I have seen this before in other games. Try setting your display mode to Fullscreen Borderless in settings - which is effectively what ALT ENTER is doing. This won’t affect your performance.

I believe it’s something to do with GPU Hardware Scheduling or GSYNC.

I now tried again, but the problem looks solved. Everything goes as it should, without black screen, freesing or CTD
