PC - Still experiencing game freezing when tabbing out
As of the 8.1.0 patch I am still experiencing the below issue. Not sure if my original post fell through the cracks as it doesn't appear to be tagged with a status as with other reports hence my repost. Unsure if this was due to this being a new account and requiring email verification at the time.

Steps to reproduce
Step 1: Boot the game, must be running in fullscreen windowed.
Step 2: Tab out of the game and restore focus, repeat this until the game freezes.
Step 3: In order to fix the game tab out and refocus and it should unfreeze.
Additional information
- I first noticed this on the PTB for 7.7.0 - when returning to 7.6.X after playing the PTB I no longer experienced this issue.
- Still occuring after the recent 7.7.1 patch.
- Running the game in fullscreen mode stops this bug from occuring, I have only had the issue in fullscreen windowed.
- If I don't restore focus to the game after it freezes the game will crash, I have attached the log file for this situation. I did notice the presence of a crash report in the folders for this too but haven't included it in this initial report as the template doesn't ask for it.
- If I am in a match or lobby when this happens and I don't fix it as in Step 3 quickly enough the game will throw me out of the match/lobby when I eventually unfreeze it.
- Audio continues playing when frozen but game state does not appear to progress as things like chase music will continue playing endlessly.

I have gotten this bug too. Seems to happen when tabbing at just the wrong times, like something in the menus or endgame interface is being loaded.
