Don't play fullscreen. It's bugged.  ;)
(and you are in the wrong forum section, try "technical help")

usually no games suggest to alt+tab or window key out of full screen. Many video card drivers don't handle it correctly and result in crashes (if it's a good video card for example from nvidia and from recent years you should go well with the latest drivers)

don't make the mistake to compare the graphics because the art is lower end but the computational requirements of what's actually behind the scenes and just not supported by recent art won't remove the more up to date features.
Also video card drivers can have different behaviours depending on the graphic api and most windows games use direct3d, while we use opengl.

Very strange.  I been beta testing a lot of games and never have run into problems like I have here.  I'll do a driver update.  However, my computer does that on its own usually.
