[2.0.14] Game freeze on alt-tab

Post by yelnats »

Can reproduce with just base game, no space age or base mods.
Reproduced on a new save.

Repro instructions:
Singleplayer -> Create a new map, default settings
Skip cut scene
Alt tab
Game freezes, ambient sound continues but ship doesn't continue exploding (time does not pass). Cannot move or interact at all.
Alt tab out
Game either shows the map screen or remains paused

Reproduction is intermittent, sometimes it works fine sometimes it pauses every time. The hang is exacerbated by something, but I'm not sure what.

Thanks for the report however I am unable to reproduce any freeze. I suspect some software on your computer is trying to do some overlay of the game and that's failing. But without a way to reproduce it myself I can only guess.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

I’ve got the same symptoms as described here. The only thing that changed between days was a new monitor and display driver. I don’t think the graphics card driver changed, but that’s what caused the problem in my setup (which sounds like a “it’s my problem not yours” kind of moment…)
