cant alt-tab in lobby with 0.5

[Kryo]

If im in the game lobby and try to alt tab in FAF to check chat or anything else, a message with a "terminate" appears and blocks. If I then quit FA lobby FAF closes too.

Read the message

It says are you still in the game? It gives you a chance to alt-tab back and finish your game INSTEAD of killing your FA process.

However, the underlying bug is a crash of the lobby. I need your error log after such a crash.

Read the damn message. It says are you still in the game? It gives you a chance to alt-tab back INSTEAD of killing your FA process.

However, the underlying bug is a crash of the lobby. I need your error log after such a crash.

i read the message, and if i hit terminate and everything closes or I tab in FA again and exit, and everything closes, no difference.

What... oh noes. That means it crashes for a hell of a lot of people!

I really need to fix that ASAP. I can't generate preview pix from basemaps on REAL installs (no administrator account shit).

[thygrrr]

Fixed, update being rolled out within the hour.

Also what will probably has to do with it: FA Lobby says I have no official map anymore

Yeah. It should actually crash everytime it tries to make the preview.

Try this one:

Tell me if it starts. Also tell me if it forces you to uninstall the old version or something.

yeah win 7 wants me to uninstall the other version first.

but the crash problem seems to be fixed, though I still have no sound
