When I alt tab out of the game wether I am in window mode or full screen the game won’t come back up and locks up. I started having this issue about half way through early access but still can’t figure out what I should try next.

Have you tried lowering your settings? Sometimes your CPU may not be able to go from, say using the internet, to loading an entire game quickly. I usually fix this issue by switching to windowed mode but you said toy already tried that.
