Is there a fix for alt-tab crashing in online game discussions?
Hi friends, Is anyone having trouble with alt-tab crashing while playing online casino games? I'm getting stuck and can't seem to continue my game or conversation. Can someone help me figure out a way around this without losing what we've done so far? Thanks!

Oh, alt-tab crashes are a pain at internet casinos. Most web-browser casino games seem to be coded in Adobe Flash or Unity, both of which tend to crash when you alt-tab away. My suggestion is to open the game on a separate browser tab. Make it full-screen and don't switch apps. If you have to alt-tab, use the built-in browser task-switchers (Ctrl-Tab in Chrome). Or, see if there is a mobile version of the casino site. Mobile browsers generally don't crash as badly when you switch tabs. If you're using a Flash-based game, try turning on hardware acceleration in your browser. If it's a Unity game, see if there is a setting or option to pause or minimize the game safely. And make sure that your browser and driver software is up-to-date. Failing all that, contact the casino's customer-service department - they may have some proprietary solution for their games. Good luck!
Casino alt-tab problems are usually caused by incorrect behavior from the browser or game client when handling windows being activated or deactivated. One solution is to minimize the game window with your mouse cursor rather than using alt-tab. You may also be able to select "pause" in the casino's menu system before alt-tabbing away from the window. Some players have also found success playing in windowed mode (rather than “full screen”). Alternatively, for those using a browser-based chat client, there exists a standalone client which will prevent this problem.
