Whenever I launch the game and try to alt tab out to discord or another application, it just black screens and then sends me back to the game. However, when it does this it also messes up the texture and pixelates everything, and the settings menu will just continue to get smaller and smaller every time I try to alt tab. Changing the resolution fixes the graphics, but as soon as i try to alt tab out again it just goes back. This wasn't an issue before the most recent update!
I am running with my graphics all on high, and fullscreen. fullscreen windowed mode doesn't help either. No other changes were made to any of my settings prior to this either.
Help? Thanks!
Are you using DX11 ? If so, try if it works in DX9.
Will merge this with the DX11 thread if it does.

Want to add that I also have this issue with DX11. This has been happening since the option to opt-in was first introduced to the game (I forgot the patch number but I remember it was in May). I had to remove the -dx11 from my game.
Now that it's in the game I decided to try it again, but I can't alt+tab out of the game again (running full windowed version). Selecting the DX9 option in the main menu fixed it for me.
But ngl I'm a bit bummed. I really want to run the game with DX11 but if alt+tab doesn't work that's not going to work for me.
