exploding and jumping

Feb 19, 2020 Bobsin link
Hey guys! Long time no chat!

I was fighting in B-8 this evening when my computer randomly went to sleep. I do have a hot corner set to do that, but my hands were no where near the mousepad and I was using a controller at the time (Steel Series Nimbus).

As an odd side effect, my opponent destroyed me and said he saw me explode, reappear, then warp out.

I am not sure how to reproduce this yet.. though I will try. But figured I would mention it to you guys incase you have an idea.

Well, it would be good to start with things like: What kind of device and platform are you using.

For instance, on Android the game may continue to run (briefly) when backgrounded, or in certain types of sleep mode. Not for very long, and the behaviour depends on the version of Android.

(I know you state you have a mouse, but it could still be a Chromebook running the Android version, or.. I have no idea).

Honestly though, it's very unlikely that the game is directly causing your device to "sleep".

It could be indirectly causing it, if you're running on battery and it chugs enough of a draw from the GPU that the system decides it's best to go to sleep. I've never actually seen that happen, but something like that could be possible. It would be an OS or hardware-level issue, though, and well outside of what we control.

When I woke up today I thought I should have given that info.. then I thought about how woefully outdated my computer specs in my user profile must be! It's good to see you Incarnate!

Anyway, I am playing on a 15" MacBook Pro running Mac OS 10.15.3 and using a Steel Series Nimbus controller. I did a lot of battles tonight and was not able to recreate the issue... yet. I'll let you know if I figure out how it happened. (gotta prove I deserved that Beta Badge after all!)
