Bot not working in background.

So i've come to realise the bot appears to either not work (get stuck and not move, or be unable to navigate properly) or not work very efficiently, whilst it is in the background.

I have checked the settings and enabled "game always in foreground", and also tried it without this option enabled to see if it effects it. But simply put i cant change windows to another game, or internet browser, watch a movie etc if i do the bot stops doing GR's. I've just checked back to find the timer bar complete ran out, and as soon as i clicked on the client to see this my character suddenly ran very quickly like it was catching up graphically to the instructions it had previously been given.

Its quite random, sometimes it will perform as normal, other times i will look back at the game and find it's been stuck and failed the GR completely. (im on hardcore so its not because i died). Whilst writing this thread, it has completed 2 GR's in about 4-5 minutes per GR. But before i started this thread i was looking through facebook and it failed to complete a GR in time until i flicked back onto the client, then it finished the GR (but time had already ran out). So it looks like its getting stuck randomly because the client is in the background and it cant navigate properly as a result?


This bot isnt much use to me if i have to keep the client open and in full view of the screen without being able to use any other application. If i have to sit watching the bot, i might aswell do it myself.

I've attached most recent log file, but im not sure if it will be of use.

Whilst editing this post to try and add log file... the bot died in the background.

It has done this a few times on characters i dont care about on HC mode, but because of this i used a very tanky build (Crusader Invoker with tanky abilities and items instead just to do GR's around 60)
Its run over 200 GR's just fine without dieing, but because i switched to my browswer and the client wasnt in the foreground, it seems to have gotten stuck and died.

The bot used to be stable enough to bot hardcore aslong as you used a safe build, without any foreground/background issues. But i have no use for the bot if it cant even function anymore without me starting at it to fix when it screws up.

are you on windowed or fullscreen windowed?
 
Are you minimizing the DB/D3 windows so they aren't on your screen at all?

If so, that will cause issues.

Im not minimising it, im just tabing to another window. As opposed to minimising it to task bar. for example...

Its running now, and i clicked on my firefox browser in my taskbar to change windows (instead of minimising the diablo client, i just moved away from it).
