Bug (16.51) crash when screensaver kicks in

Post by chrisb2e9 »

Hello,
Every time my screen turns off (ie the screensaver) I get the following crash message:
"unable to create sprite (of size 1920x1080) probably not enough of video memory."

Specs:
I5-8600K
16gb of ram
amd 290 (4gb)

Steps to create this problem.
1. load and play the game
2. alt tab to desktop
3. walk away from the computer for at lest 5 minutes
4. come back to error message.

This has been going on for months, so I don't think it's related to this specific game version.
EDIT: I also have dual monitors. Not sure if that's a contributing factor or not.

Obviously there are ways to get around this. disable the screen saver, don't alt tab out. etc etc. But it would be nice if I didn't have to do any of that.

My search skills have failed me... Also I was too tired this morning to see that I was searching the wrong section of the forum. Thank you!
