Black screen on multi-monitor systems
When playing on a system with multiple monitors, the game will default to fullscreen on the primary monitor. When the game is alt-tabbed out of and reopened, the screen will go black. Once there simply wiggle the mouse. Sometimes the game will go back to normal, and sometimes the game will crash instead.
Can't Alt+Tab with the GOG.com version
- The game becomes very prone to crashing after Alt-Tabbing on some machines.

. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (50620) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
