LUA error on alt-tab from fullscreen

I get the following error when alt-tabbing (or using the windows key, or whatever other means to switch tasks) in full-screen.

Lua Error wrote:Step() failed!: [string "shouldLoadFactory = true..."]:2606: attempt to index field 'vp' (a nil value)


The CTD happens consistently when I alt-tab, regardless of which screen the game is on. But the above error message only shows when alt-tabbing during game load. After a couple of times clicking Retry, Windows declares that the launcher has stopped responding and kills the process.
If the error message doesn't appear Windows still refers to the process as "Automation Launcher" and states that it has stopped responding.

I'm running Windows 8.1 x64 enterprise, which is fully up-to-date on updates etc. The game is a clean install of the latest version, because windows 8 enterprise can't normally update to 8.1 enterprise for some stupid reason, so after having to do a clean install of windows I had to reinstall basically everything.
The only recent change to my computer is that a few days ago I had to install Java again, which hadn't been on the machine since the upgrade to Windows 8.1.

The alt tab issue is a known problem that the devs are aware of. I'm running the game in windowed mode until its resolved. No problems since :)
