Players on Steam have reported a severe visual glitch in Elite Dangerous triggered when alt-tabbing out of and back into the game. The environment appears locked to the camera, causing textures and surroundings to move erratically with the mouse cursor, including a persistent orange squiggly line on screen. This bug effectively soft-locks the game by blocking menu access, forcing a full restart to recover. The issue points to a stability or rendering problem related to alt-tab behavior, potentially disrupting gameplay and player experience until addressed.
