    In my experience, I can alt-tab if I wait 5-10 seconds after minimizing before restoring the window. If I restore before then, it will crash.

    During those 5-10 seconds the game seems to be freezing. I know this because i receive lost packet messages on my test server.

    I have compatibility mode enabled.

    Also as a workaround was to use CoD2MPWindowed https://github.com/Si13n7/CoD2MPWindowed, but this app no longer works on win10 1809.
    sudo apt-get rekt

    That breaks gsync compatibility though.

    To GET gsync compatibility on cod2 you have to rename the .exe to iw3mp.exe. That might also help with the crashes as it forces your drivers to use the cod4 presets, which work pretty well on cod2.
    "Does not work" is an error report for a bug between keyboard and chair.

    All hail Artie Effem

    Do you have an AMD or Nvidia GPU?

    Renaming to iw3mp.exe fixes the crash for me :ok_hand:
