melarky Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I remember the inactivity (AFK) threshold used to be something like 20 minutes. Lately, it has been more like 2 minutes. And it's not a random thing, it happens everytime I switch from NA to Windows (Alt-Tab). I end up back at the NA startup screen. It doesn't seem to matter what I do in Windows - run an app, open a browser. I am playing NA in full screen mode. Has the timeout interval changed?

Macjimm Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) A timeout less than 20 minutes would be very disappointing. I doubt that it is by design. I remember Admin saying that playing AFK is acceptable now. The timeout was implemented when there were too many players for the three servers. When a server was full, new players had to wait to join until the population dropped below 2,000. We don't need a timeout at all anymore, unless the population increases.

melarky Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 I agree but that doesn't remove the fact that it is consistently happening to me. In fact I am logged in right now and by the time i get back there is a good chance I will be logged off. Can't even check the forums without being disconnected.

Ink Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Captain, The afk kick timer was not changed for a very long time. Most likely you are experiencing temporary connection issues that you mix up with the afk kick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
