    I want to point out that this thread is about an issue with dual monitors and how the game interacts with them. Alt-tabbing would be a separate issue which granted, does trigger a similar or same error. Its very likely that ANYTHING which would force the game to minimize will trigger this error [Anti-virus programs, system pop ups, updates etc.] In this case, having a dual monitor set up leads to a number of ways which causes the game to crash, be they intentional or accidental.

    Again, I want to point out that this was not a suggestion post. Its a bug report. Granted, I offered some possible suggestions to remedy the bug, but its still a bug report.

    This issue is not just an inconvenience, it's causing a game crashing error (With possible side-effects resulting in data loss, given that any time you try to close the game from the top bar it warns you that abruptly closing the game in this fashion may cause data loss). It results in an error similar to a variety of other triggers. This doesn't seem like a small issue, it seems like a fairly broad issue with some portion of the code, most likely in the system handling the DirectX device. (given the fact that the error says it failed to reacquire it.)

    If need be, I'll be more than happy to re-post this to the bug report section; minus what I thought might be a helpful suggestion for tracking down the issue.
