Would you please attach a crash report so we can see exactly why the alt-tabbing is causing Xsyon to crash for you?

I have had this happen a couple of times today and no crash log associated - game just locks up and you can't maximize it anymore. Your forced to close it manually with windows.

It doesn't crash so to say, it locks minimized.

Maybe related, maybe not, But alt-tab has yet to work for me. Same for hitting the "windows" key. Can't tab out to desktop. Using w7 x64. Quad core cpu, 8Gb ram

You can fix this by setting it to windowed mode. Works good.

Yeah, that works. But who would want to play such a game in windowed mode? At least give us borderless fullscreen mode, but just windowed is not cool.

I have the same thing, i would LOVE fullscreen borderless window mode, would improve the game infinitely for me and allow me to use my 2nd monitor

the borders on vista/win7 are so ugly i can hardly play in window mode even with the shiftwindow app that adds fake borderless fullscreen

Windows 7, 32-bit, up to date GFX and OS drivers. After a minute of being tabbed out the game stops responding, no crash associated.

Dxdiag attached...

Alt-tabbing with Xsyon does not work well. If you play windowed it works fine, but fullscreen alt-tabbing is asking for problems. The game will not respond anymore.

Also worth noting that the game will also hang/crash if you minimise the window too.

We're having this issue for months already, yet no official statement. We're forced to playing in this retarded windowed mode. WTF, XSYON?
