Wow seems to "pause" game after a while of botting

[Brainwave2500]

So the games seems to become pauser after I let my bot run for a long while. The computer is not going to sleep or anything. I literally start the bot, everything works fine, turn off my monitor and leave for a few hours. When I come back, I turn my monitor back on press a key on my keyboard and immediate get the default wow log in load screen. After a second I'm back in game and the bot starts up again. The only message I get on the bot is "Not in game". But the second I come back everything goes back to normal. I've attacked a log. I get the not in game message towards the very bottom of the log. The bot seems to work for a while but then its like the game knows I'm not really there and just goes to sleep.

Doesn't seem to fix anything

tried to repair your wow installation?

I've delete and reinstalled wow for a different reason but it still seems to be doing the same thing only when I'm turning off my monitor. To be honest I'm not sure if the bot is just stopping or not. From the log file, it seems to be doing stuff up until I manually stop the bot. But when I look in my chat windows in wow, I don't get any recorder of items being looted for as far back as I can scroll. But when I turn on my monitor again, I get the regular legion loading screen and everything continues as normal. Stuff gets looted and is recorder in my chat window. I don't really know of any way to monitor if the bot is working properly after I turn my monitor off. This issue seems to only occur if the monitor has been turned off for an extensive period of time like an hour or two. I don't know at what time after the monitor gets turned off that this starts happening. This issue just randomly started happening a while ago. The only thing that changed was that I got a new GPU. I'm not sure if that's when the issue started as I do not remember. Is it possible that my new GPU detects that my monitor is off and after a while decides to activate some sort of hibernation mode to conserve power? Thus screwing around with wow and the bot?

whats your energy saver settings?

 

[Brainwave2500]

Well Ive check my graphics card set and there doesn't seem to be any sort of energy saver mode besides turning down the overclocking settings. In terms of windows, the screen is set to never turn off and the computer is set to never go to sleep. I left my monitor on all last night and I did not experience the issue.

i am talking about windows energy saver plans

 

[Brainwave2500]

Like I said the windows power settings are set to high performance. The computer never goes to sleep and the display never turns off

Are your computer member of a domain, if so check if you have a GPO which puts your computer to sleep/logout/lock etc. If your computer is not a member of a domain check your local GPOs.

Is it possible you are just disconnecting? i.e. your internet dies (even for just a few seconds) and it disconnects wow? Just a thought...

Oh yeah. Gave me an idea. Go to Device Manger on your PC. Then "Network Adapters" > Right click your NIC for properties > Go to "Power Management" tab > Untick "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
