Screensaver mode

[Nighthaven]

Ok, a little strange thing that seems to be happening for me. Whenever the game is left unattended for some time, both, my PC, and my Laptop, decide to go into screensaver mode, effectively pausing the game.

Both systems have it disabled, and I can effectively leave both systems unattended without either bothering to go into screensaver moder. Yet, for X Foundations, 10 or 15 minutes of inaction turns it on, and I have not seen any option yet about how to disable this. Anyone else having this, phenomenon ? Is there a way to turn this off ?

Seems like a power saving thing, you should check you OS's settings.

Anyway, if you set the game to "borderless window" in the graphic settings, it should not pause.

Nah, power saving for my laptop is off, and my pc has the screen shutoff set to one hour, and it happens after no more then 15 minutes in X foundations. So, this feels like something the game is dictating over my power savings setting.

The borderless mode is a good tip though, I will be trying that next time, thanks ^^

Well, that doesnt help either. Borderless window mode and window mode results still in sleep mode for the screen to happen, and the game to pause. And noted again, with windows power savings settings being turned all the way off.

Has anyone encountered this problem before ?

* I've set PC power settings to use max power output.
* I've put the game into windowed-borderless in the graphics settings.
* I've tried using -nocputhrottle as an X4 launch argument in Steam.
* I've poured through every option in the game settings to see if I've missed something, and found no option that would control the screen saver turning on/off.

The only thing that seems to work is turning my screen saver off completely in Windows.

Have the same issue but mine seems to time out in about ten min. If I want the game to continue to run unattended I fire up Game Touch Controller and activate AFK, that randomly inputs W A S D every few min.

Turning off Screensaver does nothing for me. Problem persists. And noted, this game is the only one this happens to, so call me crazy, but something within this game dictates for the screensaver to happen, overruling windows itself. After playing around with every option available to me, that is the only conclusion I could come to >.>

Certainly is a phenomenon.
