i get a black screen every time in my SK after i press alt+tap switching the top-level windows. It must be solved by restarting the game. It actually annoys
me. Does anyone knows how to fix this problem?
*The game is still running after it goes into black screen. I can still hear the sound of walking when i pressing the wasd button or any other sounds cause by clicking buttons

Can't find a file called Spiral Knight
Thanks for your helping :D But sadly, i can't find a file called Spiral Knight in my Roaming file. Maybe it is because i downloaded SK through Steam but not form the official website?

Steam SK
On Steam Library, Right click on Spiral Knights.
Go Properties > Local Files > Browse Local Files
I used to have this problem but I found out if you put the game in windowed mode you could alt + tab as much as you want- but it creates one more problem: the bar at the top the tool bar at the bottom of the screen will be visible while playing the game. Luckily for us, there's a fix for that too! (but only for Windows if you are using the Spiral Knights client as far as I know)
Create a notepad file called "extra.txt" and copy paste "-Dorg.lwjgl.opengl.Window.undecorated=true" in and save. Now open you file explorer and move the extra.txt file to OS:C/Users/Your Username/AppData/Roaming/Spiral Knights/. Now if you open Spiral Knights the game should look exactly as if it was in fullscreen mode AND you will be able to alt + tab out without a blackscreen problem.
