PC Going into Standby While Playing DCS World 2.5.4.25729 OpenBeta

[gary palmer]

I have power setting for monitor to go into standby-off after 25 minutes of inactivity. It has happened several times while actually playing DCS 2.5.4.25729 openbeta that the monitor turns off going into standby while I am still playing DCS; providing I have not touched either the mouse or keyboard for 25 minutes- the same period of time as my set standby period.

 

As all of my controls to fly FA-18 Hornet are on my joystick and throttle; in my case it is possible for me to play for 25 minutes without touching either the keyboard or mouse, and then PC goes into standby while I am still playing DCS using just Thrustmaster joystick and throttle.

 

If I simply move mouse or touch any keyboard key monitor comes back on as expected so I can continue to see and play DCS. Sounds like a bug where exclusive use of just joystick and throttle for 25 minutes without touching mouse or keyboard; does not prevent standby from happening. Problem has only happened after this latest update.

 

My specs are:

**running w7/64 and using a MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Duke OC 11GB, 16GB RAM Kingston Hyper X Genesis-DDR3L-1600 on Asus Z87C MOBO, CPU is i7 4770, no overclocking, OS on an Intel SSD and DCS on dedicated Samsung 850Pro.

Since this problem has only happened after latest DCS 2.5.4.25729 openbeta update; it sounds like a bug with change of new update. Like me Esac_mirmidon I notice you are also on W7. If I use either keyboard or mouse before my set 25 minutes for standby problem does not happen.

 

Hopefully ed with look into it and fix...gary
