes still happen on live, dev and enlisted but no other games meaning that it is a issue with their game engine.

@Zyranovos can i ask what gpu are you running

This alt-tabing freeze problem has already been reported 8 months ago.
And even though the freeze only occurs in this game, they stubbornly refuse to acknowledge the problem.
By the way, I just talked to the bug manager.
I told them, “There is a problem with your internet connection at your house, so you will have to solve it yourself.”
I thought it couldn’t be, but I consulted my ISP and investigated, and in fact there was nothing problematic with my Internet connection.
Ridiculous.

how can it be anything to do with your internet kinda wild that they just don’t want to fix their awful game engine

It’s about as funny a joke as WarThunder.

Really crazy.
