0.14.3 — 6 September 2026

FIXED

- Alt-tabbing out of fullscreen no longer leaves blank duplicate windows behind. Every time you tabbed away from the game, Windows added another empty "Load Factor" entry to the alt-tab switcher, and they stacked up until you quit. The culprit was a Chromium flag that the Steam overlay helper turns on for every game that uses it - Only one copy of the game runs at a time. Launching it again now brings your existing window to the front instead of opening a second one. Two copies meant two autosaves writing over each other in the same folder.

IF YOUR WINDOW RENDERS BLANK OR BLACK

The flag above is a fallback for a small number of graphics setups. If you hit a blank window after this update, add this to the game's Steam launch options (right-click Load Factor > Properties > General) and let me know: --disable-direct-composition %command%
