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

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.

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.

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

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.

No problems for me, and I also alt-tab out all the time...

Default Re: 3.10 less stable

Both versions have been rock solid for me- but I've also disabled gl extensions because I'm using Intel "Graphics". I think a lot of alt-tab errors are due to graphics, but I'm basing that on nothing solid, just a hunch. Resolution changes? Is your game set to your same res. as the desktop?

As an experiment, does it still crash if you create a shortcut to the game's exe
Code:
"C:\whatever Location\Dom3 folder\dom3.exe" --noglext



There'd be a way to fix it other than disabling it, but if this did/did not work, it would tell me something.
