I can confirm this happened as well to me when I was playing Legends a few weeks back - at least twice iirc.

I would alt tab to look up something and when I tabbed back in, the game would shut itself down without an error message.

Hi rwolnicki

This is a tricky problem to fix. For now the best solution is to make sure your video card drivers are up-to-date.

Thanks

hi eliotg, hi handberz,
I 've updated to newest diver. Currently, as I think :)(my private computer is broken and I am playing on company laptop not bought by me), I am playing on build in graphic card with Intel processor. I 've updated drivers on yours suggestion. Nevertheless, intel graphic driver are used Intel(R) HD Graphics Family, version 9.17.10.3062. Problem still exists but I think appear rarer (~once per day not every hour).

BR,
RW

additional info: it happens all the time, after a few minutes when game minimized. Always happen after computer hibernation. Newer have similar problems with other applications on laptop, so it is not driver error :) (but could be game - driver interworking error of course )
