1.26 and ALT TABbing
Reviewed, NormalPublic

Description

Ever since the update, if I alt tab to do something whilst a server is restarting, when I return to DayZ the screen immediately goes black and the game locks up, and I have to use Taskman to close it.
This never happened to me on any version of DayZ EVER in 12 years. Now it happens 100% of the time.

Hello malau.
Unfortunately we did not experience anything like this during our testing.
Is there any .mdmp from the occurence?

I have this ALT-Tab/Black Screen issue when I am set to native fullscreen with NVidia Filters enabled. If I disable filters I can ALT-TAB back and forth with no problem, so that may be a good place to start. Or perhaps try Windowed fullscreen mode.

Also might want to try disabling any overlays (Discord, Steam, etc).

i did had same problem like from 1.20-1.22...but it happened several times only and i dont use nvidia filters

Thank you, confirmed this with the nvidia filters, which seems to be the same source as the current problems with nvidia drivers causing crashes and such.
