How much memory do you have and how many programs are you running when you alt-tab?

Also try to play in Fixed Window mode, that means you are not in hard full screen, but the game looks still completely like that. Some computer setups are having hard times to push everything on still while tabbing out and re-create the whole graphics again when you tab back. Had this problem while back, in different game, but with much worse graphic card.

It happens to me rarely (in different "colors") when I stream 1080p video or have too much stuff open in browser that when I tab this occurs.

I'm Caroline Grace, and this is my favorite musical on the Citadel.

I think this can be fixed by locating your ExeFile.exe right clicking on it selecting properties and then compatibility and putting a tick by Disable desktop composition.

Give it a try worked for me.
