Now when the wife shouts me to do something i come back and my hunting session is over.
This can be very annoying when I'm try to do competitions.
Please tell me this is a bug and not a new timeout feature.
idem the same

Merged new posts with existing topic.

There's a bug report already (https://forum.thehunter.com/viewtopic.p ... 66#p940350), but I don't think we have an official word yet.

yes, this needs a fast fix; in the meantime there is sort of a "workaround" for this till we have it worked out by the devs; dont minimize the game. just hit the escape-button. or open the map (pauses the game)

Just had this occur to me as well :(
Doc is as upset as I am it seems.
Might be my fault though, I did pause with Esc but Alt-Tabbed. Usually don't have any issues though.

I am affected too. Two hunting sessions - two times "A new game has been started...". Both times I paused the game, switched to a browser for 10-15 min, and once switched back - oops... :(

It doesn't mean your account details have been compromised, it just means there's a mix up with the sessions in the backend. Don't worry about it. Although, it's always good to be diligent with passwords, so changing them every once in a while is a good thing.
I don't worry about my account because I have a strong pass that I change frequently and my Antivirus and malwarebytes I know that provide me secure session but I feeling bad against EW because i think is a bug and at the moment I lost a Big Water Buffalo I harvested that I need for my tournament in ACL . Normally they will let the choice to continue or quit and not to force us to quit. Shame !! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
It will be that the future of the Classic for what we talk in another thread :?: :?: :?:

It happens to me on occasion. It usually happens when I pause the game, start surfing the net and I'm away too long.

Happened to me for the 2nd time today, while I was asleep.
Both times happened on Hammeldal. Both times were either very late into the first day, or very early into the 2nd day.
I changed my password multiple times so I do not think that my account was taken.

This is old, but was fixed, hopefully didn't came back, its not really that someone took your account, this used to happen sometimes when you alt tab to go to windows, and if you took some minutes to came back to the game you were welcome with that screen, was extremely annoying because some times you need to alt tab to check something else, or even to check missions, and comeback to the game and puff! you got that black screen. But that was solved years ago... or not?
