Alt-Tab crash

Is this still a known issue?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Just was playing the Beta 2 build and had to look up a phone number in another program, so I alt-tabbed out of Dark Avatar. I was probably out of it for about 10 minutes. When I alt-tabbed back the music came on but the screen went black. After a few minutes a little window came up and said "invalid call". I used to task manager to force quit DA because it just hung on the black screen with the music.

I think I remember something being said about alt-tab switching being a problem with the earlier beta builds but I don't know if it's supposed to be working now or not.

Do you have a debug.err file from that game?  If you (or any one) gets a crash from an alt-tab, please post your debug.err file when that happens.  Also, if you have a recent save, that would help too (send it and your debug.err to [email protected])  Alt-tab crashing can be caused by several different things, so the information provided in your debug.err files will help us to narrow it down.

The debug.err file can be found in c:/program files/stardock/totalgaming/galciv2/darkavatar

Thanks.

I'll e-mail the debug file with the most recent save to the bugs address.
