The Alt-Tab Bugbear

Which normally happens before I can reach a port.

I only do alt tab now when I want a nice screen shot. I save the game then alt out to save my shots in GIMP. I do not use the normal screen shot mode in the game.

Well yeah, but you don't have to do the reload thing right away. With the triple battery drain, I don't want to risk an encounter before submerging.

I generally only alt-tab to do game related things; like checking on the die rolls of the Ted Healy system, or more critical, using my Tracking Party app. for a firing solution. Otherwise, I prefer not to do it.

I don't know if this will help everyone, but it has worked for me so far. Just pause the game before Alt+Tab and there should be no ill effects.

I always use the 'Esc' key to pause it; so that doesn't work for everyone.

Ahh, OK. I always pause using the menu button on the lower right.
