Hmmm i knew that one but didnt think to try it because the mouse wasnt working. I just assumed that because I couldn’t switch the focused window with alt+tab, that opening another wouldn’t work either. But i also have task manager always open on one monitor so my situation could be different either way.

Regardless, I pretty quickly fixed my game through means that have nothing to do with this topic, but because I asked the question and I’m genuinely curious, I’ll load my corrupted save and see what happens in a moment (it was a quicksave that couldnt be loaded without freezing shit basically)
