ALT-TAB often locks up editor

Post by schwim »

Hi there everyone,

I'm always needing help with stuff I do in terms of tutorials, videos and hints I find on the forums. Unfortunately, alt-tabbing out of the editor and trying to get back into the game often causes it to lock up. I can try bringing up the task manager to get out of the editor temporarily and then going back and sometimes it will allow me to work again, but often I have to kill the sandbox process.

Does anyone else have this problem? I alt-tab all the time out of my games and have not run into this issue until now. Any suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

I also get this problem sometimes in Sandbox (when I say sometimes, I mean it locks up on my PC, but not on my laptop :P )

You could try using the windows button and tab, this works in the same manner.
