Pressing Windows key then the game crashed with an error message

Asked By Shane M Heck 0 points N/A Posted on - 07/03/2013

Hello,

I have played this game fine since C++ error fixed in build 246, thank you UWE for listening our gamers voice. When I updated Build 247 and pressed the Windows key then the game crashed with an error message. Anyone can help me solve this problem? I am playing TF2 and CSGO and can ALT-tab out window normally. Thanks.

Error

The engine is in a state from which it can not recover.

Restart the application to continue.

OK

Hi Shane,

 

Applications specially games are sometimes having that kind of error. One of the reasons is that you open more than two applications at the same time and other possible reason is that the VGA of your computer can't handle this kind of large data so when you are trying to press the windows key on your keyboard or even doing the ALT + Tab you are having this error. To fix the error just close the application and launch it again then try pressing the Windows key or ALT + Tab if the same error still appear this time you have to restart your computer then launch only one application at a time.
