3.10 less stable
while playing the game I usually alt-tab a great deal while the turn is processing.. I never had much problems but these days (3.10 days?) I get errors and shut-downs when I do that.
Have others noticed this too?
Could it be 3.10?
Anything I can do to change this (except not ALT-TAB-ing cus I need to do stuff  )

Re: 3.10 less stable
Do you play the game in windowed mode? If so, there shouldn't be a problem.
If not - start doing it  . |

Re: 3.10 less stable
I've had several failures with 3.10, either a sudden disappearance of the program (presumably a stack overflow) or a hang during battle resolution. I'm running it in a window.

Re: 3.10 less stable
After I downloaded 3.10 I had battles (sometimes even not during the battles) freeze & hang up often forcing me to reboot completely. However, I didn't attribute this to 3.10 since I also had it occur once while on the internet when Dom3 was not running. I ran different virus/trojan scans, but they found nothing. I stopped having this problem after I disabled Windows automatic update (I update when I want) & disabled Task Scheduler (I never use this). However, all this is probably more due to my quirky XP system than anything with 3.10.

Re: 3.10 less stable
I've actually had fewer problems than with 3.8, but I switched computers so it's not exactly a controlled comparison.

Re: 3.10 less stable
Never had a prob for me. I ALT-tab all the time - pasting in screen shots to make a powerpoint w/all the units. I must have ALT-tabbed a million times now! No issues.

Re: 3.10 less stable
I also have that problem, but if I move the window it is corrected.
