Crash after alt-tabbing

[Tallestgreen]

CoH will crash if I alt tab away from the game for more than a few seconds. This doesn't happen until I actually load into the world. Screenshot of my graphics settings attached.

seriously though, setting the game to windowed mode might help ya.

Switched to windowed and i still have the same issue, unfortunately. I thought it might be a CPU priority issue, but after testing it on higher priority, it doesn't seem to fix it either

oof, well maybe someone else might have a suggestion. unfortunately we may simply have 19 year old fame that doesnt appreciate that you may want to do something else while playing it.

 

I use window mode to occasionally run a couple instances of the game with little issue.

Coming back after about a week to say i found a solution (more of a workaround if anything). The crashing only happens if the game is rendering the world when I tab back. If I pull up a full screen in-game window, I have no crashes when I head back. So far, this is only the Enhancements "Manage" window, but it works, and prevents crashes.

Not sure, my guess is a graphics driver is having issues with what CoH is trying to do.

Operating System, Graphics Card, and a few other variables would need to be known for proper diagnosis.

 

I think the diagnostics client may help point to what is going on and maybe there's a setting that will at least avoid the issue once known:
