Crash if computer is locked

Submitted by suprnova74 on Sat, 2007-06-23 09:19.
Project:Space Empires V
Version:1.44
Component:Code
Category:bug
Priority:critical
Assigned:Unassigned
Status:active

Description

If you lock your computer, SE5 will crash to a white screen. if in windowed mode, you can see the error box "Critical: canvas does not allow drawing". Dr Watson does not detect this as an error so does not capture any dumps.
I put this as critical since anyone's screensaver can be set to also lock the workstation and causes complete game failure (need to close in task manager in some instances). In addition, this does not bode well for laptops being placed in suspend/hibernate mode.
