After alt tabbing to the desktop from full screen the game crashed, but no error messages appeared. Instead, it was like Windows kept switching back and forth from the program, making the screen flash rapidly. The only end was closing the program from the task manager

Same problem persists in the experimental from 2 days ago. When alt tabbed the screen flashes rapidly. Restoring focus to CDDA fixes it.

EDIT: Changing Graphics settings from ‘Fullscreen’ to Borderless Windowed seemed to fix the problem, though messed with my resolution and zoom settings.
