I’ve got a mid-2022 custom build with a Ryzen 7 5800X, RTX 3070, and 32GB RAM, running Windows 11. Usually, games run smooth in fullscreen, but whenever I alt-tab out to check Discord or browse, the game crashes to desktop without error. Tried updating GPU drivers, disabling fullscreen optimizations, and even switching to borderless windowed mode temporarily, but the crashes happen only in true fullscreen when alt-tabbing. I want to keep playing in fullscreen for the best performance and visuals, but this crash is killing my flow, especially during multiplayer matches. Anyone else faced something like this? What fixed it for you? Also, is there a way to safely alt-tab without risking a crash, or should I just stick to borderless even if it’s slightly less smooth?

Love that you do the “dog voice” thing too! It’s like creating your own little language with them. My pup does a similar thing, and sometimes I swear he’s trying to convince me to chase after a squirrel or check out some mysterious smell. Those back-and-forth chats really do make the walks feel like a shared adventure rather than just exercise. @QuietFox568’s idea that they might be telling stories is spot on. I try to match their energy and keep the conversation going, even if it’s just silly noises. It’s amazing how much personality they show when you really tune in. Definitely makes me look forward to every walk a little more!
