CW3 locks up if screen saver starts

[Sooner]

Windows seven, running CW3 windowed.

If the screen saver comes on, CW3 locks up solid.

I have to use task manager to close it.

Of course, there is no save of the world I was one and I have to start over.

That's going to be something somewhere between Unity, your GPU driver, and the screensaver.  You might get some hint by looking at the game's output log after the crash and before you restart the game:

Hey Sooner, it's probably best if you attach your log as a file to your post as opposed to trying to post it, that way it can be a lot easier to diagnose.

There is an "Attachments and other options" area below when posting.

Looks like your GPU driver is fairly old in GPU driver terms (3+ years old).  You might have some luck with the newest amd gpu driver.

[Karsten75]

It appears that the screensaver grabbed the GPU away from your game... I seem to recall there were a lot of those  HandleD3DDeviceLost issues, especially with one early tester's machine.

I've just spent a few minutes reading the conversations detailing those issues and it seems to have mostly originated if players played in fullscreen and let some other application (like a screensaver) steal the GPU. Unity cant handle that and sulks.

So consider playing in Windowed mode, or otherwise don't leave the game unattended. :)

[Sooner]

I do play windowed. :)

But I'll try updating my drivers and see if that helps.

This particular puter has never really liked Unity.

[Karsten75]

As for the drivers, I don't quite understand how come Windows 8 can have 3-year old drivers...?

[Telanir]

It doesn't really force updates, Windows 8 has been out for a fairly long time so it's all possible.
