[resolved] [confirmed] Tabbed-out fullscreen crashes if map processing finishes

Replicating this is nigh impossible for me 
. My VM doesn't crash when performing the above steps, although the background image does not load at song select. I have a rough idea of what this could be caused by, so have made amends on the latest test build.
Please try it out.

Had switched to borderless windowed while this has been an issue since that seems to have worked as a temp. solution, but switched back to normal fullscreen now in latest to see if it's gotten better... Two turns of alt-tabbing out and in again later, it blacked out again as it used to. Shucks...
I often alt-tab out of the game instantly when returning to song select from either esc-and-quitting a song, or seeing results screen and going back to song select that way (since I wanna check if anything's happened elsewhere while I was playing)... and that's when it freezes upon tabbing back. It happens in both cases. Doesn't seem to ever happen if I, say, start the game, go to song select and just keep alt-tabbing (at a normal pace at least, doing so really rapidly freezes the game also, but I don't have a reason to do -that- normally | this doesn't happen on main menu, either, for that matter). I have to have just finished playing a song in one way or other...

Are you getting the freezes even without importing new beatmaps?

Quite, importing new beatmaps hasn't been a factor for me in this matter.
Importing skins doesn't let it crash so it might be only on map processing.
If someone experiencing this issue is around for an hour or two and has test build access, please PM me.
I have just replicated it by hitting the windows key very soon after starting a reprocess.
System.Exception: Your graphics card has reported texture corruption.
This is probably a result of not having enough graphics RAM. You may want to try swapping your renderer or lowering your graphics settings.
If I do it later on in the process, it wont crash, but will show the first background strangely.

That's likely a different issue.
I'm trying to use statementreply's replication steps. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing instead. I'm getting weird results when importing a map while alt/tabbed out during a full process.
That's a super enlarged version of the F2 text as a background. I think that this issue is taking random elements in the background and using them as backgrounds when I do this. This is the texture corruption that crashed my game at the start of the reprocess I believe.
I will need better replication steps to produce different results. It isn't crashing or skipping if osu! is tabbed out when the process finishes. This could be fixed on the test build or maybe some players just have graphics cards that have worse handling of texture corruption than mine does and so crash more easily.
Edit: I think I know what causes the corruption. Testing
Edit: I'm pretty sure this is what is causing the crashing for people. When a map is loaded while osu! is minimized, it will show a random background object as the background. Minimizing and expanding the game will choose a new object to be the background. You can do this until osu! tries to load something that crashes the game with the error message I posted.
I also got the B rank as a background.

Hello. I can add that my own freezes has begun when I downloaded and installed new NVIDIA GeForce R331 Drivers. No problems before. osu! crashed the first time I started it after installing drivers and now crashes every time I add new beatmap. I thought, maybe this information will help somehow.
To confirm, yes, this happens without map processing, but it's quite rare in my testing and only happens after maybe 2% of alt+tabs. The way I specified is just a surefire way to trigger it.
EDIT: New way to trigger it, happens almost every time:
1. Play a song
2. Hit back to menu
3. After clicking "back to menu", alt+tab while osu! is fading out
4. Crash!
Probably has the same root cause - osu! loading a new map at song select while tabbed out breaks stuff pretty badly.

It happens often to me, and I saw this in my Task Manager:
The strange thing of this bug is that it happens when I use osu! fullscreen, and when I close the process osu!.exe and I open osu! again, it runs windowed.

translating: "this happens to me as well, every time I'm loading beatmaps, the game turns black and I have to restart it. What causes it ?"novak wrote:
a mi tambien me pasa lo mismo. cada vez que cargo beatmap, el fondo se me pone en negro y tengo que reiniciar el osu!. porque sera?
overconfirming this I guess, I confirm it as well although I have no idea what causes it
it just happened a friend of mine in borderless too although I couldn't replicate it even with what MillhioreF said

Had this similar issue once. It was the auto-hide button.
This also happens on windowed mode. Just import a map while osu! is minimized, this will happen.
What Nathanael said. But the most mystifying thing about the issue is the game will function normally if I just simply drug a osz file direct onto the game's (unfocused) window. The game will be active and load the map promptly, no crashes, everything is fine.
That's the workaround method.
So do I suppose to import every beatmap in that way for the rest of the future? :#

Have the same issue. After alt-tabbing and importing .osz file osu freezes.

Use alt + tab freezes, download a map and run it freezes, it's a pretty annoying problem for some reason minimize and having to use the task manager to run osu! again.
Sometimes this happens after tabbing-out from osu!mania mode song selection. Random bg images.

Same here =.= it happens too often .
This should be fixed. A consequence may be that the song won't automatically import when osu! is minimised.
Test build updated.

The problem is still there for me and some people from my friend list. While in song select every 5-10 or so alt-tab makes osu! freeze/black screen.
Buy a new computer or use windowed mode ^^PowerSkillz wrote:
I got the same issue :/ Annoying because I often play 2-3 songs, then check my facebook or something and I must restart Osu! everytime again because It only gives me blackscreen
Sorry for thread refresh, but i still have the same problem. What shall I do?
Never leave osu! when a beatmap is being imported.Xantis wrote:

But the problem is markes as resolved, so it should be a solution for this. ;x And not while beatmap is imported, but when it's time for scoreboard.
This exact issue happens to me very often as well.Mira-san wrote:

I've got 2 monitors running and everytime I check something on the other, osu! minimized and when I alt-tab to it, it becomes unresponsive and shows me a white screen. Music still plays fine though.
That is a different issue.
