eLucifer Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I have 1.7 and use Alt+Tab to return to desktop but most of the times I can't get back to the game. It doesn't actually crash but turn into a very thing window after which I can only close it via ctrl+alt+del and restart. Help much appreciated.

Doc543 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I have 1.7 and use Alt+Tab to return to desktop but most of the times I can't get back to the game.

What works for me is i have another window open in the background. Go into the Pause menu and alt-tab. (Save before just in case) When you need to get back to the game you have to Alt-tab again because clicking on it on the taskbar doesn't work for some reason. BTW: Ctrl-Shift-Esc opens Task Mangier, left click on program, go to process, right click on process, end prosses tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonger Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Alt-Tabbing may or may not crash your game but as some of the best modders and debuggers have found out it WILL set up a delayed crash even if you manage to get back to the game Moral of the story - Don't do it!!
