EHM 1 crashing on alt-tab

Post by cm_spitfire »

Folks,

Having an issue with EHM that I've not experienced before. Certainly wasn't happening whilst the game was EHM:EA and I don't recall an issue before this latest patch.

Anyway, EHM is crashing every time I alt-tab out whilst its processing games/between days. I THINK its also randomly crashing at other times too but I need to make a better record of that. I've changed all the screen resolution settings to test it out but its crashing regardless.

The only "mod" I'm using is the latest 8.1 rosters; I've already deleted face & logo packs and that hasn't made a difference. The only thing I haven't tried yet is to start a save without the rosters loaded - I'd like to avoid that for obvious reasons...

Anybody have any ideas here?

Thanks.

Why do you not run it in windowed mode?

Sorry, I should have been a bit clearer on the alt-tabbing: I do play in windowed mode which obv allows me to click on other screens etc in the background. The instant I do this is when EHM crashes. Similarly, when I was changing the various screen resolution settings, I went to full-screen and tested the physical alt-tab process which gave me the same crash.

So whether I just click on a screen in the background (when in windowed mode) or when I alt-tab (from fullscreen mode) EHM crashes.
