History

#1 Updated by Moleculor over 11 years ago

  • Apparently this only occurs when the game is set to run in full-screen.
  • It still happens if you allow the Squad logo to appear.
  • Letting even the smallest amount of the loading bar with the three screaming Kerbals appear will prevent the issue from occurring if you alt-tab away.

#2 Updated by Moleculor over 11 years ago

A second log file, this time of what happens when the Squad logo appears before alt-tabbing away. Just in case you need it.

#3 Updated by SinPistones over 11 years ago

I was able to reproduce this on my end but instead of using alt-tab, I just triggered it by clicking anywhere on my second monitor.

After testing it for a while, it seems the game will consistently crash if it loses focus before the loading bar appears.

I've tested it on different windows computers (just in case) and it can indeed be reproduced every single time: Lose focus before the loading bar appears and it crashes.

I'm going ahead and confirming it.

#5 Updated by Repstar over 11 years ago

would like to add 4 occasions where i was running in windowed mode when starting up changed it into full screen and it crashed either my computer auto unfocuses when it changes due to my external screen or this is something new

I don't remember when this was resolved, but it was resolved, at least for me. If anyone else who contributed wants to chime in with anything contrary, they can.
