Game crashes when "alt+tabbing" from the game window

A new update is now available, introducing "Points of interest" and many more changes!
Latest hotfix: 0.9 (2025-10-31)

    Title quite says it all. When I use alt+tab to use/see another window on my computer and try to go back to Rising world, the game is just black and doesn't respond. When I shut it down in task manager and open it again, everything works fine. I think it started happening after the new update.

    What "Display mode" are you currently using (go to settings -> graphics)? If it's set to "Fullscreen", try "Fullscreen Windowed" instead. If that doesn't help, you could try to open the "config.properties" file in your game directory with a text editor and change the value of game_pause_on_lost_focus. If it's already set to false, change it to true, or vice-versa.

    I am using full screen mode. When I set it to windowed borderless, my game fps started dropping randomly. I put it back to full screen and my game no longer crashes.
