My game crashes if I hit the windows key then will not alt f4

Bit of a problem if you can imagine, I so far love this game, but this is to hard to deal with and I came hear to see if anyone know what was going on

Hi - sorry about the trouble!

Hmm. This sounds like it could be an issue with the graphics drivers. One quick option is to try running the game at your native fullscreen resolution, but with the fullscreen checkbox NOT checked in the launcher. That will run the game in an undecorated window and may get around this issue.

Another thing worth looking at is what other software you have running - anti-virus, MSI Afterburner, anything to do with performance or video capture - and turning off whatever you can.

If all that doesn't help, I'd suggest a clean driver reinstall using the DDU utility to uninstall the graphics drivers first.
