No Man's SkyGame freezes when it loses focus(3 posts)(3 posts)

Hello all,

I have an issue with this game on my machine where if it loses primary focus (i.e. another application becomes the active window) I am unable to alt-tab back to the game. If I attempt to do so the action is frozen and I need to close the window down and restart the game.

Has anyone else come across this issue? And if so is there a way around this?

Thanks in advance!

Not the freezing bit. I did have an anti-spyware app which insisted on popping up a notification that it had updated its database. Gosh, thanks app -- like I needed to know right now that your database was updated. Solution: uninstall app.

That said, it did not cause NMS to freeze, just a sudden urge to have a pointed discussion with the developer.

Can you ALT-Tab or Windows-D back to the desktop and then to NMS when there isn't an interfering app without NMS freezing?

Unfortunately when i alt tab back to NMS the application is entirely frozen and all I can do is reload. Might have to raise a support case with it and provide a dump file if this is not a common issue

Thanks for the advice!
