  I think the only possible way around it that someone discussed was to use a plugin from rexrainbow that calculates how much system time has elapsed since you were last on the tab and then update your stats to reflect this. Not sure if that is ideal for your game though, maybe!

  I suppose that I could try out the plugin, if that's the last resort I have. Where can I get it and how do I install it for my game?

  Oh, that's a shame. I was trying to make a clicker game similar to that of Cookie Clicker, Candy Box or Clicking Bad. Without this function the idea is worthless, and Construct was the only game engine that I could find that was easy to use and had all the functions I required for this sort of game. I even took ages figuring out if I could do everything I needed like upgrades etc. Everything was going to work, and I even made a prototype that worked with everything (just not fancy), which was when I discovered this problem. This is really upsetting <img src="smileys/smiley19.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  Usually a Construct game pauses when the page has been switched out of or is not visible. I want my game to still run even when the Tab that it would be in is not visible, minimized etc. I was just wondering if someone could please tell me how I can set it in Construct that my game still runs even when it the player does not have page visibility.
