[Beta 3][Crash] CTD when returning to elemental after alt-tab

If I have the menu up, alt-tabbing out and coming back works ok (sometimes some graphics corruption), but if I do so when the actual 3D game screen is up, it usually (although not quite always) crashes with a Dx Error:Invalid Call

I suppose you are using the default setting for fullscreen and you aren't in windowed mode.

Correct.  The problem completely disappears if I switch to windowed mode (although of course the windows make it not look as pretty...)

Same crash here except that there is more memory allocated.   Seems to happen after you explore the map since It did not happen early on when I started experimenting with Elemental.

DebugMessage:  Not all memory has been freed from memory system AStar.
DebugMessage:     28080 bytes of memory still allocated.
