Headclient Freezes processing when focus is lost?

Post by Michael0100 »

As the subject says.

For some reason, clients cannot connect when the client loses focus.

The server is a 10900K @5.3 All core, 32GB, GT-1030 on Windows 10. It's a server dedicated to just hosting games and only running Teamviewer & Factorio.
It seems that when I click off of the game, it will lock up or if I end the Teamviewer session it brings up a diag box, which again makes it lose focus. I can access it with the hardware mouse, so I can mitigate the issue, but it's incredibly frustrating.

Is this a known issue, have I missed something?

The only thing I can think of is: in windows 10 at least when you click on a console window it starts to select text and that blocks anything from writing to the console. If that's happening it would act like it's frozen from the games perspective.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
