GTA IV has a bunch of bugs related to alt+tab. It seems to be super sensitive to the exact window messages it receives.

No idea what's wrong or how to debug this, so don't expect a fix for this any time soon.

Okay thanks for the reply, also I play GTA 4 in windowed borderless mode since that is meant to help with alt+tabbing, but I really appreciate the reply

I guess you already did this, considering your title? Try making a shortcut with -nomemrestrict -norestrictions Or make a text file and name it commandline.txt with the same commands and move it to the same folder as GTAIV.exe

This should unlock resolution in the game graphic settings.

Also, does the same happen without dxvk?

Similar issues on AMD (Polaris), I think not always, but I'm able to change my resolution back to normal on R* Launcher version of the game. It even happened that it switched the resolution to the lowest on startup, not only after alt tabbing. JFI also once when I showed up ENB panel in-game using DXVK and I think Reshade, it made the game stutter for too long and the game crashed, but I think it didn't happen more than twice if at all in normal gameplay.
