RTC crash when changing task
Sometimes I use <Alt + Tab> to switch to the encyclopaedias maps, and usually that isn't a problem, but if I do so after the parties death during the screen offering a reload RTC crashes that bad, that it even crashes the task manager when I try ti use it to end the RTC task.

Hmm - I can reproduce this, but it's failing in DirectDrawSurface->Restore(); (i.e DirectX is failing to restore the fullscreen window, rather than it being an explicit problem in the RTC code). I'll have a look to see if this can be worked around (and in general better support for windowing), but for now, don't do that 
In my defence, doing anything but playing in fullscreen isn't supported so I've moved this to be a suggestion rather than a bug, but I agree it could be better!

As mentioned in a different thread: I never used anything else than full screen. Of course this is not a big problem, of course I just don't do it anymore for now, yet it is a bug and thus I reported it, although I can of course live with that bug.
