Hey, thanks a lot for posting. I'm gonna try and explain it in more detail. If I launch the game, I can freely minimise and maximise, but if I play for a while, then accidentally minimise, the fps drops to a grinding halt. Minimising and maximising the game fixes this (most of the time). After fixing it, I can freely minimise and maximise again.

Hope that made sense, haha.
