Can you tell me what you mean by "Suspend the PC"?

I tried to reproduce this first by locking Windows then unlocking it and second by clicking "Sleep" in the start menu and then re-starting. But I couldn't reproduce this neither of the times.

Would it be possible to send a screen recording of when Altus is bugged and what you do after that? You can use ScreenToGif to record it, in case you don't know how to.

I think that this is an electron issue since also Discord has this issue.

Basically, when Windows wakes up from sleep/suspension the electron app freezes and no action can be done except reopening the app from the taskbar which unfreezes it.

Huh, that's a weird bug. I wasn't able to reproduce it, though.

maicol07 commented 3 years ago

It does this sometimes, not all the times I wake up Windows

amanharwara commented 3 years ago

Do you reckon it only happens after a certain amount of time in Sleep mode or is it random?

maicol07 commented 3 years ago

Mmmm... I don't remember how time was passed... next time it will show up again I'll write here

Found another related bug. I've updated Intel UHD Graphics drivers and I have this issue but now the Altus (and Discord) window turned black (the black app in the background is Discord): immagine

Like the original, reopening the Electron app from the taskbar fixes it.

amanharwara commented 3 years ago

Probably a bug with Electron itself.

amanharwara commented 3 years ago

Have you checked to see whether this still happens?

maicol07 commented 3 years ago

Yes. This bug also happens when attaching a second screen

amanharwara commented 3 years ago

Is it Altus only or other Electron apps as well?

maicol07 commented 3 years ago

No. Even Discord has the same issue

amanharwara commented 2 years ago

@maicol07 Does this issue still occur? (Test with latest version if you can)

maicol07 commented 2 years ago

I don't know. I'm not using Altus anymore since the new WhatsApp Beta app is out. I'll keep this open to see if someone else has this issue
