Black overview map after switching windows.

Trucker Gigi

Just some guy
I got a new PC and every time I tab out of the game to work on another app and come back, the tab map becomes completly black. I have had this issue with my old PC as well but I can not remember the issue or find a thread that helps me with this. How can I prevent this issue?
 
Solution
Yes, but it can still be fixed without going windowed. I fixed the issue and I think that it was related to DirectX9 not being allowed. Case closed
Are you running the game in full-screen?

alt+tabbing away from the game if it's running in full-screen causes all kinds of issues, one way around that is to run it in windowed mode.
