Logged off / losing connection after 5-10 mins idle time

[Zerebro]

<p>Since a week I did a fresh installation of EQ2 with the beta-launcher. Great stuff, works like a charm.</p><p>But.. each time after I've taken a little break while being logged in (you know, getting a drink, stretching, toilet, cuddling with the cats), I am back at the character selection screen.</p><p>Is it only me? I never had this before. Is there some setting to prevent this? It is inconvenient because I also get kicked out of groups and raids because of this. Not good to prevent RSI and such <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Cheers,</p><p>-Z-</p>

<p>Greetings,</p><p>Does your computer automatically lock or go to sleep after a certain amount of time?  It sounds like the computer is losing connection due to some kind of sleep/lock mode.  The same thing happens to me when my computer automatically locks after 10 minutes.</p>

<p>Thanks for the quick answer!</p><p>I have only a screensaver on (blank screen), but disabled the autosleep function. Is there some logging where I can check this?</p><p>Cheers,</p><p>-Z-</p>

<p>Just going for a short break, have disabled it all indeed. I'll report back, also if it helped. Then I might blame Vista <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
