Annoying problem when defocusing the Tome4 window

[PowerWyrm]

Never got that problem again in a long time now...

I'm playing ToME4 beta 12b on WinXP SP3 and I haven't had any of these issues. I play on windowed mode though.

Dunno if that's of any help.

Last few lines of the log file from when it happens. Doesn't seem to be anything particularly unusual. Took one of my recent characters and just clicked back into the browser for mebbe 20-30 seconds. Game becomes completely unresponsive, has to be process-killed. Also running XP in windowed mode, though which particular sort of it I fail to remember. I suspect it's graphics card related (there's a fair number of odd performance issues with T4 for me, yeah.), honestly, but there's not really anything I can do about that, currently.

Very weir,d can you try disabled shaders & framebuffer in the video options of T4 please ?

Gave it a shot. Same thing happened, but the program seemed to be a bit more stubborn about going into lockdown this time. Took probably two minutes of being unfocused instead of 20 seconds for the thing to freeze. Log to follow, though it doesn't really look any different.

LATER EDIT: Just noticed something kinda' interesting -- if I open the LUA console before unfocusing, the problem doesn't seem to occur. Is strange, but at least it's a functioning workaround.

MUCH LATER EDIT: No, no, nevermind. Opening the console just makes it take much, much longer for the freeze to kick in, apparently. Bah.

I'm having a similar issue. Whenever I minimize the ToME window, it causes my graphics driver to crash and reset. I have to kill the ToME process after that.

I have an ATI FireGL V7600 running on Windows 7 x64. The drivers are up to date.
