Issues with lost window focus

I'm keen to understand if anyone else is experiencing issues when the window loses focus?

In my case, if you lose focus it appears that the UI is responsive forever thereafter. This can be avoided by not alt-tabbing out of the window, but it does mean you're stuck in the game until you have completed the match. To considerably improve performance I've found that "full-screen" is 1.5x to 2x the performance of full window, but it may be more prone to lose of focus.

This is a great game and works very well under CrossOver, but I'm continuing to investigate ways of:

  1. Improving performance without reducing quality
  2. Resolve some of the QoL problems that seem to arise during play

If I find anything more broadly applicable I'll fold into another tip, but if anyone else would like to help out, let me know!
