So I minimize my game, to go check out a link a Youtube video a friend posts on Xfire, I finish watching the video and maximize the game window again. I get slapped across the face with the following error and loose [b]2 - 4 hours[/b] work worth of building: [URL=http://img52.imageshack.us/i/gerror.png/][IMG]http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/5997/gerror.png[/IMG][/URL] It happens [b]EVERY[/b] single time I maximize Garry's Mod after minimizing it. It's driving me insane basically. [b]System Specs[/b] [b]Processor:[/b] Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz (8 CPUs) [b]Memory:[/b] 2046MB RAM [b]Hard Drive:[/b] 150 GB Primary HD, 1 TB Secondary HD [b]Video Card:[/b] NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT [b]Monitor:[/b] Philips 220CW (22inch WIDE LCD MONITOR 220CW8) [b]Sound Card:[/b] Realtek HD Audio output [b]Operating System:[/b] Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3 So is this a common problem for everyone or is it just me? I was looking for a bug report section of the forum for Garry's Mod but couldn't find any so this is where I went.
This doesn't exactly fix the problem, but Xfire has an ingame browser, which you should be able to use for youtube videos, albeit any other website
I know it does, but I didn't specifically say I always minimize just to use a web browser either. I just used it as an example.

That's just the way it is.
