Steam play time still counting when computer sleeps

Post by ndh »

My play time seems quite inflated. I don't think I played 120 hours yet. Maybe I'm in denial...

When I stop playing I usually don't exit Factorio, but use Windows' Sleep to turn off the computer. I'm under the impression that Factorio will still count this time as play time. Am I wrong? Seems like a bug to me. If I'm AFK, and the computer is still running, I would understand it. But if the computer is asleep it seems wrong to count this as play time.

Well, whether it is bug or not, Factorio doesn't count time played, Steam Client does.

I hadn't considered that. Thanks for letting me know.

I'm noticing this as well.

Usually when the deck is asleep the playtime keeps counting but after you quit the game the time spent asleep is automatically deducted from the time. However that isn't happening with Factorio. It's the only game I've had this problem with.

It also always has an issue with cloud saves being out of sync which is weird. Not sure what Factorio isn't doing correctly that other games are.
