Issues fixed

Game Crashes When Minimized

If you minimize or alt-tab out of Legions: Overdrive after a map has been completed and loads a new map, the game will crash. There is currently no fix for this. This issue only exists if you're playing in full-screen; playing in windowed mode and minimizing or alt-tabbing does not cause any issues.
