the game has been crashing consistently while tabbed out since launch and has gotten worse with the launch of S2
platform: steam, windows 11
hardware:
-CPU: ryzen 5 5600x
-GPU: RTX 2070 super 8gb VRAM
-RAM: 16gb, DDR4
-graphics driver has always been kept up to date. this has happened across multiple NVIDIA driver versions
issue: whenever i tab out of the game, there is a good chance the game crashes. the thing is, sometimes i get a Broccoli error, sometimes the game just freezes and i have to use task manager to kill it. sometimes the crash is instant, sometimes it happens after a few minutes. it is not very consistent. i play on fullscreen, 1920x1080, VSync off and medium-to-low graphics settings. this crashing was happening last season as well and i did find one post here with the same issue, but there was no resolution. the crashing seems more frequent this season. fortunately i dont experience any crashing while the game is in focus.

Hello there,
Thanks for laying all of that out so clearly.
This does sound consistent with a known PC crash pattern tied to alt-tabbing / focus changes, including reports of Broccoli errors, freezes with audio continuing, and hangs that require killing the client from Windows. There are also reports that specifically tie alt-tab repros to GPU hang / device-lost crashes, and one of those reports notes it did not appear to be caused by out-of-date drivers.
Your details are especially helpful here because you’ve already narrowed it down to Steam on Windows 11, fullscreen, and only when the game loses focus. That lines up closely with other alt-tab/fullscreen reports we’ve seen.
The Broccoli code itself points to the graphics runtime detecting a crash or loss of device.
A practical workaround for now would be to avoid fullscreen alt-tabbing when possible and test borderless/windowed fullscreen instead, since the issue appears tied to focus changes rather than normal gameplay in-match. Since you’re also saying it has become more frequent in S2, that’s useful signal for the team as well.
