Keep game running in background

For Flash, I can set a timer that fires off every 15 seconds or so.

For construct, i'm actually connected to a NodeJS server with the SocketIO Plugin.

But when the game isn't in the foreground, it doesn't want to run or send data.

How do we keep the game alive when people aren't looking at their browser for a short period?

Most browsers limit games to running at one frame per second in inactive tabs. Construct 2 just automatically pauses the game instead of running at 1 FPS. Why do you need to update when the app is paused? Can't you re-sync when it comes back in to view?

I'm actually trying the resync direction now. A simpler solution would be no pausing.

Users will have to sometimes minimize the game to look up data on our Wiki.
