Alt Tab will crash your game

Tropico 1 runs flawlessly. It crashed the first time I launched it, but it never happened again. As for Tropico 2 I haven't tried it yet a.
Happened only once

/steamapps/common/Tropico 2/Tropico2.ini change line 14 to SoftwareDevice=1
returning from Alt+Tab messes up resolution
only software rendering makes playing possible
sometimes gamewindow not focused at startup so intro video is wrong scale and colour
On top of setting SoftwareDevice=1, I also occasionally have to toggle the FullScreen setting between 0 and 1. The game runs in fullscreen regardless of what that value is set to, so I've no idea what it's actually doing, but it does seem to resolve the issue, at least temporarily.
As far as I can tell, it cannot be run in windowed mode
No idea what the trigger is, but sometimes the game crashes when trying to get past the main menu

(GOG version) Works good
Tropico no any issues.
Tropico 2 needs to set run params: %command% -i ./Tropico2Safe.ini
or it crashes.
Played GOG version with Proton 7.0-1.
Tropico 2 need to use config Tropico2Safe.ini.
Does not work at all. Even made changed to the "SoftwareDevice=1" does still not work
Tropico 1 works out of the box great but for Tropico 2 you must edit an ini file mentioned below.
Tropico 2 crashes when you try to start a map. To fix it, open Tropico2.ini file, change SoftwareDevice=0
into SoftwareDevice=1
and save.
Worked out of the box, refreshing! (Proton Experimental)

The game crashes when I clicked to start the tutorial Proton: 5.13-2
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 00000004 at address 0040E4A4 (thread 00c0), starting debugger...
My report is only for Tropico 2: Pirate cave: Installing worked Starting worked. For playing I first had to modify: Tropico 2/Tropico 2.ini Line 14 from: SoftwareDevice=0 To: SoftwareDevice=1
Now it works fine. Before only the map editor worked, but not game itself.
Part crashes after moving to game from menu

Run like native version, no problems.

Works fine right out of the box. No issues at all, even with default settings.


The game runs fine, however the game crashes to desktop after attempting to continue when playing a random map with a time limit (which is a feature that works on Windows). The singular advantage of playing with a time limit is that there is a scoreboard within the game.



No issues here. The game works right out of the box.



If tropico 1 or 2 crashes after menu, adjust the software render in the setting file for the game you want to play as on. WINE may have problems with hardware render.



Just works


Tropico 1: played several hours on highest graphic settings Tropico 2: played half an hour on highest graphic settings Tropico 3: no graphic glitches but unplayable slow, very likely due to my very old graphic card. I stopped shortly after the tutorial ended


works like native.



The game runs well in Fullscreen mode, no issues with Bink Video. Although attempting to switch to "Hardware acceleration" in the Settings results in the game telling you of a missing DirectX 7 Driver.
