Access violation when game is running while computer screen times out

Post by GeneralNukeEm »

If the game is left running when the computer's screen times out (as set in Windows power settings) the game will crash with an access error upon returning to the game.

Understood. Do you have a save you could upload where you're able to reproduce this?

Also, the game's using an old engine that may cause unexpected errors on modern systems, such as the one you're seeing. We are considering game engine upgrades in the future to help resolve these issue in the future. For the moment, we suggest you read through the FAQ here to see if anything here helps with your situation: https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/view ... 5&t=395626
