Dayshadow Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I've been playing in window mode so I can do other things while waiting on WZ queue. I've encountered an issues with the screen going black if I minimize it during an active WZ/GSF and I basically have to close the client and restart as the visuals never return. I lose video and eventually audio stops. I did this because I restarted my computer and needed to reactivate my controller. So the screen came back to a black screen window. This happened once and I get the 20 min lockout. I play a GSF match successfully and then it happens again in a WZ. Screen dimensions got altered (click the edge of screen). Yeah, yeah, the moral is don't PvP in windowed mode. So I just stay logged off and go watch some YouTube because I know I'm gonna be locked out again. I ended up coming back 30 min later. But when I log in I see the lockout is still in effect and I have 29 mins left. Question: Is the second lockout 30 minutes and the lockout timer starts when you log back in. Meaning I have to immediately log back in to even get it started? Or is the second lockout in X amount of time a whole hour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 You could, you know, do stuff in-game while you're waiting. Dailies, planetary heroics (on Pubside, I recommend the Coruscant ones because you can basically sleepwalk them), whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you don't know my character names. And this was before the match even started. Or did you think I didn't realize my controller wasn't working until halfway into the match? Anyway, still no answer. I guess nobody knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randigz Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 You said first: "I've encountered an issues with the screen going black if I minimize it during an active WZ/GSF and I basically have to close the client and restart as the visuals never return." But then you say: "And this was before the match even started." So it sounds like you created the problem mid-match (not before), and you should probably avoid minimizing the screen during an active wz/gsf. Your controller needing reactivation being a result of restarting the computer from your previous match you minimized. As far as your lockout question: this may have changed but my understanding is that the second lockout timer is an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
