What game actually crashes when you alt+tab?

I can't remember when that last time happened to me.

>You can change the post processing effects without restarting the game

>game doesn't have a pause button

Any Source game ever.

Well.. maybe not so much now.

AYYY RISK OF RAIN

This shit triggers me

>game lets you con foreign wrestling stars into working for a glorified developmental promotion

Sanctum 2 crashes for me almost 100% of the time when alt+tab

Pretty sure every Game Maker: Studio game does this.

Every fucking source engine game.

nuclear throne

name ONE game that does this!

I remember half life 2 crashing when quitting the game but never on alt+tab.

Admittedly I don't play many games that use source engine.

>game comfortably does over 200 FPS with no fucking garbage collection stutter

>wanting that extra drawing latency

Embodiment of Scarlet Devil when you try to tab back in.

Dwarf Fortress.

>alt-tab
>game switches to windowed

Hello input lag my old friend

>game automatically pauses when you alt tab

CSGO crashes often if you alt tab during a loading

its because they are using surfaces, and not using them well. GM:S games dont normally crash like that.

>Game crashes and give you a generic fatal error message.

because it runs in a window, not fullscreen

>game somehow puts its icon first in the alt-tab window list, meaning you have to press shift-alt-tab to get back instead of just pressing alt-tab a second time

>alt-tab causes computer to explode

FUCK

nice memes

Go play CSGO in borderless

But I read that on MSDN itself.

>Can Alt Tab in an MMO and your game keeps going

I swear WoW is one of the only people who do this right, other MMos just have your character stop when you alt tab. I just want to be lazy and alt tab out when I am autorunning/flying/etc

borderless employs tripple buffering which introduces lag

>alt-tabbing causes 10 cyberdemons to spawn around you for a nice surprise when you get back

I'm pretty sure black desert does this too

Why does Overwatch do this?

That's an old article that's wrong. Go play CS in borderless and you'll notice the lag immediately

>and alt+enter doesn't work
fuck this shit

They don't crash.
They hide.

...

which gaem

>quit game
>game.exe has stopped working

>game instantly closes when pressing esc

Games seem to cope better tabbing to a second screen than to the desktop

Blame Wangblows i guess

...

Fucking Max Payne 3
Can't replay it because of that bullshit

Any bethesda game

TF2 used to.

doesn't crash that often anymore but it still has a ludicrous switching time. it's like they unload everything when alt tabbing and load everything when tabbing back in.

>playing CSGO

>old Windows 95 game won't work on modern system

All of mine.

May be my computer...

>quit game
>game.exe has stopped working

>alt tabing from the game when you have barelly minimum RAM memory

I don't recommend doing it

Oblivion.
If I alt-tab it crashes a minute later.

>game alt tabs randomly when you're playing a comp match

>it happens twice in less than 20 seconds.

While on the subject of shitty backwards compatibility

>directx8 game
>runs perfectly on older systems with all settings turned up, not a demanding game
>install it on modern computer
>dips down to ~20 fps on max settings

The only graphics setting that mattered was the shadows. Once those were turned down, the game ran fine.

why does this happen so often?

>typing reply
>shitpost.exe has stopped working

Fallout 4 generally doesn't crash but your computer gets fucked up until the game remembers it's still running and opens back up

get rid of spyware you shit

Cheers.

good thing i dont believe in online banking

Why do games crash at all when focus is broken?

SFV's saving grace.

FFXIV does this too

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
