FTL crashes when using WIN+D (Show desktop)

Post by YuriT »

Hi,

I am playing FTL on Dell E5430 with WIN7 Professional. Every time I press WIN+D to show desktop (which I am used to doing quite often), FTL crashes with a message that display driver stopped working. This only happens in windowed mode, in full screen i can WIN+D just fine. Also It happens only on WIN+D (or "Show desktop" when right-clicking on taskbar), does not happen with ALT+TAB.

I have downloaded latest video drivers from Dell. No luck. Lost countless runs because of that.

Any advice appreciated.

Not sure what advice i can offer. I have experienced the same issue though. FTL doesn't seem to like Win+D or Show Desktop when running windowed. My crashes were quite severe, PC just froze up and would not respond to keyboard or mouse at all. Other apps seemed to work fine, but i was effectively "locekd out". Only option was the reset button.

Since it happened 2-3 times i decided to just stick with fullscreen. I have no idea what causes the problem or even why it would happen because Alt-Tabbing works fine.

I haven't reported the issue because i assumed it was something on my end, and because the game does work fine except when using Win+D in windowed mode.
