Alt+Tab = Crash

Everytime I try alt+tab the game (mostly to try read some guide or whatever), the game freezes and an error window shows up hidden by the last game's frame (thus I can't read what it says and if I try alt+tab to it, it flashes and vanishes so I couldn't printscreen it) and game crashes with windows "checking for a solution".

My laptop isn't top but runs game well and also all other games (tera, dota2, scarlet blade, etc) all run okay and I can alt+tab.

Anyone else have this problem?

I had this problem when running the game in Fullscreen, so I followed a friend's advice and switched to Borderless Windowed. That pretty much eliminated the problem for me and I never crash when I Alt-Tab now.

Yeah, I seem to have this problem in every game unless I'm playing in Borderless Windowed mode, something about putting that much background work on my CPU crashes the game client for some reason.

This actually works!
But as side-effect, my frame rate dropped too much and game became a stop-motion video so I think I'll have to stick with full screen or my pc can't handle :(

Just a little note that may help you with the performance drop when changing to borderless window depending on your gfx card certain settings may be different when running in both modes i.e. in full screen gfx settings are taken from game and when running in borderless window the settings are taken from your gfx software i.e. catalyst control center for ATI users.

What you want to check is the settings in your gfx card software and make sure that vertical sync is disabled and that you are not forcing AA on this may help with the performance issues.

Personally I would just play with the settings till it worked out right or set them all to be set by application.

Hope some of that helps.

Althire.
