IDEAS FOR RYZOM

Running ryzom does not stop win7 from going into "hibernation".

Had no issue before Win7 (on XP all power saving is so close to useless) then on win7 "hibernation" actually does what it supposed to do. Applications like BitTorrent prevent it, a simple network usage prevents it, so Ryzom should do that also. As a programmer (not win, but still) I believe win7 should broadcast some message to all the running apps, and each of them should be able to return "true" (like in "i handled it") before the OS going into hibernation.

Searching for "hibernation" finds no results in the forum, so I've created this post.

Network activity does not prevent it; otherwise it wouldn't screw up my downloads so often :P But applications can explicitly tell it not to hibernate iirc.

You could try this (or make your own ryzom-specific tool from it):

Easiest way will be to make a .cmd or .bat file that will launch both and ryzom and this application.

P.S.: beware of auto-added spaces in this forums: change 'comput er' to 'computer' and 'ma chine' to 'machine'.
