Default [HELP] ALT+TAB crashing game

Anytime I alt-tab out of my game or use the windows key it puts the game in the background like normal, but after a few minutes or if I go back to click on it it just closes the game.

Well known bug with all the SH series. Do not alt-tab as it really makes the game buggy. Most players experiance problems with this. It's a bummer but it's always been there.

i have found if you use the esc key to pause the game then use window key to get out, you can get back and resume the game without issues.

i think the game auto exits if its left in limbo too long but going to the game menu avoids this because the game is paused
