Re: Game has an indefinite blank white screen when alt-tabbed

@jasmineve99

Try playing in "windowed fullscreen" to avoid this. Some older games respond badly when the user alt-tabs out in fullscreen mode.

    Is the Sims 4 considered an old game now???? And yeah I've been playing in windowed ever since just thought that it might be a bug since it only started doing that recently after I updated my game...

    @jasmineve99  Sims 4 was released in 2014, so yes, it's an older game by current standards.  It's being updated, sure, but it also still uses resources (e.g. DirectX 9) that predate it and don't necessarily support the way someone might use a modern computer.
