      I recently rejoined the FAF community after a short break. I noticed during gameplay, if I alt tabbed, or even worse If a windows notification popped up during a game, I would be met with a grey screen, and a crash report.

      The obvious short term solution to this is to use windowed mode for display, however I don't seem to be able to do this either, after applying the windows mode in game, screen goes black indefinately.

      Anyone else experienced this problem?

        @system_failure do you have a multi screen setup? Friend of mine had similar issues with 3 monitors. But unfortunately I don't know a fix.

          @harzernoob Nope, just one monitor. This has never been a problem before for me

            Your changing resolutions is approximate cause of if. Full screen gamed but windowed lobby is easiest way to trigger it
