Locking workstation stops scenario

[smakkerParticipant]

Hello, I have tried searching the forums to see if others have experienced this issue to no avail.

When locking my workstation (Windows Key + L) to step away, I’ve come back to see that miqobot has skipped any crafting scenario with the following error:

(10:46:47) Crafting step 8 -> key '9'
(10:46:51) Crafting step 9 -> key 'ctrl+6'
(10:46:53) Yes, crafting SUCCESS! (19/75)
(10:47:37) Hmm I can't find any recipes that match 'Dark Rye Flour'. Sorry :(
(10:47:37) Crafting stopped.

To sum it up:
I lock my workstation
miqobot finishes the current active craft macro in progress
miqobot tries to continue with the chapter but is unable to input any recipe into the Crafting Log
miqobot moves on to the next chapter
if the next chapter is to craft, it fails
if the next chapter is for gathering, it succeeds and continues gathering without issue.

My suspicions are that the Windows Lock Screen interfere with miqobot and it’s ability to direct input to FFXIV only when crafting, which seems odd – but that is the behavior I have observed.

Here is the chapter in question for good measure:

craftMacro(DarkRyeFlour)
job(CUL)
repair()
materiaExtract()
recipe(Dark Rye Flour)
craft(75)

My workaround has been to shut off my monitors for now but I would really like to be able to lock my workstation as that is safer.

We are sorry, but it is unlikely that we will be able to resolve this issue.
From this description it looks like your system significantly reduces processing power when locked, which makes the game client unable to perform the search function. One of the options you can try is to remove the FPS limiter in the game settings.

But if it doesn’t help, then there is nothing else we can do. We will not be able to modify your workstation system behavior from within Miqobot application.
Please accept our apologies.

You have to leave your system running normally when using Miqo. Can’t lock your windows profile account. I been using for weeks with no issues that way

Thanks for your feedback however, this is absolutely false as I have found a workaround in which I simply need to put the game into windowed mode.

Please close this thread.
