Hello!
I have 3 monitors. While playing, I'm constantly doing things in other windows as well. Unfortunately, sometimes when I press alt-tab to cycle between open windows, my Sea of Thieves game closes.
Can anyone help me prevent this from happening? It's not fun when you spend 2 hours on a voyage, then the game shuts down on you.
@ilovegirlbutts Ahoy matey!
You need to enable this app to run in the background to prevent it from disconnecting you from the server.

Hi, and thanks for the response. I just checked and Sea of Thieves already had permission to run in the background.
There isn't such a feature @ilovegirlbutts , @KlutchxKing518 must be getting confused with another game he's played?
As far as I know, this is an issue known throughout much of the pc SoT playing community. The only suggestion I have is to never ALT-TAB.
What most try to do is always bring up a menu in-game (hit TAB to open your inventory), then move your mouse cursor off the game screen and on to one of your other monitors. Then proceed with what you want to do.
By following this method, I don't crash (like I do when I use ALT-TAB).
