It's actually pretty common, it's generally not advisable to be switching between a 3D game and applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brasher Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 This happens on my machine too, so I just don't do it. I save my game and exit if I need to do something else on the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetOutOfBox Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 You can run Oblivion in Windowed mode, which partially allows you to alt-tab between apps, its kind of neat, since when you alt-tab out of the game, the rendering engines threads are paused, so it shouldn't bog down your CPU/GPU when alt-tabbed out of it. The downside is that you'll still very often find that after alt-tabbing back to the game, it simply won't restart the rendering engine, you'll have to close it via task manager.
