I have discovered while playing Leaf Blower Revolution that the game does not progress if the game is launched but the window is not active.
While it is very good default behaviour, it does defeat the purpose of an idle game. Do you know if I can disable it with a proton flag so that the game will still run while I'm browsing the web with my computer.
Best Regards

Are you sure this isn't a window manager problem?
The suspend is not on loosing focus through but on the windows being not shown on the screen. The game is still running if I'm on the meta-desktop or if it is windowed on a part of the screen. I should try on different desktop tonight to see if it's proton or the DE that is causing this behaviour.
I suspect that the game is dependent on graphics for gameplay and wayland may not draw windows that are not displayed.
