I recently found out that a game I played froze when my pc went into auto suspend. Does this help with it too? Thanks for making this.
I maybe wasn't clear, I didn't make this, I just found it and figured folks here could benefit from knowing about it!
But no clue if it'll help with that, worth a shot tho.
Thanks for clearing that up. Thanks for sharing then. Maybe someone else knows this.
According to the FAQ it doesn't help for your case. But they suggest another too. Maybe give that a look.
Thanks! Will do!
No, it won't help. It just suspends a task and going into sleep then won't help. Maybe disable suspend and change to hibernation. This would work. You most likely would need to enable it first:
Powercfg /h on
On a commandline.
You can try out easily with e. G. Procexp from sysinternals (a great Taskmanager-replacement too!). You can just suspend your game and try it.
Thanks for the tipp! Currently, I have a bit of a problem with hibernation. My proprietary gpu driver sends me to blackscreen and forces me to hard reboot. So that I might need to fix first. :)
I'd love that integrated into Steam Deck.
Not the same as native integration, but there is a decky plugin that does this:

Thanks, will check it out!
Thank you for edit OP. I was wondering if this would be a good solution to trying to play 3 mins of Dark Souls while waiting for my rocket league teammates to join up. If I run two games at once my PC usually freaks the fuck out.
(still a cool app, thanks for the link)
Also I just noticed this is a crosspost, oops.
I made a similar thing a couple of years ago, but there is no UI or configurability: https://github.com/wvdschel/pause_process
Nice! If I wasn't using the custom hotkey I'd jump to this for sake of keeping things lightweight. Thanks for sharing.
It has a global hotkey, but it's hardcoded to the pause button (Fn+P on most keyboards that lack a pause button).
Yeah, I just use pause for music, and I have a macropad with f13-18 so I just set one to trigger suspend.
Makes sense.
At some point I thought about CRIU
Is this any different from Windows suspend/resume? The feature built into task manager seems to free up RAM on the system.
