(Fixed) Game Minimizing Randomly
So I just got a dual monitor setup running and I'm using two seperate backgrounds on each monitor. I really like what I've done with it, but every once in a while the background will restart and minimize my game. This never happened when I had only one monitor. Any help with this issue is heavily appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Edit 1: I just finally got around to timing this. It happens about every 30 minutes.

Edit 2: So after some fiddling with desktops I determined the issue was with how I had a playlist of regular wallpapers that would cycle about ever 30 minutes. So I set it to just one wallpaper and that's stopped it.

I have the same problem, except that I only have one monitor. But I have a playlist of different wallpapers. I don't know if it's one wallpaper who is the problem or if it's the fact of having a running playlist.

I now believe the problem lies in the playlist, try running it with just one and see if that fixes it.

Did you have any web based wallpapers in the playlist? Chromium takes focus when it is started unfortunately (it's somewhere hardcoded into it) so right now it could cause this issue. I don't think it should happen with video/scene wallpapers though.

I just had standard desktop backgrounds running.

I have a similar problem where my monitors will just shut off and turn back on randomly. It's very annoying so I will just have to keep my playlists paused and just change them when I want with hotkeys
