Over the last week I keep having an issue when tabbing out and back into the game. Sometimes when tabbing back in the game is frozen, I end up having to force close it, there doesn’t seem to be any pattern to indicate the cause. I have tried everything to the point I got so fed up as it happened 4 times in the space of an hour that I formatted my hard drive, installed a fresh copy of windows and downloaded warcraft. I thought it was fixed as I was running it with no addons and no other software that could interfere with it … then it happened again! I couldn’t pin point a pattern, or do anything to recrate it, it seems totally random. My partner has the same PC and runs warcraft with the same graphic settings and is not having this issue at all. The game runs fine when playing, it’s just tabbing back in sometimes causes the freeze to happen.
Any ideas how to diagnose this or fix it?
I have tried:
new copy of windows and warcraft on a formatted hard drive
Updating graphics drivers
rolling back to previous graphic drivers
closing all other programs (nvidia, razer etc)
