Universe Sandbox causes computers to lock?
I've noticed that if I leave the simulation running for about 30 minutes to an hour without disturbing the computer, the computer spontaneously locks. I'm pretty sure that it is caused by Universe Sandbox because I have never had anything happen like this since I got this computer years ago. I don't think it's causing any actual problems, but I was just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this or if anyone can help.

I haven't kept Universe Sandbox running that long in one simulation yet, but it seems quite likely to me that it is the cause. The game crashes a lot on my system, it's still very rough around the edges.

What do you mean by 'locking'? Do you mean freeze/hang/unresponsive type, or actual "lock" screen? Sorry if the question seems a bit out there, but you would be surprised at how many people use 'locked' as a general term.

Yeah, the actual "press ctrl+alt+del to unlock" lock screen, but like I said, not a major problem, but pretty annoying.

If you're running Universe Sandbox it is supposed to disable the screensaver, but shouldn't force the computer to 'lock'.
I'm not sure I've seen this issue occur. Is anyone else having this problem? |
