Temporary Workaround for Windows 11 24H2 Alt Tab Crashing

Just thought i would put this out there, as this seems to have fixed the Alt + Tab freeze then crash issue plaguing Windows 11 24H2 with Elite.

Using DXVK (https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk) seems to have fixed the crashes.


Steps i took to use it:

  1. Download the latest release (https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/download/v2.6.1/dxvk-2.6.1.tar.gz)
  2. Extract to a folder
  3. Copy all the DLL's from the x64 folder into your Elite Dangerous Game files.
    ..\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Elite Dangerous\Products\elite-dangerous-odyssey-64\
  4. Run the Game.

It will need to re-compile shaders and there is a little bit of a performance drop by way of the occasional stutter, but for me that's an easy trade-off for having the game work.

Hope that helps.
