alt-tab fullscreen crash

When you alt-tab away from the game while in fullscreen mode, you can't go back because the game stops displaying anything. It's not really a crash, because the game is still open and running.

Mine eventually crashes. After a couple of minutes of a black screen is when it gives up.

What OS are you guys on and are you on Steam or standalone versions of the game?

Noticed this issue last night and found that if I selected the window key, then clicked on the OOTP box on the desktop, then the window key again, the game resurfaced. That's Windows 10, FWIW

Was just about to report this as well. You cant alt-tab out of the game as when you attempt to return, nothing happens. The game is still running according to Task Manager but you have to Force End the game and then reload again.

Currently having to run in Windowed mode.

I am running Windows 7 on a Laptop and running the game through Steam.

Tried this but didnt seem to work for me but I am on a different OS but have tried several things to recover the session but nothing so far.

One thing I noticed the screen is black but the mouse icon changes from the pointer to the hand when moving around so it is though the game is still on but the screen is just black.

I have just upgraded to latest Graphics Driver but this hasn't resolved the issue.
