Screensaver activating during flight

[mutha]

When my screensaver activates in flight the game screen goes black, with only the cursor visible.  I click around for about five seconds and the screen refreshes (presumably when the screensaver deactivates).

I turn off screensaver whenever I fly, but I hope AH3 can have the same AH2 functionality so I don't need to do this.

Thanks!

Does it do it when you run the DX9 version of the game?

It also happens in the DX11 version.
(I have been disabling the screensaver to avoid the problem.)

I have not tried the DX9 version but will do so tonight and get back to you.

Same here.

I tried the DX9 version and it happened there as well.

Mutha, if you want to protect your screen but the screen saver is too aggressive (at least in AH) you might like this workaround: Disable the screen saver and make your screen shut down in a shorter time. Mine goes off after 15 minutes of inactivity and it hasn't bothered me ever. The offline state prevents the image burning on the screen at least as effectively as a screen saver.

Heya Bizman - I did think about doing this, but my screensaver displays my pictures, which I love seeing (my computer is in my living room).

If HiTec can't/won't fix, it is not a problem for me to manually disable my screensaver before launching AH3, which I am currently doing.

But if it's easily fixable, it would be nice not to have to take that extra step. Thanks!
