Alt tab is an age barrier. I literally have no idea why people do it in games. I know what it does and I use it when I'm working or something but if I'm playing a game I'm...playing a game. What would I need to alt tab out for? It's literally an ADHD generation thing. I assume you're changing podcasts or posting on reddit or whatever trash your failure of a sperm does.

Can somebody explain to me in simple terms why some games are complete shit at letting you alt tab and others are perfectly fine and have no issues with it?

Knowing that there is this distinction why do games allow this shit to happen.

>>389556098
Memory allocation. Some games only use as much ram as it needs, meaning you have spare to switch between tasks, while other unoptimized games use all of your memory and the computer has a hard time doing anything other than running the game, causing instability issues.

There are several different reasons it can happen, but that's usually the most likely culprit. Shitty optimization and resource allocation.
