Repeat + shift crash.

If you give an order with repeat on, and hold down shift, it will start to muck up the game- graphics first.

While holding down shift it blanks out the whole screen in a solid colour (I think its the bottom of the skybox colour, not sure). When i let go of shift, the screen sometimes returns to normal, and sometimes returns with messed up graphics (All the letters are squiggles and such). If i press shift again, my performance will drop, it will go blanked out, and it will muck up further. Alt-tabbing will fix the graphics problem. If i dont alt-tab and try to keep issuing orders, your game will crash (First time its happened to me, just then, as its the first time i havent just alt-tabbed to try and fix this).

This is paricularly problematic when trying to set repeat orders for air drops.

Perhaps this is just something im doing wrong, or is this something other people have experienced?

Never heard of this. Give relevant system specs.

Doesnt happen for me at home (intel integrated) or at school (440 mx).

Either you somehow manage to have an even worse gpu than me, or your ogl support isnt terribly good ;)

every few months my screen will turn a solid grey colour and not update, and I have to leave the game.
