Can you provide a screenshot? What other programs are you using, and what operating system/computer specs are you running?

Sounds like a memory leak of some sort.

Try playing it sometime without other programs running and not alt+tabbing out of it.

Does it close the game when it switches to the desktop?

Try to mess with the game's compatibility properties (i.e. run in compatibility mode for windows xp, disable visual themes, run as admin, etc.).

it doesnt close the game, it just switches to desktop. then i click the game in the toolbar and i resume my play.

maybe ill try that. haven't really looked at the options before

That's why I suggested you run it in compatibility mode for XP.

actually nevermind. i found an alternative

the game still crashes after some time, but luckily the saves still work so i can still play where i left off (if i dont forget to save)

Awesome, glad you've got it working. Hopefully the next version will have improved stability too. :)
