keep running on losing focus

[magnator]

Hi all

Is it possible to prevent update pausing when losing focus on browser?

I am trying to use a multiplayer property so that the game shouldn't get paused.

 

Thanks

game.stage.disableVisibilityChange = true;

Actually it doesn't work as I expected. What I want is to open 2 different browsers at the same time and see how the game is behaving in multiplayer mode.

I don't see why that wouldn't work. I just added it to a test and it stopped the game from pausing at all, I opened a 2nd browser and ran the same example and they were quite happy running side by side.

 

There must be something else going on.

Still doesn't work.    I did something like this

game = new Phaser.Game(800, 600, Phaser.AUTO, '', { preload: preload, create: create, update: update });game.stage = new Phaser.Stage(game, game.width, game.height);game.stage.disableVisibilityChange = true;

Ah, like this:

var game = new Phaser.Game(800, 600, Phaser.AUTO, '', { preload: preload, create: create, update: update });function preload() {   game.stage.disableVisibilityChange = true;   // the rest of your preload stuff here}

You shouldn't re-create the Stage like you did in your code above, but more importantly you should put ALL phaser game code inside one of the key functions (preload, create, update) otherwise it will mostly fail to run.

I understand now

Thank you so much

And is it possible to prevent pausing only playing sound on focus lost?

disableVisibilityChange no works with loops is paused...
