This is a bit random but I got home from work today and was logged in when I got home afk in fally. My power also went out during the day so I’m confused as to how in the world I was logged in when I turned my pc back on. Nothing was lost and my account is fine.
This may be a tad bit poorly worded. To clarify when i turned my pc on lost city was already open somehow and my character was still in the world without me ever typing my username or password back in.
I’ve had this happen once, back in alpha I think.
The short explanation is that web browsers can do strange things to the game during periods of inactivity such as loss of window focus, the window being minimized, or even OS sleep/hibernation.
Usually this manifests as people getting idle logged out before the 90 second timer. You saw the opposite thing happen – you character was disconnected, logged out of the game, and the client managed to execute a reconnect event when you woke your PC up.
Sounds like your PC was in hibernate mode (OS saved to disk, power off) which is what would’ve led to this.
This is interesting to know. Thank you!
