Alt tab freezes R6 Siege. How to fix it?

So, a small patch added game braking bug to R6 Siege and it’s not a joke. Let's not fool ourselves, who does not minimize the game? Watching something on the Internet or stalking whether the opponent is a cheater are normal activities after death in a round. It’s not a big deal in the regular scenario. You simply need to return to the game at the beginning of the new round. But now this is dangerous – especially when you play ranked matches.

The new bug works in a simple way. When you alt tab R6 Siege and go back, you still hear sounds like nothing happened, but the screen is frozen on the last frame. The first impulse is to restart the game. Of course, this will resolve the problem, but it takes time. So, in the first place, you should press alt + enter to switch between windowed and full screen modes. Sometimes you must repeat the process. Players report that it is a workaround for the problem.

Of course, it’s still only a partial solution. This bug can reappear every time when you alt tab. Repeating each time alt + enter is not very convenient, but other than that, the only thing left is to wait for a patch that will eliminate the bug.
