Anyone been able to pinpoint what is causing this? Seems to only happen on certain systems.

We recommend that you don't Alt-Tab in and out of the game as this may cause crashes. This is not a thing that will be "fixed" in future updates.

This seems to only happen on certain machines, any idea what causes it to work on some systems and not others?

Patric just told you. If your doing an alt - tab your, as far as I've ever seen, using Windows. Short little explanation. Windows sucks. It is a highly unstable platform and not really the best at any one thing. That's all you need to know. The best recomendation for using any program in windows is to not do anything unusual, alt -tab, ctr - alt - del, et cetera. Alt - tab will crash many of the (newer) programs and games running under Windows.

Unfortunately...

Unfortunately the atl-tab crash makes multi player games harder. It would be a large benefit if the program was more stable.....
